Get ready to be blindsided by a barrage of new taxes. $1 trillion worth...
They'll be coming courtesy of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.
And they won't just be affecting those who make over $250,000. The bulk of these taxes will be passed on directly to the middle class.
That's because while a majority of these "stealth taxes" were designed to be taxes on businesses, they're actually transferred directly to ordinary citizens.
They include the investment income surtax, a Medicare payroll tax, even a "tanning tax" on those who utilize indoor tanning services.
"Many of those [hidden] taxes, especially those on hospitals, insurers and medical device manufacturers, will ultimately be passed on through higher health costs," said Michael Tanner an expert on the healthcare law.
In fact, analysts estimate Obamacare will cost the average taxpayer nearly $6,000 in extra taxes as early as next year.
Obamacare Tax Hikes Stoke Outrage Many of the Obamacare taxes are already in effect, others will hit January 1. But they are already infuriating millions of Americans.
While even Obamacare detractors applaud the requirement that insurance companies cover pre-existing conditions and put a stop to lifetime caps on benefits, they say these laudable benefits don't compensate for the bills high cost - especially in new taxes.
According to most experts, Obamacare will create a total of twenty new taxes or tax hikes on the American people.
In fact, the Obama administration has already given the IRS an extra $500 million to enforce the rules and regulations of Obamacare.
The new taxes don't bode well for millions of middle-class Americans. Incomes for the rich have soared this decade but middle class workers have seen their wages stagnate and even drop since the 2008 Great Recession.

Or elect more of them to ‘fix’ the problem, more like.
This is old news.
A lot of them went into effect years ago.
It’s the insurance that’s just “rolling out” now LOL.
Tanning tax is the ultimate “white man’s” tax. Not too many of Holder’s people using the tanning salon.
Here’s another ObamaCare tax - on selling houses...

Did you hear the one about large companies being forced to pay $64 per dependent? Yep, that’s dependents who are covered by company group health insurance. All things being equal large companies will now hire people with fewer dependents.
Then there’s this one - a tax on people who sell homes:

Anyone who votes for a democrat in the next election - well, other than the ‘takers’ is a total fool.
That's one tax I'm not currently concerned with - despite trying to sell a house. You actually have to show a profit before getting taxed, and with this Democrat economy, that ain't gonna happen.
Come to think of it, I wonder how much those highly optimistic bean-counters of theirs thought they were gonna pull in from that tax?
Yes, a lot of these taxes went into effect a few years ago. But not only does it bear repeating, keep in mind that as part of any budget plan, 0bama wants still ANOTHER $1 TRILLION in “new revenue.”
He has no idea what he’s doing. But his handlers do...
(Anyone who votes for a democrat in the next election - well, other than the ‘takers’ is a total fool.)
Well, since 40+% of “Americans” are already takers...and we have quite a few fools, I’m pretty concerned.....
Pelosi warned us “We have to pass it before Americans find out what’s in it.”
It is adding 5% to one insurance co’s dental and eye care policies as of this year alone.
These are usual separate policies offered as employee benefit packages and not directly part of CACA © (”Can’t Afford Care Act”)
This liberal elite abortion of a bill needs to go back to congress...If not democrats risk being voted out of office forever. (Come to think of it, that might be a 'good thing' - something even CNN could understand)
Citizens are waking up... it's going to be harder for dems to lie to them... well other than the most stupid and reliable of the dem supporters... who frankly would believe anything...
It's also going to be easier for us to point out dem lies... much easier.
someone jst told me abt 64.00 . looks like that one is legit.
didnt know it was dependent only.
to be more accurate, it’s the white woman’s/white gay man’s tax.
And sicko dems are doing their best to make more people dependent because that's how they buy their loyalty... then they look don't on the ones they've enslaved.
Really dems are not only liars who think they're smarter than anyone in the room, but they're also evil.
“You’re counting people on Social Security - and those people are NOT takers.”
46% of households do not pay income tax.
Why is this NEVER made explicitly clear?
There has never been a tax that wasn't eventually shouldered by individual and families earning berween $25,000 and $100,000.
Anyone who hasn't noticed this is hopelessly ignorant, unaware or both.
“Tanning tax is the ultimate “white man’s” tax. Not too many of Holder’s people using the tanning salon.”
In my area property taxes were almost exclusively “white” until those people fled or simply stopped buying houses (becuase they’d stopped having families). The latter is a big contributor to the collapse in the housing market from which both parties hope amnesty will deliver us.
