Obama tax hikes

These are the best news items to use, the first 5 for Seniors, the bottom for business. I’ve copied and pasted the titles and urls and print them out and hand them out. For Seniors with no computer access, I just give them a copy of the first article, it is a very good explanation on how obamacare will gut their Medicare. Every Senior Citizen should read this article. And tell them if their congresscritter is a dem then they can thank them for gifting then with it.
email, print out, hand out, not every one is online or informed. First 5 are aimed at Seniors, bottom at business.

Wow, thanks for all the links! I have always said that medical plan looks like a bad board game. I LOVE the pictures of the minutemen!!!
On top of everything that concerned me with this administration, the medical plan clinched it for me.
Thanks for all the links, sending this thread to everyone on my email list.
Let me get this straight. We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke; administrated by people who want to emulate the worst aspects of socialized medicine programs in other countries (e.g. rationing and death panels)

The top capital gains tax rate is scheduled to soar by nearly 60%, counting the application of Obamacare’s new 3.8% tax on investment income. The tax rate on dividends is scheduled to nearly triple, from 15% to 43.4%, counting the new Obamacare tax as well. The Obamacare legislation also increased the Medicare HI payroll tax rate by 62% for the nation’s employers and investors. On our current course, the death tax will rise from the grave next year with a 55% top rate.
