Seems to me that Roberts was right about one thing - Obamacare is a tax. But then he modified the words - and said as I recall - that it wasn’t the job of the SCOTUS to reject laws approved by the people. HUH? And then for this ruling they ignored the actual very specific words and inferred “context”. I’m no legal scholar but I thought they were supposed to approve or disapprove laws based on whether or not they - AS WRITTEN - adhere to the Constitution. Isn’t that what they swore an oath for?
As for the tax part - and probably why the rats plus the GOPe have no intention of demolishing the har de harr harr “Affordable Care Act” here is something I was sent this a.m.
Reminder for those who forgot or for many that didn’t know Here is what happened on January 1, 2015 :
• Top Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35%
• Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%
• Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%
• Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28%
• Dividends tax went from 15% to 39.6%
• Estate tax went from 0% to 55%
Remember this fact:
These taxes were all passed under the Affordable
Care Act, aka Obamacare.
If you think that it is important that everyone in the U.S. should know this, pass it on.
It’s not. Sorry, but no one cares.
I think the public has become too stupid to understand the significance.
Citation please. I believe these tax increases were actually done in 2013 through the Taxpayer Relief act (funny how congress names things all rosy when they are about to bend the citizenry over).
Good points !
