Throughout his presidential campaign, then-candidate Barack Obama promised the American people: If youre a family thats making $250,000 a year or less, you will see no increase in your taxes. After he became President, Barack Obama reiterated that pledge, promising the American people in his September 9th health care press conference: The middle-class will realize greater security, not higher taxes. But Obamacare does contain tax hikes. Tons of them. From taxes on tanning beds to taxes on employment and investments, Obamacare is a certified job-killing machine.

So, all that noise about no tax hike for anyone earning under $200K was just that... noise.
Obama lied and America died.
FUBO!!
It’s more than a tax. It’s peonage.
Of course it’s a tax. The whole point is that it’s a tax.
D*mn, now that the White House has said it’s a tax, I don’t know whether it is or not.
Remember, the White House is the source of all lies.
There’s not an honest person there.
And they wonder why we don’t believe a DAMN THING that comes out of congress is going to be good for us.
They wonder why we completely distrust Democrats. Well golly, MAYBE BECAUSE OF CRAP LIKE THIS!!!!!!???? Ya think?
IIRC, the bill/law itself says it’s not a tax.
The bill lies.
I knew that when it was beging debated. That way it will pass the Supreme Court as the Constitution does give Congress the power to levy and collect taxes, just like the Social Security act was found to be legal as it is also a “Tax”.
If the media had questioned him during the campaign on his MANY “misspoken” statements we wouldn’t be in this mess now.
Remember, the White House is the source of all lies.
Theres not an honest person there.
In the movies the evil scientist will always finally tell you the whole truth when he has you tied up and hanging over a vat of molten lava.
This is like that.
Yes...I agree..FUBO! Lying Sack OS...
The tanning bed tax is clearly racist. Think about it!
The public needs to rise up and throw EVERY Democrat out of the House and Snate.
“That way it will pass the Supreme Court as the Constitution does give Congress the power to levy and collect taxes, just like the Social Security act was found to be legal as it is also a Tax.”
Not really. It should not pass Constitutional muster on at least two grounds: 1. It is a head tax — a tax on existing. 2. Not everyone is treated equally under the law.
People should have seen this when they put the IRS in charge. What is the purpose of the IRS? To collect taxes! That is their only reason for existence.
P E R F E C T !!!
Now the DNC can just keep moving the goal posts.
If you wondered how the ‘hope and change’ monkeyshines would shake out... NOW you know. That is, if you were too brain dead or gullible to figure it out months ago!!
The Media is 110% behind him. Idiots who pay for cable and sat TV support their serfdom. TV controls America and the idiots. Fox/Saudia is no better. Just smoke to fool the idiots who watch TV.
Obama Care ........a certified “Job killing machine”..........That socialist imbecile does not understand that you can not tax yourself in to prosperity.......take it to the bank that in time people will realize what kind of “Loon” we are dealing with, making Jimmy Carter look a genius......absolving him from the title of being one of the worst presidents.
There, FIXED!
So, if it is a tax, is it legal to exempt certain groups from paying that tax, like unions?
3. It is a taxation bill that originated in the SENATE!
This is unconstitutional!
Article 1, section 7: Section. 7. All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives.
Why is this not being discussed as the torpedo that kills the law, *if* the Regime is successful in convincing the SCOTUS that it is a tax?
The Oboma regime is calling it a tax in court as a legal defense. Otherwise, congress has no other authority to force this on us. If the bill itself claims it is not a tax, how can it stand?
Yeah that tanning bed tax is nothing but a “cracker” tax.
Yep. The racist policies coming out of the Oboma administration are unprecedented. His legacy will be that of the most racist, and most destructive president in American history.
When he was saying it over and over during the campaign, “not one dime!” I was screaming at McCain to CALL him on it. To look right into the camera, America’s eyes, and say “when have you ever seen a democrat not want to raise taxes? He is lying to you just to get elected”.
If the government takes my money, it’s a theft or a tax... or both.
Money taken without representation, through lies and/or corruption, is unconstitutional and therefore theft. Were I King, convictions of such offenses would result in a sure and swift penalty of death.~Criminal Enterprises can not survive..... if the participants are dead~
The only people that Obama fooled, are the very fools that voted that corrupt bastard into power. ~May they suffer greatly and may never be forgiven~
They did not need to admit anything other than two words: They LIED! =.=
He didn’t lie. He just didn’t know that it was a tax. Look, Obama is obviously stupid and doesn’t know what he is doing. If we have learned anything in the past 18 months it’s that he is totally clueless.
I’m doubting my memory at this point. Maybe I got it backwards.
“Why is this not being discussed as the torpedo that kills the law, *if* the Regime is successful in convincing the SCOTUS that it is a tax?”
The more bricks you throw at it, the more likely one is to connect — and it does not really matter which brick brings down the house of cards. Don’t think of finding a magic bb — think of finding a pack of wolves to bring down the bison.
“... he’s clueless...”
No, it’s worse than that. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and what effect it will have on U.S.
This is the intentional destruction of America, by a Marxist administration, brought to you by O and all his media minions.
