This Obama is beyond belief.
There isn’t anything he can’t Ruin.
This would mess up my entire life, which is built on rental and interest income not being taxable.
Zero can go to hell.
This is an extraordinarily stupid and destructive proposal.
Is there ANY way we can get this loser out of office before he does more damage? 2012 is a long way off at the rate this Bozo is pulling stink grenades out his bunghole.
Allow me to put this in simple terms. Medicare and Medicaid and all government health care and entitlement systems are completely and absoulutly BANKRUPT. They survive on borrowing from China and cost shifting claims to the private sector. Private insurance and retirement systems are solvent, even though they are being drained by the cost shift to the government fiascos. The socialist parasites are attempting to destroy the private system and replace it with a government system of higher taxes and rationing for all. I sure hope we can stop them.
The problem we have here...ain’t the lack of taxation...the right kind of tax....objects, entities or activities to tax...
its a mindset. The minds that created the problem ...are not capable of a solution....
It will be interesting to see how they intend to collect this, because right now it comes out of paychecks. Most of those new income sources don’t currently involve a withholding action, even though the mechanism exists.
Why is this a surprize to anyone ? This also applies to the decapitation tax which states are jumping on in the guise of protecting US from “global warming”. Its being set up to maintain bloated bureaucracies which states run by socialists refuse to reduce.
THEY WILL PUSH “RECONCILIATION” and pressure must be applied to house members warning them if they vote for it
VOTE NO
OR OUT YOU GO
If you oppose paying for the medical needs of all Medicare beneficiaries through taxation, you should support abolishing Medicare.
If you support paying other people's medical bills through taxation, then you should support raising taxes - a lot.
But you can't support trillions for other people's medical bills AND not paying for it. That's our policy now - and it's a disaster.
Maybe folks need to look at claiming the “Amish” exemption. I don’t know exactly what forms need to be filled out to get this exemption, but I’m sure someone is looking into this. A philosophic or religious exemption does not necessarily need to be based on membership to a specific church.
It’s certainly crazy to do this with investment income. How low do we want the market to go now. Under 0bamacare the IRS will have real time ability to snatch money out of a bank account or probably investment account, you might as well buy some precious metals and put it in a safe in an undisclosed location.
If the extra wealth of wealthy Americans were, as Obama seems to believe, simply stuffed into mattresses, increasing taxes on it would only mean a little less wealth for the wealthy and lumpier mattresses.
HOWEVER, the half the equation that Obama doesn't understand is that the money soon to be confiscated (under the principle of fairness) would actually immediately find its way back into the economy in ways that make it possible for ordinary Americans to borrow for housing, cars, consumables, borrow for college, etc.
Some of it would otherwise find its way to companies large and small that need it to grow employment, buy equipment, put products on the shelves, and, yes, even meet the payroll.
So if you are worried about your employment or fear that a slow down in the economy might hurt you in some other way...thank Obama's taxes on the wealthy!

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
Snip The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.
“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.
