Politicians have been lying since the dawn of the republic. Calling them out is an exercise in futility, roughly akin to handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.
But, every so often, a lie is so shamelessly brazen that it behooves us to bemoan it
---- snip---
But the GOP's new tax claim is in another league. So let's bridge the chasm between the lie and the truth:
Obama's supposedly sweeping tax — his penalty for noncompliance — will be levied on a grand total of 1.2 percent of the American people.

All horse shi!. Nobody knows how this will work out but the fact remains that Government does not have the right or authority to penalize or tax on something it may not want.

(It’s weird that your post didn’t come up as a link.)
Anyway, this story is from one of the most reliable Democrat propaganda organs in the nation. It’s very existence is predicated on lying for its party. It’s a minor miracle the Stinky hasn’t folded yet.
Bad arithmetic.
Obama said himself that 30 million Americans will not be covered by his plan.
If there are 310 million Americans, that means 9.7% of Americans will not be covered.
We’ll be spending $1 trillion to give free healthcare to illegals. We’ll be getting a lot more illegals.
Churches are penalized the same way for speaking of politics and they’re only penalized for speaking favorably toward the GOP.
We can’t support the whole world. This new law can promise us what Ben Franklin said “The only things that will last forever are death and taxes.
Lets not forget that this isn’t the first tax to be imposed to pay for health care under Obama. In 09 a 2300% increase in the tax on loose tobacco was imposed to pay for children’s health care.
No folks, we can’t let the left get away with this. They want it both ways.
Obama TOLD US that these were the folks that were breaking down the medical care system in the US. He said there were millions and millions of them. If only we could get them to buy health insurance the budgets would be balanced.
Now the spin is there really aren’t that many of them and it’s no big deal.
Huh?
Obama’s LIES were used to promote this takeover, and now they’re being used to justify it. Call them out on it every chance we get.
Right, the tax is hardly going to impact anyone at all.
I guess that’s why the Zombie Administration wants to add 50,000 new IRS agents.
The worst lie ever told by Republicans pales in significance when compared to what Democrats do as a matter of routine. This bit of tripe demonstrates that. ...To reduce things to the lowest common denominator, a tax is any money taken from “the people” for the sake of funding government, or redistributing wealth. How the money gets confiscated matters little to the empty pocket.
As usual, a lib writer picks and chooses his facts and then spins for the damocrats.
The AMT was meant to tax 20-30 millionaires. Sooner, than later, the ZerOcare tax penalty will catch the majority.
SCOTUS said it was a tax. What's the matter, Philly Inquirer? Don't believe them?
1.2%? That's over 3 million people. Weren't liberals in a tizzy about that many people being homeless? Of course, that's only during a Repub administration....
But still, I believe it will affect a lot more than 1.2%, especially middle class people who really cannot afford to purchase anymore health insurance than what they have (or will lose when their employer drops any and all contributions to said insurance!).
I think the Inquirer is typically liberal: accusing others of exactly what they are doing.
I quit reading that liberal rag over 40 years ago
My other brother continually bitches about the damn paper but I could never get him to quit buying it
Ditto. And if the tax only afffects 1.2% of the population, why again all the thousands of new agents??
