Have you seen Obama tax hikes?

Yes, I have seen them. What I haven't seen is Obama admit that he was lying when he said,

"I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."

The cigarette tax that immediately followed already proved him to be a liar, but was excused by many.

There is no excusing these increases which are obviously aimed at the middle and lower classes.

But, of course, he doesn't as much as apologize. Since he is fully aware of how this will affect the middle and especially, the lower classes, I can only assume that the only position he's changed is his previous willingness to feign caring about those people in particular. We now know he doesn't.

taking steps to increase government revenue is aka fiscal responsibility. Obama never pledged he would not raise a tax, that is Nordquist Republicans that did that, and fyi many of those voted for these.

#4 is a windfall profits tax. Since Bush made it illegal for the government to negotiate prices (?!) paid for drugs on the Medicare Part D, seniors are obligated to pay any price the "innovator" company cares to charge. This results in a huge windfall for the drug companies because previously seniors had been going to Canada to get prescriptions filled because Canada does negotiate a fair price. And since Bush also failed to fund the cost of Part D, this tax is a quid pro quo to recapture those unreasonable gains and use the proceeds to reimburse Medicare.

#12 have you seen those endless adverts on TV for devices with the catch line "we will bill Medicare for you". The problem is they are over sold, some seniors opting to get 2 or 3 of the same devices since they are "free". The tax is to help Medicare rein in an industry that is making astronomical profits off of Medicare senior for no medical necessary benefit. When Medicare goes broke, then seniors no longer get anything free.

#6. the leading cause of lung cancer is cigarettes, so an excise tax is impose to discourage their use. the leading cause of skin cancer is tanning. so this is an excise tax on to discourage its use. and by the way people of other races do get melanoma, which can be fatal.

#9. don't tell me you don't know what a W2 is, go look at yours and see what an idiot you are.

#14. it does in no way limit spending. the cap just puts a limit on how much pre-tax money can go into a medical spending account. if you spend more, then you get a deduction on your taxes. so this is revenue neutral, neither a tax or a loophole

#15. because seniors are now covered under Medicare part D. The senior gets the tax credit not the employer. not too many seniors over 65 on Medicare are on employer paid health plans anyway.

You missed a whole lot of other tax revenues collected under Obama. For example, the fees charged to Fox News to exclusively own television stations increased. actually not just Fox, but all broadcasters Radio and Television. Obama put an import duty on tires made in China to save American jobs, shameful.

Yes

its horrific and that's why Obama has to be booted out of the white house.

Steve O ain't upset,

because he does not pay any income taxes...

Yes

Thanks for Sharing.

The increase in taxes and cost is hurting me.

Emlpoyers being afraid to hire is hurting my kids.

When you get the time please research how much the cost is, and will be, over the next 50+ years to care for those American troops that will spend the rest of their lives disabled for lies, in Afghanistan & Iraq.

Now if we can get him to cut spending to go along with it, we can reduce the debt for future generations.

Its easy to pick apart any bill with things you don't like, but overall it is a good thing for the citizens of this country as a whole. One of the few bills that helps everyone.

Yep, saw it, as well as the other items in the program.

Have you seen Mutt's?

Nice ! Thanks for sharing.
