    Yes I am glad Medicare tax is up by a whopping .09%, from the current 1.45% to fund my Medicare

    And I am glad my SS tax has returned to 6.2% which is the same as my employer pays, to keep Social Security solvent.

    Since I earn less than $400,000 my income tax wont go up. I dont have a $5 million estate or investment income subject to capital gains which is now 20%. I dont make even $250,000 so if I sell my house I dont pay 3.8% Medicare tax.

    Yes I'm so glad taxes are going up because hard working Americans like myself weren't being crushed enough by heavy taxes. Now we can support more lazy bums who take from the government but don't work! Yayyyy!

    "Liberals" are happy - as long at it's someone else's taxes going up.

    Mine haven't gone up. I get SS & Medicare, and have no other income, so y'all be supporting me. Thank you very much!

    And yes, BarryCare (which should rightfully be called PelosiCare) is going to result in a sh!tload of new taxes, most of them disguised & not called taxes at all. But, taxes they will be.

    I really couldn't care less to be quite honest. It only really affects me if I allow it to affect me by the way I think. It's all about perspective, bra. Be happy and the things around you will reflect the way you feel.

    "Happy" is the wrong word, but I would prefer the government be getting less into deficit rather than more into deficit.

    I dont think anyone cares about taxes. They're just happy our president is black

    Yes, I'm happy that everyone will have health care and I won't have to be paying that extra $2000 a year on my health insurance to pay for people using the ER for a cold.

    Thanks for asking.
