The Senate Finance Committee is weighing a "millionaires' tax," a surcharge on health benefits for top earners and a Medicare tax on capital-gains income. And still on the table is Obama's proposal to limit deductions for wealthy taxpayers.
SO AVERAGE WAGE EARNERS WHO HAPPEN TO OWN A FEW STOCKS THAT ARE ACTUALLY WORTH SOMETHING WILL BE TAXED ON THOSE SMALL EARNINGS. IN THE EVENT THE BRAINWASHED MASSES BUY INTO BUYING GM AT AN IPO WOULD BE TAKED ON ANY CAP GAINS THERE TO IN ESSENCE PAYING A TAX ON THE MONEY THEY ALREADY GAVE IN THE BAIL OUTS. Beware the option still on the table to tax the “wealthiest” on their employer provided health benefits. Don’t forget how the definition of wealthy keeps changing in the Nobama admin
Savings in Medicare and Medicaid. Our seniors paid into Medicare that belongs to them. They are covered. Don’t know much about Medicaid but seems to me those people are already covered in some manner also. How about streamlinging those programs, detect and prosecute fraud in the system and save millions there. No coverage for illegals. Well now we are down to some 15-20 million uncovered folks. Many of those choose NOT to buy insurance. States already have programs. What is the problem? No need to duplicate with Fed $$. At most a co-op type program has been suggested which could be offered to uninsured at low cost. No matter what these freaks come up with I want to make sure they are part of the plan. Many of the proposed so called Co Op plans are just cover ups for a federal plan calling for a governing board set up by the fed and funded by the fed that would everntually be run by participants. Yeah right, we all know when the damn Fed gets into something it never gets out, I.E. Amtrak. In fact Sleazy Schemer has said we must have something to keep things honest. HAHAHA Honest and the fed no gonna happen.
No more Platinum plans for them that we pay for. They are no better than you and me.
