They are sneaking in a Medicare tax on income

[Sarge]

Reid talking about ramming the heath bill through. Get a load of this one.

"A Medicare tax would now be applied to investment income too: Individuals who earn more than $200,000 and couples over $250,000 would pay an additional 2.9% surtax on unearned income from interest, dividends, annuities, royalties and rents."

That will be over and above payroll tax deductions. Reid saying he is going to do it without Senate agreement.

[Sarge]

Senate saying nope.

Changing by the minutes.

At the rate they are taxing people making over 250k a year, they will be owing over 100% of their income soon. 2% here 3% there, and soon you end up with 150%. Oh, you made 250,000? You owe us 375,000.

[Sarge]

Right you are. Small business is getting ready to get hit with huge unemployment tax increases. Throw on sales tax increases and more tax increases and I am not sure how many are going to survive.

simply deexist as an American citizen but still live here. These bills are blatently unconstitutional and guess what, its a tax that will never be used for healtcare but to plug budget holes. Healthcare is simply a way to get about half the idiotic populaton to vote for it. In five years when benefits are supposed to arrive there will be no money for it. Its all a scam, like cap and tax.

Prison, become homeless, get permanently lost in the woods or get rich/powerful enough so that the rules don't apply to you.

Get a group big enough and willing enough to stand apart in as covert manner as possible, and then be willing to fight for it; if this country's history has taught us anything, its that anyone who wants to stand apart gets blown apart.
