Americans for Tax Reform has culled the 1990-page Pelosi health-care overhaul bill to find the taxes that will supposedly collect over $540 billion in revenue over 10 years. It’s quite an impressive list of new burdens on Americans and their health-care providers and producers — but that’s redundant. After all, who do you think will end up paying for the medical-device taxes? It won’t be insurers or doctors:
•Employer Mandate Excise Tax (Page 275): If an employer does not pay 72.5 percent of a single employee’s health premium (65 percent of a family employee), the employer must pay an excise tax equal to 8 percent of average wages. Small employers (measured by payroll size) have smaller payroll tax rates of 0 percent (<$500,000), 2 percent ($500,000-$585,000), 4 percent ($585,000-$670,000), and 6 percent ($670,000-$750,000).
•Individual Mandate Surtax (Page 296): If an individual fails to obtain qualifying coverage, he must pay an income surtax equal to the lesser of 2.5 percent of modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) or the average premium. MAGI adds back in the foreign earned income exclusion and municipal bond interest.

NOTE- So we have a mentally retarded house speaker with a 34% approval rating in liberal California, who is the most despised political figure in America, who has a 9% all-time low approval rating in her congress, who is incompetent, a compulsive liar and one of the sneakiest, out of touch witches the hill has ever seen, writing the health care bill with Harry Reid in a locked office in the middle of the night. Hmmmm....What could possibly go wrong?!? It's why we call 'them' idiots..
UPDATE- Boehner on House Health Bill: '1,990 Pages of Bureaucracy'
Nazi PIGlosi is a female impersonation of a human being---she can kiss my ASStroturf---she softens the bluntness of her lies by confusing the issues and implying quibbling equivocations that have more then one sense, so as to seem to say one thing but intend another.
ReplyDeleteShe endessly misleads any of her inquisitors, by making unreliable statements of facts and insincere declarations. In all honesty was there ever an individual who held such a high position who generated so much revulsion towards them.
This vituperate WARLOCK and her condemnatory language stems from a personality of utter worthlessness on the human scale of values---she has an attitude of moral indignation towards the human condition---her pitiable inadequacy defines her wretchedness and sordiness for the fairness or straightfowardness of conduct.
Nature is not perfect---the very mechanisms that create the incrediable beauty and diversity in the living world guarantee monstrosity and death---the malformation of Nazi PIGlosi, deviating from the normal, is an excessively bad and shocking example of one of those monstrosities.
