I saw them both and both include lots of nonsense
you were speaking specifically about taxes in the health care legislation and I asked you to name some
define what you're talking about
Here are the coming Obama middle-income tax hikes from a thread you labeled "nonsense." Please go down the list and show me how each tax hike is "nonsense."
1. Bush tax cut expiration - Obama has stated that he wishes to extend the Bush tax cuts for those earning under $250,000 for one year. Read that again. That means that in the beginning of 2014, middle and lower-income individuals can expect to see their tax bills increase.
2. Payroll tax cut expiration - The payroll tax cuts for middle and lower-income individuals are set to expire in the beginning of 2013.
3. Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan Tax - Starting in 2018, there will be a 40% tax on comprehensive health insurance plans ($10,200 single/$27,500 family) thanks to Obamacare. This tax is expected to hit a lot of unionized blue collar workers. This is a $32 billion tax hike.
4. High Medical Bills Tax - Starting in 2013, the deduction for medical bills exceeding 7.5% of an individual's adjusted gross income will be cut: the threshold for medical deductions will be raised to 10% of adjusted gross income. This is a $15.2 billion tax hike on the sick.
5. Medicine Cabinet Tax - Americans are no longer able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin).
6. HSA Withdrawal Tax - Increases additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.
7. Special Needs Kids Tax - Beginning of 2013, imposes cap of $2500 (Indexed to inflation after 2013) on FSAs (now unlimited). . There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children. There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay for this type of special needs education.
