Well sorry to disappoint you. But the New health care bill proposed by Sen. Reid yesterday does just that. And just like the House Health Care bill it also has a public option that will fine persons who do not buy into an acceptable plan. So not only do you get a tax increase you also get more Unconstitutional legislation.

But it’s also not the first time we have seen tax hikes since Obama took office. They have already announced that they will not be extending the Bush tax cuts. Love Bush or hate him, anyone will admit the Bush tax cuts saved people money and cut income taxes. So it does not take a math professor to realize that by ending the Bush Tax cuts you are naturally going to be raising taxes again..
Seems like common sense to me. You can’t have the Government push through a trillion dollar Health Care and Cap and Trade bills and expect the money fairy to pay for it. People either get taxed more somewhere or other programs are gutted to pay for it. In our case both are happening.
O and how’s that $175 dollar a year increase on your energy bill sound if the Cap and Trade bill passes? Sounds like more tax increases to me.
Will people hold the POTUS feet the fire on this one? Or will people continue to blindly give him a free pass?
