Ever since Chief Justice John Roberts decided that Obamacare was indeed a tax, Republicans have been
railing that the law amounts to a stupendously large tax increase.
It started with Rush Limbaugh. Shortly after the ruling, Limbaugh declared Obama’s 2010 Affordable
Care Act to be “the largest tax increase in the history of the world.”
(Of course we all know this is a typical lie from Druggy Rush)
So is it a tax increase??? That depends...
Individuals earning $200,000 or above and couples earning at least $250,000 will pay a 0.9% Medicare
surtax and a 3.8% surtax on investment income.
But...
If you’re just about anyone else,
the health-care law is likely to be a net plus. People who earn up to 133 percent of the poverty line will become eligible for Medicaid.
Families earning up to 400 percent of the poverty line—about $100,000—are eligible for subsidies for
insurance on state-run exchanges whose goal is to bring down the cost of care.
So... the El Druggo's lie... the largest tax increase in the history of the world???
NOPE! Just more Conservative Propaganda.
Clinton did raise taxes quite a bit in '93, and Daddy Bush (Read My Lips) raised them about the same amount
in '90.
But what is this???
Can this be??? Is this a misprint???
IS THIS POSSIBLE???
The largest tax INCREASE in the last 40 years, was by THE SUPREME GOD OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY...
THE GRAND POO PAH OF ALL CONSERVATIVES EVERYWHERE...
THE LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN THE LAST 40 YEARS WAS BY NONE OTHER THAN THE LORD AND LEADER
OF ALL REPUBLICANS
RONNY (THERE YA GO AGAIN) REAGAN IN 1982!!!
