POTUS Humanizes Healthcare Debate

So he would have us to believe – to talk about provisions of the new law that will take effect on Thursday, six months after it became law, and highlight his argument that healthcare reform will help control the U.S. budget deficit.

Yes, but not about the provisions we couldn’t know about until the unread bill was voted then signed into law.

Such as the funded abortions (by us) to be performed in other countries? How about the 1099 forms businesses have to file for every single purchase between them and other businesses? There has to be more in there we have yet to hear about.

Right? How is the (yet to be hired) 16,000 IRS new hires (to enforce the healthcare payments by individuals) going to control the budget deficit?

YAT – Yet Another Tax


President Obama’s finance team and Nancy Pelosi are recommendinga 1% transaction tax on all financial transactions.
His plan is to sneak it in after the November election to keep it under the radar.
See what Nancy has to say about this wonderful idea! (She also says it will be global.)

It’s only 1%!This is a 1% tax on all transactions to or from any financial institution i.e. Banks, Credit Unions,Mutual funds, Brokers, etc.
Any (and every?) deposit you make will have a 1% tax charged.
Any transfer within your account, a transfer to or from savings and checking, will have a 1% tax charged. Any ATM transaction, withdrawal or deposit, 1% tax.
If your pay check or your Social Security is direct deposited, 1% tax. If you carry a check to your bank to deposit, 1% tax. If you take cash in to deposit, 1% tax. If you receive any income from a bond or a dividend from stock, 1% tax. Any Real Estate Transaction, 1% tax.

This is from the man who promised that if you make under $250,000 per year,you will not see one penny of new tax! Remember, he is completely honest and trustworthy.

Keep your eyes and ears open.

UPDATE: Connecticut Health Insurers Rate Hike

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connecticut requested a wide range of premium increases, which will take effect Oct. 1, to cover the costs of new benefits required by federal health reform. Anywhere from 0.5 percent to 22.9 percent, depending on the plan. Besides Anthem, the only other health insurer that has been approved thus far was Aetna, which requested an average 24.7 percent increase over last year for small-group HMO plans.

More

Remember folks, the Bush tax cuts have not been voted on yet (this year). If those cuts expire, our take home pay gets smaller. Soon.

UPDATE: As predicted. But, it’s even worse. Looks like the increases span from 19% to 47% !!!!

Why?

Just answer why we have to give our tax money to tell folks in another country how to clean up after themselves?

And yet, I feel violated.

Crazy.

Another Response To A Constituent

Hello, REDACTED

I don’t do form letters.

Bottom line for me is that this legislation should be totally repealed.

It asks, and sets up, way too much for every one of us, even if we do have health coverage through our employer.

I am quite sure you remember this all started over 47 million people estimated to not have any such coverage.

Then, after a lot of squabble over this including illegal aliens, that number dropped to 30 million.

But Congress decided, in their back rooms, to develop a 2,700+ page bill that would change everything for the entire country.

Just because of 10 percent of our population “needing” coverage.

Never mind the fact that, buried in that bill, was a tyrannical approach demanding that we (if we didn’t/don’t have coverage) would have to pay a fine and or serve jail time if we fail to purchase a product the federal government says we absolutely must have.

This the first time in the history of our country that the federal government placed such a demand on its entire population.

I don’t know about you, but I do not serve a King in this United States. And I will not.

Speaker Pelosi insulted our intelligence by telling us we had to pass the bill to find out what is in it.

This is not how Congress is supposed to do business.

And that – is why I am in this race. To replace a Democrat rubber stamp that serves no purpose other than to bend the will of The People to her (their) way of thinking.

I won’t stand for it any longer. I am through complaining to the television and radio.

Thank you for asking.

Sincerely,

Daniel McAndrew
