CHART - Huge Tax! (Graphics Don't lie !)
I came across two new lies, one built on the other.
The first is
"Obamacare is full 20 HUGE tax increases"
http://atr.org/...
the 2nd is from the Washington Post. It's an "Answer" to the 1st:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/...
It says in effect 'sure its HUGE, but its not the biggest tax increase ever in the world, look at the graphic!'
Obamcare was passed as a budget reconciliation.
It includes changes in biofuel tax, tanning salon tax and other adjustments. It closes loopholes or reduces tax deductions for uncovered out-of-pocket medical expense (Boob Jobs?) and 'flexible spending' accounts for school tuition, and they're including a change in capital gains tax in this list.
They're counting any tax / loophole change as "an Obamacare tax increase."
Even corporate tax. They're counting an insurance company - salary cap and profit cap, as a TAX.
This is a trap.
They're setting up the following talking point:
"See the 20 Obama care tax increases aren't the biggest ever in the history of the world, ITS ONLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST TAX INCREASES IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!
We're going to hear lots more about the Obamacare tax increases.
Others will hear that the supreme court says 'its a tax' and believe its 'another huge tax increase.'
You've been warned.
