On Sunday WH Budget Director Peter Orszag said the administration is open to taxing your health benefits in order to socialize health care in America. What happened to the promise of no new taxes for anyone earning less than $250K per year?

    What happens to every promise that Dem. politicians make? That was an easy one.

    Dear Lonely Conservative,
    You have egregiously, erroneously, and feloniously twisted my campaign promise concerning taxation. What I said was: NO NEW TAXES FOR ANYONE EARNING LESS THAN $250.00 a year. Please check your “facts” before slandering me in the future.
    Sincerely,
    Barack O’ Teleprompter

    Punishing those who aren’t on the government dole to pay for those that are. That’s the Obama way.

    I’m a retired disabled combat vet. I currently work a full time job within my abilities and use the health insurance provided. I do not burden the government with my needs. This may have to change.

    If these taxes are implimented I will cancel my private health care and hit up Uncle Sugar for what I’m due. **How’s THAT for being entitiled?**

    By the way, “health care benefits” are paid for by employees.
    NO? There ARE co-pays (which go up on a steady basis) and the $$$ paid by the employer is taken away from the revenues that could go to salary.

    Sam, I sure wish more people thought as you do. I hope you never have to try to drag what you are truly entitled to from Uncle Sugar.

    I have a relative who lost the tip of her middle finger in a dump truck tailgate, she has bled the system for over thirty years, always has an excuse not to work for a living. I have never been able to figure out why people feel it is acceptable to live off another’s sweat.

    Angry, the bottom line is POWER not who really cares for the welfare of those who need some help.

    I was recently told: “I LOVE Obama, I’m poor and the more he kicks down to me the better.”
    This person is on SSI and lives in Sec 8 Housing.

    My 4 year old niece picked Obama in a recent mook election they held.

    Why? “He has big ears.”

    Yep, that’s as good a reason as any.

    Hey all! Unfortunately, they want us all on Uncle Sugar’s dole so they can control us. Exactly as Sam said….so they can retain their power. Too bad there are too many people who are too ignorant to see it.
