OKAY The “Affordable” Care Act.
But Hey, the IRS has already shut down my Health Savings Account’s ability to purchase Over-The-Counter Meds, Part of Obama’s promise that if I liked my plan, I could keep it, So why the delay in implementing the real-estate sales tax?
I am sure that some of you will deny the existence of it, so here you go, TWO sources

Would the ******** being in late 2012 have ANYTHING to do with it?.
For Zombie and Other zombies: The fact that the tax is ONLY on the wealthy and their evil profit is irrelevant.
Or maybe it is more telling than we think?

With the top 3% controlling more than half of our nation’s capital, why don’t we stop our congressman from being bribed by the super rich.
If we don’t end this, we are headed for a fascist state where the super rich conspire with the government to control the masses. (fascism)
We need to do this soon because it won’t be long before the plebeians start revolting.
Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against people from WORKING to get rich. Americans have every right to BECOME rich.
I just think it’s wrong for the great grandchildren to sit by the pool and sip martinis and collect dividends that are taxed at only 15%. They contribute nothing to improving our country.

29%?
(35% in the US)
What about the same capital gains tax rate as the Netherlands, 0%?
(35% long term in the US)
What about the same corporate tax rate as Ireland, 12.5%?
(35% in the US)
What about the same inheritance and estate tax rate as Switzerland, 0%?
(35% top rate in the US)
The US likes the number 35.

Isn’t that double taxation? I think it is horrible that the government should get part of what we earned, paid for and paid taxes on in our lifetime.
We have a business and ALL of the worth is in the equipment. Without the equipment we would not have a business. Are our children going to have to sell the equipment needed to run the business because it has worth? If they have to do that, how are they going to run the business, which is worthless without the equipment?
I don’t get that *Forget Wars*. What about the lost jobs if they should have to close the business? How can less than 1% who are affected have such a huge impact on an entire generation? I’m not sure how much tax revenue it generates, but I would think that it would generate more tax revenue if it was able to continue. Canada doesn’t have one, and many other countries don’t either.
There’s estate insurance? I did not know that.
