List of Obamacare Taxes Repealed

The American Health Care Act (HR 1628) passed by the House today reduces taxes on the American people by over $1 trillion. The bill abolishes the following taxes imposed by Obama and the Democrat party in 2010 as part of Obamacare:

-Abolishes the Obamacare Individual Mandate Tax which hits 8 million Americans each year.

-Abolishes the Obamacare Employer Mandate Tax. Together with repeal of the Individual Mandate Tax repeal this is a $270 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes Obamacare’s Medicine Cabinet Tax which hits 20 million Americans with Health Savings Accounts and 30 million Americans with Flexible Spending Accounts. This is a $6 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes Obamacare’s Flexible Spending Account tax on 30 million Americans. This is a $20 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes Obamacare’s Chronic Care Tax on 10 million Americans with high out of pocket medical expenses. This is a $126 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes Obamacare’s HSA withdrawal tax. This is a $100 million tax cut.

-Abolishes Obamacare’s 10% excise tax on small businesses with indoor tanning services. This is a $600 million tax cut.

-Abolishes the Obamacare health insurance tax. This is a $145 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes the Obamacare 3.8% surtax on investment income. This is a $172 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes the Obamacare medical device tax. This is a $20 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes the Obamacare tax on prescription medicine. This is a $28 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes the Obamacare tax on retiree prescription drug coverage. This is a $2 billion tax cut.

As a presidential candidate in 2008, Barack Obama had promised repeatedly that he would not raise any tax on any American earning less than $250,000 per year. He broke the promise when he signed Obamacare. With the passage of the House GOP bill, tens of millions of middle income Americans will get tax relief from Obamacare's long list of tax hikes.

Krauthammer: Single-Payer within 7 Years

Yes, he's an Establishment neo-con.

But he is not wrong.  Particularly, this: I would predict that in less than seven years, we'll be in a single-payer system,"  Krauthammer said, pointing out that Republicans aren't even arguing for a free market system anymore.

We still have Socialized medicine, those who mean to be Masters are simply trying to change the name and a few details.  We are still mandated to buy insurance, or face .gov-mandated 'penalties'.  

A clean 'Repeal' would have dropped .Gov out of healthcare entirely.  But it is not in the nature of governments to surrender power once they have it.  And they now have proven that everyone in Washington wants to control you through your health, regardless of which political label they choose for themselves.  They have been bought by the insurance industry, among others.

Since Fox (or their upstream) still has me on double-secret probation, here's the link.  You'll probably have to copy/paste.

House Passes ObamaCare 'Repeal'

Banner: I love HuffPo.  They produce some of the best comedy online.  

But they, and the Leftists, are correct to call the new bill 'TrumpCare' (versus a 'repeal') - because he now owns it.  No matter what, there will be unwinding issues that carry into the next 2 election cycles.  You can count on the Rs losing the House in 2018.  Not that it matters any longer - Hell, Paul Ryan could switch parties and do just as well for the Ds as he is doing right now.

But the 'replace' remains Socialized Medicine.

Badness.

Now we'll see if the Senate deliberately monkey-wrenches it...

A message from Boston Antifa for Patriots

Here's their FB.

TrumpCare

Socialized medicine is socialized medicine.

Evil is Evil.

The healthcare 'repeal' is a farce - we are only swapping authors of the socialized medicine Evil.

Trade the individual and employer mandates for continuous coverage requirements

The GOP's bill would get rid of the Obamacare requirement that people have health coverage or face a tax penalty. It would also eliminate the mandate that employers with at least 50 employees provide health insurance to their workers.

Under Obamacare, these companies had to provide affordable insurance to staffers who work more than 30 hours a week. They would face a penalty if they did not meet this criteria and their employee sought subsidies on the exchanges.

Instead, the Republican plan seeks to allow insurers to impose a 30% surcharge on the premiums of those who let their coverage lapse for at least 63 days. The plan would enable insurers to levy this surcharge for one year...

CNN: Losing their minds over Fake News tag

As we saw at the White House Correspondents Dinner, the taunt of 'Fake News' is really under the skin of the 'professionals'.

President 'Very Happy' with CR Deal

No chance of a veto.

Here's the link.

There is no excuse...

...no justification, for President Trump to sign the funding bill.

He should refuse to sign until his campaign promises are covered.

He is being obstructed by the Establishment, to be certain.  But worse, he is refusing to fight them...

Here's the piece.

And on ObamaCare - the reason they can't get it repealed is because the 'replace' aspect blows dead bear.

President Trump should demand a simple up/down vote on repeal.  And any R voting against should be targeted by the RNC for defeat.  Here.

LEO Guns Down Another Unarmed Kid in Texas

Most people do not have the proper temperament to serve as peace officers.

A man who pumps rifle rounds into a car full of teenagers leaving a party is one such example.  'Law & Order' they will scream from places like Daffy's Bunker.

LEO need to be grown-ups who are not frightened of their shadows and teen aged boys.

**UPDATE**  Portland seems to be the hotspot - here.

Keep your wits about you if you must be out and about today.

From Portland to NYC the Pig Farmers of America will be throwing their tantrums, and this year they are feeling emboldened.

Here's a generic piece from USA Today.

One pattern for which to look tomorrow - in AOs where the Lefties use masks, see if they are more violent than the AOs where masks are prohibited.  Finding that answer will help flesh-out what we saw on 15 April.

Stay safe.

Pikeville: Not much to report...

This Antifa beauty came to Pikeville from DC.

**UPDATE**  Nothing happened.  Imagine that...

A good number of Threepers on the ground, most of whom have chosen to maintain a defensive posture for the town, versus taking sides.

Once the Antifa fcuks and the Nazi fcuks get into close proximity, they should all be set afire.

Cultural Marxism was the invasion force - now we are doomed to the follow-on...

Of course, you probably think I am crazy. You think communism went away in 1991. You think that communism no longer exists. But then you will have to explain how we got here – with communist thugs using open intimidation on the streets of our cities! If communism lost the Cold War, why does it presently hold such power in government agencies, universities and newspapers? Why do you think U.S. counterintelligence is spying on the President of the United States and his staff? Who wants to bring him down? You need to explain all the variable phenomena of today: from the communist-inspired economic sabotage of global warming "science" to the insistence that our border remain a sieve. It is only our enemies who stand to gain from these policies.

...and...

So where did all the communists go? Did they simply revert to Christianity? Did they become Scientologists? Stop and think for a moment. You control half the planet and you’ve been fooling people in every country for decades. And what do you do for an encore? You fall off the edge of the flat earth! Well, I guess they topped themselves after all. And then, twenty-five years later, suddenly, you discover they have taken over your child’s mind and sent him into the street to beat up an old displaced factory worker wearing a hat which says, “Make America Great Again.” You have the CIA and FBI spying on the President of the United States to the advantage of change agents. And Congress is dragging its feet on Trump’s cabinet nominees because they’ve been honey-trapped by the Satanic Pedophile communist zombie apocalypse. It is real Satanism, real pedophilia, real undead communists, and a real apocalypse.

...and...

So they don’t believe in Marxism-Leninism anymore? So why do we have socialized medicine? And why does Vladimir Lenin, who died in 1924, lie calmly with his eyes closed in his mausoleum on Red Square – not buried in a grave with a stone marker? No doubt, he is kept on display in Moscow because “nobody there believes in him anymore”! It’s a funny kind of not-believing in someone, don’t you think?

Here we go: North Korea Fires Ballistic Missile

**UPDATE**  North Korea is giving the US, PRC and UN the finger with missile launch.  Here's the piece.  It is not inaccurate.  The President has postured, moved assets, and made a big deal of it.  Un thinks the President is bluffing.  You can't bluff at this level - if you do, you lose.  If the President does not militarily hit NK (which could include an assassination of Un), his credibility is done.  

He painted himself into this corner.  Perhaps he did it intentionally, perhaps not.  Either way, if he chooses to fall back on 'diplomacy' and 'sanctions' at this point, he writes the death warrants for all US servicemen on the South Korea side of the line.
