GOPUSA - A tax by any other name still leaves a hole in the wallet. Call it a fee, a penalty, a surcharge, an “I’m going to play the race card” levy, or an “I’m worse than Jimmy Carter” payment; in any case, a tax is a tax is a tax. The problem is that Barack Obama promised not to raise taxes on most Americans, and now he’s doing it. He just won’t admit it.
When pressed in an interview that his health care mandate amounts to a tax on the American people, he did his usual teleprompterless umms and errs, and said the “fee” or “penalty” was anything but a tax. Guess what the actual health care bill calls it? Yep… it’s a tax.
We all know that Obama is quite capable of raising taxes on the American people. He wants to do it directly to those who already pay the vast majority of the taxes by raising upper income tax rates. He has already done it to all Americans with cap and trade proposals that will raise energy prices for all Americans. Yet, even though he can raise taxes on all Americans, he just can’t say the word. Well, unlike the first President Bush, we don’t need to read his lips…. we know what Obama is doing.
