Bill,

Below is one of the many Lulus that I spotted within your first link.

"The Obamacare Medical Device Tax begins to be assessed on January 1, 2013. Medical device manufacturers employ 409,000 people in 12,000 plants across the country. This law imposes a new 2.3% excise tax on gross sales – even if the company does not earn a profit in a given year. Exempts items retailing for <$100."

Since I know of a very hard working enthusiastic young engineer in that high precision medical device manufacturing field ... that tax does not make the best sense ... especially if the manufacturer is experiencing a marginal profit year. From experience & observation, most gross receipt "gotchas" need better consideration.

Like I said before ... since I have been one of the few car wash owners who has volunteered to pay health coverage of his full time help for over 15 years & saw it go up by around 20% for 2012 ... we need to find a better solution than what is happening right now!

I saw the movie 2016 about Obama and it really sheds light on his actions.My recent travels last month out of the country I was surprised by the foreign news papers concerned about the US debt and predictions as to how long before the US economy really takes a major dive.

Bill & others,

The movie did show items that we should all be concerned about ... it certainly was worth watching to help offset some of the intrinsically evil beliefs presented by the other side.

Several of my mother's aunts & uncles & many first cousins were stuck behind in the iron curtain for many decades. I grew up in a family of four where we were shown the dangers of the Bolshevism philosophy. The American public needs to not be lulled into that type of false promise.

One of those distant cousins visited a few years ago here in the USA. Communicating with him was very revealing since he had experienced being governed under both philosophies. He was very passionate about the gains that Pope John Paul II & President Reagon were instrumental in making.

Part of the problem with our economy is a whole bunch of little things that add up to some really big things! As many people as possible here in the USA & abroad need to get their consciences properly formed through the best possible information.

There is also going to be a tax on the sale of homes starting next year. I seem to recall it being around 3% to pay for Obamacare. Yes a sales tax on all momes sold. I have also heard that there is going to be a 1% tax on all bank deposits, but I can't confirm that.

The 1% was attempted by a Dem idiot that not even his buddies have gone along with, him yet. The 3.8% is called a medicare tax, and it applies to all capital gain sales, but there is still confusion as to how you calculate it.
