Obamacare Mandate - a tax on the middle class
Quote:“According to the IRS, some 6.7 million American families pay Obamacare’s individual mandate surtax, forking over $3 billion annually to Uncle Sam merely for exercising their right not to purchase an unaffordable Obamacare plan,” Ellis wrote.

“It turns out most of these taxpayers are solidly in the middle class. The great majority of them (80 percent) actually make less than $50,000 per year. This is perhaps the most regressive tax we have on the books today.”

Around 5.3 million Americans who earn under $50,000 annually were forced to pay the mandate penalty, which averaged about $340 per person.

That $340 average sounds pretty damn low considering I payed an almost $1400 penalty last year.https://conservativetribune.com/obamacar...mpaign=can

Remember when the SCOTUS Chief Justice Roberts ruled Obamacare mandate was legal because he ruled it a tax? Well, that is why getting rid of the Obamacare mandate can be accomplished in a tax bill.

how 'bout that....

let's take it a shiteload of steps backwards how it's taxation w/o the resources for full representation (it's a spin board, eh?)

in this instance, people living too long or making unnecessary visits (b/c it's subsidized) becomes a burden on the economy when pricing/taxation gets out of control.....

we simply ALL cannot have what everyone else haves......if capitalism is going to survive moving forward, SOME people are going to suffer.......that's better than SUM....and maintaining the USD is the driving force that will decide the outcome

ZEROcare was/is not best method....
