REVEALED: What the IRS form for Obamacare might look like (click on link to see it)
OK, this is not an actual IRS document: It’s a mock-up of one by Americans for Tax Reform. But it incorporates requirements from Obamacare in the kind of form you can expect if President Obama is re-elected and Obamacare is fully implemented. Bottom line: Your 1040EZ form is getting longer and less EZ.
Yet another reason we should move Tax Day to the day before Election Day.

You know, it’s really hard to defend the indefensible. It’s tough when your whole ideology is built on lies. When selfishness and greed are paramount in your life, it becomes impossible to face life when you fall from grace and lose your job and find yourself on the outside looking in. When you champion the unvarnished greed of the corporate class, you can’t help but be disappointed in the end. For you see, they don’t really care about you, it’s all about the money.

“Romney supports a plan that would reduce federal Medicaid funding for states by 38 percent. Arizona and Rhode Island, like other states that have reformed Medicaid with federal approval, did so by tapping funding above what Romney’s proposal would allow. Romney’s Medicaid proposal could even jeopardize the health care reform law he enacted as governor of Massachusetts in 2006, which is partially financed by federal Medicaid dollars.”

“wo-thirds of nursing home patients are covered by Medicaid, some six million Americans. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan both have plans that will slash that coverage. Romney has largely avoided providing specifics for what he’d cut, but his balanced budget proposal, including his tax cuts for the wealthy, would mean that programs like Medicaid would have to be cut drastically: 29 percent in 2016 and 59 percent in 2022. It basically means that Romney’s Medicaid cuts would be deeper than Ryan’s.
Ryan’s plan has been all spelled out: $800 billion in cuts to Medicaid in the next decade. That’s a one-third cut in projected spending. By 2050 it would be cut in half. He’d block grant what was left of the money to the states, forcing them to decide where to put their scarce resources: taking care of poor children or taking care of the sickest elderly. Now we’re talking death panels, created by the GOP’s social Darwinism.”

People like Barry, regardless of political affiliation, are unable to calm down. They are faux alphas and when not looking at a person face to face, they get this sense of being a man as they type away anonymously. Bet his little bird chest gets all inflated when he is on this or any blog.

mike, you can’t take it with you, but you can leave your family better off, than you were starting out, which is a noble goal. If everyone quit living for today and started putting something away to help their children and grandchildren, we would be better off as a society. Plus, it belongs to me, I should decide, who gets it.
We were better able to do that, until we decided it was OK, for the government to take from some and give to others. Do you support the government taking money from my pocket, without my permission, and using this money to support another person. Legalized robbery, without the gun and mask.

No, they are the people who are or were valuable to their employer or are valuable to their employees. The people who decided to take the rough road and stay in school, study, learn, develop skills, gain employment and do right by their employer. They earn or earned their money and invested it wisely, they give to charity, give to government, and try and help those who help themselves. They prefer that their charitable contributions, were not skimmed off by ineffective and inefficient government. In other words, the opposite of an Obama voter.

And, then, their jobs were outsourced to China.
And, then, they lost their jobs because of the housing bubble.
And, then, they lost their jobs because they got old (over 50).
And, then, they lost their jobs because they got sick.
And, then, they wondered why they were ever Republicans in the first place. Why they ever had loyalty to a party that kicks them when they’re down. That despises them in their adversity.

The Brookings Institution has spent a great deal of effort studying this issue.
And presidential candidate Rick Santorum has been quoting their findings on the campaign trail.
Brookings whittled down a lot of analysis into three simple rules. You can avoid poverty by:
1. Graduating from high school.
2. Waiting to get married until after 21 and do not have children till after being married.
3. Having a full-time job.
If you do all those three things, your chance of falling into poverty is just 2 percent. Meanwhile, you’ll have a 74 percent chance of being in the middle class.

Somehow, I think Rafe is beyond salvation. He’s one of those folks who equates Obama with the small percentage of people in society who really are moochers (yes, I’ll admit there are some, but they’re not all poor). Now, the fact that Obama got a good education and has a solid family doesn’t matter to him. The fact that business has done great under Obama (Dow up over 60% under Obama vs. down over 25% under GWB) doesn’t matter. The fact that the moochers in society are out-numbered by those who want to work doesn’t matter. In the words of that great American, Stephen Colbert, Rafe has felt the “truthiness” of his gut feelings about things. There are a ton of Rafes in Georgia, Alabama and the panhandle of Florida. Luckily, other citizens of other states don’t feel that way.

Randy, no one opposes helping those in need. Obama’s policies encourage neediness. Look at the rise in disability claims. He has weakened disability requirements in order to hold down unemployment, i.e, move people there and get them off the unemployment rolls. He has weakened welfare requirements, by eliminating work requirements. He has made it easier to get food stamps. Notice how the food stamps rolls have grown. He has made Obamaphones easier to get.
He has been branded the least friendly to business President in recent memory. So, you say business is better under him, yet all the business organizations and groups oppose him.
A fact of life is, if you want more of something increase the incentives, if you want less of something, tax it. So, maybe we should tax poverty and we would have less of it.
I am out of here. Arguing with and trying to save Obamabots is not going to save me anyway. According to the REVeRAND Joe Lousy, I am going to hell anyway, being a white folk, as it is.

it is sad to me that many of you folks actually think Obamacare has anything to do with your healthcare.
It is merely a mandate that requires everyone to purchase insurance. It is going to evolve into another giant drain on our system. Tax rates will be 20% higher over the next 5 years just so the government will be able to supply 30 million people with this insurance by using your money to do it. This is not free. This will be a total disaster. Just watch.

Kyle,
You referred us to other plans, but they were jokes when you really looked into them. Dr. Broun’s plan offered no high risk pools. His staff told me, instead of a high risk pool, Dr. Broun’s proposed tax credit to doctors for “pro-bono” work, limited to $7,000 or so, would provide health care for the uninsured. PLEASE.
