Oh you must have missed this.

Obama prods Congress on healthcare; Senate panel acts | Politics | Reuters


Oh by the way here is the definition for again. again - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

So there will be a tax on folks earning over $350,000 for healthcare.
Who will they hit up to pay off the debt? The poor wouldn't really get them much.

True... I think the carrot on that stick is "Vote against yourself and your family and someday yoooo, tooooo, could become an old Mr. Burns like meee...."

I don't get it...I'm nowhere close to being a millionaire and I don't even own my own home yet but how many American's are actually millionaires where taxing them 45% is going to make a dent in any deficit? Not for nothing but shouldnt the taxpayers of America be getting money back now that Goldman Sachs posted some crazy 3 billion profit now? Or is the government getting those funds now?

I tell you...the way our taxes are allocated here and there is such a huge mess...nothing is going towards where it should be going....and especially here in NJ lol

GS paid back TARP, they were forced to take in the first place. Plus the government holds warrents. They will get substantially more back than they lent.

Every iteration of the bill has it in there so they will have to raise taxes twice. I know it's a hard concept but do try to keep up.

Like most libs you apparently believe the healthcare fairy will pay for this boondoggle but the reality is every proposed bill has a tax increase to try and defer the $1 trillion this healtcare plan will cost. Is it your contention that taxes will not be raised? If so you better touch base with Harry and Nancy.
