Barack Hussein Obama has promised the American people on numerous occasions that he would not increase taxes on any American or American family earning less than $250,000 a year. When pressed for clarification and commitment, his response has been a consistent No New Taxes, reminiscent of Bush I’s “Read My Lips.”
“I can make a firm pledge: under my plan no family making less than two-hundred-fifty-thousand dollars a year will see any form of tax increase.”
Video: Barack Obama Pledges Not to Raise Taxes
The president and his congressional leaders on the left specifically pitched his health care act as not being a tax. They claimed vehemently that it was not a tax, and ridiculed conservatives who said it was indeed a tax. They insisted that Obamacare was constitutional pursuant to the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Then, of course, as soon as the administration got in front of the supreme court they began claiming that Obamacare was indeed a tax. The argument seemed ridiculous if not ingenuous in light of all of the left’s posturing and protesting that it was not a tax.
Today the supreme court announced that Obamacare passes constitutional scrutiny because it is . . . A TAX!
And not just a tax. As a tax, Obamacare is the biggest tax increase in the history of the U.S. Will it increase the taxes of Americans earning less than $250,000 a year? YES!!!
Of course, the upshot is that President Obama and all of those on the left who forced Obamacare down America’s collective throat were lying. It was indeed a tax. It was a Trojan Horse. It was subterfuge on the scale of a stolen revolution, or of a communist power takeover.
Today is a day of decision for the American people. Each of us must ask ourselves the questions:
Are we ready to join the left in its march toward socialism?
Or do we take back our country today?
There is no longer any middle ground. The die is cast, and we either end the government’s expansion into every aspect of our lives, and shut down 90 percent of the bureaucracy and rein back entitlements to a safety net level, or we capitulate to Obama and the left and allow the federal government to completely take over.

All true, but it is critical to realize that the gop is the same as the dnc. We have to fight them first … we must #defundgop, or they will keep giving us unprincipled cowards for candidates, and we’ll keep on losing. If you want to give to a candidate, but don’t want the gop to have control, then give your political contributions to senate conservatives fund or freedomworks. They ARE fighting to get conservatarian candidates on the ballots!

Tracye, first, sorry for your loss. Second. Get active. Learn this bill and other legislation that affcts you. Join a Tea Party group or the like. Most are free, they just like donations. Get to know your Congressman and Senators. Know your local leaders. Find like minded friends and attend rallies etc. Debate. Just know your facts and don’t get detered when the name calling starts. Liberals are empty suits that are very good at manipulation. It’s a disgrace where our country has gone in the last four years.

I am a single mother from Alabama, my husband died of ALS in 2004. I have worked my butt off to support my two daughters and pay my taxes and I am outraged at the S C judgement today. I am also outraged that Obama and AG Eric Holder can “just say no” to the congress about fast and furious!! This is my country and these people work for ME! How can they tell us that we have to buy anything??? What is next???
