Joe the Plumber said his business would be making 250K gross. Surely he would be taxed after deductions?

As a comparison surely someone with a small shop that makes 100K but spends most of it paying staff and buying inventory, wouldn’t pay the same tax as someone earning 100K?

Only the Democrats would think Obama Care isn’t a new tax. Do you agree?

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says requiring people to get health insurance and fining them if they don’t would not amount to a backhanded tax increase.

“I absolutely reject that notion,” the president said. Blanketing most of the Sunday TV news shows, Obama defended his proposed health care overhaul, including a key point of the various health care bills on Capitol Hill: mandating that people get health insurance to share the cost burden fairly among all. Those who failed to get coverage would face financial penalties.

Obama said other elements of the plan would make insurance affordable for people, from a new comparison-shopping “exchange” to tax credits.

Telling people to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase, Obama told ABC’s “This Week.”
