PelosiSpeak

I'm reading through House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's final "manager's amendment," and this part jumped out at me:

Page 88, line 1, strike ‘‘MEDICARE TAX’’ and insert ‘‘UNEARNED INCOME MEDICARE CONTRIBUTION’’.

I wrote about this new 3.8 percent tax on investment income here.

Almost makes it sound voluntary. Perhaps I shall interpret it that way come tax time.

Since when did taxes become contributions? Normally when I contribute something to a plan I expect to get something back later. There can be no expectation of ever getting anything of substance back from Medicare especially for someone with unearned income.

Does anyone know when, if passed, this tax kicks in? I may have a ton of sell orders to place for when the market opens on Monday.

Just remember bama said no tax increase on anybody making under 250,000, now I wonder how many of the folks making less than that will be paying 3.8% of their UNEARNED income to bama, Look out there will be more. He lied again, stay tuned more to come..

I have often wondered what was worse: An intellectually challenged leader with good intentions (especially the last 8 years), or a very intelligent leader with bad intentions. I will never have to puzzle over this issue again. Yes, W, we DO miss you now.
