Before the lefties call you out for being a liar, let me do it first.
and are you even capable of writing in your own words? Your post is word for word what I found on SNOPES. Do me a favor, switch sides and start making the lefties look bad by agreeing with themDid you know:
What happened, quietly, on January 1, 2015:
• Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35%.
• Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%.
• Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%.
• Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28%.
• Dividend tax went from 15% to 39.6%.
• Estate tax went from 0% to 55%.
• A 3.5% Real Estate transaction tax was added.
Remember these facts:
• These taxes were all passed in the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare .
• These taxes were all passed solely with Democrat votes, not a single Republican voted for these new taxes
Righties complain day and night about the costs associated with ACA, yet all I hear from you about the costs of the Iraq war are chirping crickets. This list does not account for the emotional damage caused to service members and their families. So, was this war worth expending such large sums of $$$$?
189,000: Direct war deaths, which doesn't include the hundreds of thousands more that died due to war-related hardships.
4,488: U.S. service personnel killed directly.
32,223: U.S. Troops injured (not including PTSD).
134,000: Civilians killed directly.
655,000: Persons who have died in Iraq since the invasion that would not have died if the invasion had not occurred.
150: Reporters killed.
2.8 million: Persons who remain either internally displaced or have fled the country.
$1.7 trillion: Amount in war expenses spent by the U.S. Treasury Department as through Fiscal Year 2013.
$5,000: Amount spent per second.
$350,000: Cost to deploy one American military member.
$490 billion: Amount in war benefits owed to war veterans.
$7 trillion: Projected interest payments due by 2053 (because the war was paid for with borrowed money).
$20 billion: Amount paid to KBR, contractor responsible for equipment and services.
$3 billion: Amount of KBR payments Pentagon auditors considered "questionable."
$60 billion: Amount paid for reconstruction, (which was ruled largely a waste due to corruption and shoddy work.)
$4 billion: Amount owed to the U.S. by Iraq before the invasion.
1.6 million: Gallons of oil used by U.S. forces each day in Iraq (at $127.68 a barrel).
$12 billion: Cost per month of the war by 2008.
$7 billion: Amount owed to Iraq by the U.S. after the war (mostly due to fraud).
$20 billion: Annual air conditioning cost.
Missing: $546 million in spare parts; 190,000 guns, including 110,000 AK-47s.
0: Nuclear Weapons of Mass Destruction found (though a bunch of chems were discovered).

-- never heard of SNOPES.
-- facts are confusing to people on this board, huh?
Just read the link I supplied, and do a bit more research next time before simply copying and pasting something that LOOKS smart and critical of ObamaCare.
There are plenty of REAL facts to make the case against ObamaCare, resorting to lies, even the lies of others just ruins any credibility you ever had. Of course in your case, you never had any credibility in the first place, and I cringe every time I agree with you.
Hey lefties, would you be willing to accept a trade, us righties will give you nuguy in exchange for a future draft pick to be named later.
Dubiya's Iraq Adventure:
1. $750 million for Embassy in Iraq
2. $100 million to create that green zone (to protect invaders from people they were supposed to liberate and be received with flowers)
3. $200 million to fortify the green zone including 24/7/365 air cover
4, $150 billion for the more than 100 military bases in Iraq
You can go and flush your head in the nearest toilet for your tunnel vision and open display of ignorance about what President Obama has accomplished.
exist or don't exist?
and simply copying and pasting something floating around the internet without vetting it first makes you look like not only a liar, but a lazy and stupid liar to boot.
There is more than enough wrong with Obamacare to slam it without bending the truth. Are you really too lazy to check your facts before copying and pasting stuff that just LOOKS good?
At this rate, you need to disqualify yourself from posting on this board. You are full of BS targeted against the President.
...you didn't furnish a link to prove what you're alleging.
I chose one of your statements at random and fact-checked it. You flatly stated that "Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28%." Did you pull that fact out of your butt or was it just another one of your turds that you hurled at the screen?
Here's what I found: 28% was mentioned but it was not the SOLE rate. Care to share where you got your "facts?"
