they dont want to? they had a shot in 2016 but there was no plan and the party worked against itself to ensure trump was a 1 term president. a bad bill like this helps them in the long run to keep campaigning against it when out of power but once in, they get their cut and dont want to tip over the apple cart
Rand Paul? When was Rand Paul ever in charge of the Senate? Speaker of the House is next in line for president should something happen to P and VP. I’m not following the thinking here. Please explain. Did you mean Mitch McConnell perhaps?
Thanks. I couldn't believe I typed Rand Paul. I knew it was Paul Ryan. Ugh! That was my next thought. I should have had more coffee to wake me up before I typed. LOL
They genuinely think too many voters will be upset if they throw Obamacare in the trash can without replacing it with something else. I actually think it's a bigger grift than conventional socialized healthcare. We let private insurance companies remain involved. An extra middle man.

Was a 3.5% real estate transaction tax added with Obama care?
.
GPT-4o mini
Yes, under the Affordable Care Act (often referred to as "Obamacare"), a 3.8% Medicare surtax was introduced, which applies to certain investment income, including rental income and capital gains from real estate transactions. This surtax primarily affects individuals with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) over $200,000 (or $250,000 for married couples filing jointly).
Key Points:
The 3.8% tax is not a direct transaction tax but applies to the net investment income of higher earners.
It specifically targets investment income, which can include profits from the sale of real estate.
The tax was implemented to help fund Medicare.
This means that while there wasn't a direct "real estate transaction tax," certain sales could incur the surtax depending on the seller's income level.
Not a single Republican needed to vote for the ACA. The Democrats had the margin to pass it, so the Republicans could look thoroughly righteous with fake outrage, and afterwards they could all went out to dinner together while the good people of the land sank into shock. I remember. I watched it happen. They all admitted they hadn’t read the huge bill because it was impossible in the time they had before the midterms. I saw Nancy Pelosi get on TV and, with a straight face, mind you, say they had to pass the bill to know what was in it, and all the news people said amen. I’m not saying every Republican in that congress was a lying traitor, but good people can get caught up in a scheme when their emotions and beliefs serve the purposes of the schemers in charge, and that's what happened.
I thought it was the end of the Republic when Chief Justice Roberts sided with the Democrats over what was an unconstitutional poll tax with a fancy new name, saying he didn’t want to seem partisan. What?! That’s not how things are to be judged in a court of law, but he had to justify himself, and that stupid line was the best he could come up with. His was the deciding vote in that case, and in that moment I knew they had something on him, something so damning and so heinous that he would willingly make a fool of himself in front of the nation. I could see it on his face, that forced smile of embarrassment people have when they’re doing something everyone can plainly see is a sham. It was an endless stream of that thing in the Obama years––blatant lies and nonsense justifications from people who are going to do what they’re going to do and force everyone else to go along. It was like watching the mafia at work. They are doing exactly the same thing in England and the rest of Europe right now, but I don't think they're going to get away with it because people are being spanked awake there just like they were spanked in America.
All the people who voted for Obama for kindergarten reasons (just because he was black, for example) got everything they deserved in the ACA. It was part of their punishment for stupidly voting for this godless evil man, not that the alternative would have been much better (Non McName). I don’t say they elected Obama because the election was rigged in order to proceed with a carefully orchestrated plan. The sad thing is that everyone in the country got punished, too, which doubles the condemnation of Obama voters for their stupidity. Thank God that stupid low-IQ traitors and hideous legacy Democrats no longer have the upper hand. They will soon be gone. We have some grownups in the government now, and people are finally applying grownup reasoning to their voting.
To show the Level of Corruption..even on Our side - The Majority of Congress Certifying a Fraudulent Election in 2020, sealed their Fate. A total of 147 Republican members of Congress voted to object to the certification of the 2020 presidential election results. Eight Republican senators voted to object to the electoral votes. Only 8..I believe we had 50 at the time...
Completely wrong and dangerous line of thinking. That line of thinking is what got us income tax to begin with.
Income tax started out as a 1% tax on the top 1% of society. Sounds reasonable - its just the richest of the rich getting taxed. Thats why people voted for it
Fast forward to today - and even the poorest people in the nation are being taxed on their income. Every single person is taxed on their income.
Democrats and Republicans. Liberals and Conservatives. But historically haven't "our Representatives" been on the take and acted their roles as a dog and pony show for the Cabaal?
Ueah we k ow the comminist party is alive bit these days not too well in Ameruca. Democrat party and democrat ideology needs to wither and drop from the vine. They are evil leeches who see themselves as slave masters. The ultimate in thievery is stealing a mans labor. Any tax on our labor even a .ooo1 percent is unacceptable any longer. I believe trump is gping to eliminate the income tax federally amd hopefully its unconstitutionality will kill state level income tax also. MAGA will be a complete failure unless this happens. As for the rest of these taxes, the punishment to these dictators should be those taxes are complety eliminated with and outlawed to ever be collected again.
And wasn't that the bill Nanzi Pelosi said we have to pass it to find out what is in it-No wonder the Dems/Commies said that! Angry but the we kind of did this to ourselves. Hopefully Trump can fix it with the BBB.
And most of them never read it before signing. Fucking traitors and idiots.
Have to pass it to find out what's in it...
After a statement like that, you have to wonder how she got re-elected.
She was way popular with the bots and dead people.
I don't even think dead people would vote for her : )
"For the children."
How does anyone get “elected” in California?
I remember seeing that smug Skeletor bitch's face when she said that.
Have to be able to read to find out what's in it...
That was the day I was convinced we were done for and sliding towards full blown communism.
Michigan is, in fact, red.
Is that you, Nancy?
congress entirely needs disassembled. Why are they untouchable? its disgusting
Being able to abolish it was put in to our founding documents.
Idiots, no, they were absolutely complicit.
Republicans could fix this now. I wonder why they haven't?
they dont want to? they had a shot in 2016 but there was no plan and the party worked against itself to ensure trump was a 1 term president. a bad bill like this helps them in the long run to keep campaigning against it when out of power but once in, they get their cut and dont want to tip over the apple cart
Exactly, they can fix a lot of things but they are in cahoots with the devil.
McCain gave the thumbs down to repealing Obamacare
While he was "sick" with "cancer."
Rand Paul? When was Rand Paul ever in charge of the Senate? Speaker of the House is next in line for president should something happen to P and VP. I’m not following the thinking here. Please explain. Did you mean Mitch McConnell perhaps?
Maybe fren meant Paul Ryan?
Yeah, you’re right. I bet that’s who they were thinking of in which case I don’t doubt it for a minute. Paul Ryan was a huge traitor.
My mistake I meant Paul Ryan.
I should have figured out who you meant, needed some caffeine to help me clear the fog.
Thanks. I couldn't believe I typed Rand Paul. I knew it was Paul Ryan. Ugh! That was my next thought. I should have had more coffee to wake me up before I typed. LOL
Well, Rand Paul has been on my $h!t list lately, so I can understand.
Ha ha. You're right! I used to think he was fantastic. Now, it's hard to tell which side he's on.
They have no interest in upsetting the status quo.
They genuinely think too many voters will be upset if they throw Obamacare in the trash can without replacing it with something else. I actually think it's a bigger grift than conventional socialized healthcare. We let private insurance companies remain involved. An extra middle man.

The REAL Traitor here is John Roberts, who 'green lit' the WHOLE thing.

It can't be fixed. Must be THROWN OUT. C'mon, Republicans, grow a spine, while there's still time.
This info is incorrect as the Capital Gains tax is still at 15% and dividend tax is taxed at whatever your income tax rate is.
Weren't those stripped out of the final vote to get the two swing votes?
Low end capital gains went to 0%, though. If taxes, then taxes on the rich. Get rid of taxes but don’t tax the poor.
If we believe the system is broken and needs to collapse on the elites, then tax them, a lot.
Completely wrong and dangerous line of thinking. That line of thinking is what got us income tax to begin with.

When doing business taxes, payroll taxes, the percentage for Medicare is still 1.45%. I don't know about the others.
