US top tax rate would be 52% with health surtax
Obama is finished with spend! spend! spend! He recently said Quote:we can not continue spending as if deficits don't matter.
It's time to TAX!!! TAX!!! TAX!!!
Quote:The top rate in the U.S. would then be higher than countries like France, Canada, Italy, Spain and Germany. Only 3 countries in the 30-member OECD, an association of the most economically developed countries in the world, would have a higher rate. Taxpayers in the 6 highest taxed U.S. states would pay higher rates than every country in the OECD except Denmark. Taxpayers in every state, even the 9 that do not levy a state income tax, would face a higher top marginal rate than taxpayers in 21 out of the 30 OECD countries.
9 Reasons Obama/Pelosi's healthcare surtax will be disastrous.
- It’s not the first Obama tax hike.
- It pushes income tax rates above a key threshhold.
- It’s risky in a weak economy
- It actually makes America’s healthcare problem worse.
- It makes the tax code more lopsided and inefficient
- It hurts U.S. competitiveness.
- It ignores the lessons of Clinton
- It ignores the lessons of 1937.
- It pays for a wrong-headed healthcare reform plan.

That's right, keep taxing the people who create industry and wealth. Then take that money and create more government jobs who can then figure out ways to take even more of it. Eventually a smaller and smaller part of the population is generating money that will only go to feed the beast.
