WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration will propose $60 billion in new tax increases over 10 years on wealthy estates, businesses and others to make up for shortfalls in its fund to pay for an expensive overhaul of the health-care system. Officials said that upon further analysis they realized that they had overestimated savings and tax increases proposed in February to help pay the bill........ here we go!

The FED caused inflation and depression, drove up the profit bubble and wages to "compensate" for it. They then burst it! Now they want the people to pay for their arrogance. The whole tax thing is a scam, a power play, more enslavement to a non-working, corrupt political and corporate agenda. When will we say ENOUGH!?

the more I read and research the more I find that I am being taxed and no I am not in the 250K/yr bracket. (for examples) cigarettes insurance state and local increases - ie, licenses, tags, etc. property taxes cutting of local programs - which in fact were supposed to increase When will I feel stimulated?

I say we support The Venus Project and take away the need for all of it! http://www.thevenusproject.com/ I still say this is a better alternative worthy of a read and research. It is a step in a NEW direction, not back or forward in any we have tried.

That's an awful broad and misleading thought. Who's to say what is your States fault, or if any of the increases on your list were pre-planned (pre-Obama) and inevitable?
