When President Obama ran for office, he promised not to raise any taxes on the Middle Class. Now that Americans drank that kool-aide, maybe we can get back to reality.
The truth is that if we pass Cap and Trade, it will cost the average family more than $1700 EXTRA dollars per year. This doesn't count the other bills that families must pay.
Now, if this healthcare plan passes, families are going to be required to pay upwards of $3000 in additional fees. Americans aren't being told of these additional taxes because the Congress knows that these bills could never pass if Americans knew the truth.
So to put it in perspective: a family here in America could have to pay over $4000 in extra taxes per year to the Federal Government. If a family makes $30,000 per year, that is already 1/8 of their income that goes to taxes (before ANY other expenses are taken out and other taxes are added).
This is going to destroy our working families and harm Americas middle class. It is absurd that the Congress feels the need to ram through legislation which will raise taxes on our middle class during this economic downturn.
