Political Quotes

“Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have had a number of people ask, Why would we have a vote today to repeal ObamaCare when it has been done before? There had not been a vote taken since the United States Supreme Court said that the administration misrepresented what was really in this bill. It was a tax. We know there have been misrepresentations about different things, but this bill creates a massive tax for the people who can least afford it. So run the numbers: If you make $14,856 or more and if you're a single individual, then the chances are you're probably not going to be able to pay for a $12,000 health insurance policy, which is the estimated cost of the insurance policy that is being mandated by the ObamaCare law. If you cannot and if you make more than $14,856--let's say you make $20,000-- and you can't afford the $12,000 for the insurance policy, then you will have an extra annual tax of $371 when the 2\1/2\ percent extra income tax kicks in. If you only make $14,856 and if that's before taxes--take away a hunk of that for income tax, Medicare tax, Social Security tax--then that $371 means a lot. It may mean the difference between being able to fill up a worker's car enough times to get to and from work so he doesn't lose his job. If you're a family of two and if you make $20,123 or more--if you make $30,000 or anything over $20,123--then you will have an extra 2\1/ 2\ percent tax of $503. {time} 1820 But the more you make over $20,123, the more the tax is.…”
