Here is what happened on January 1, 2015 :

Top Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35%

Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%

Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%

Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28%

Dividends tax went from 15% to 39.6%

Estate tax went from 0% to 55%

These taxes were all passed only with democrat votes, no republicans voted for these taxes.

These taxes were all passed under the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.

I think someone is completely full of ****e.

American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Please review the ATRA 2012 here or at any source you prefer. Then review the OP.

Why do people post such outrageous ****e?

Because they are stupid, and believe any screeeching garbage sent from their far right lying brethren.

Using the logic of your boy dingy harry, please enumerate by point which of his numbers are wrong.

Anyone care to bet me that this will get done? He has neither the guts nor the desire.

Even stuff which 10 seconds of googling would disprove.


Their handlers count on the fact that they have no intellectual integrity. And that they are lazy and want so desperately to believe lies fitting their narrative that they turn a blind eye to actual facts.

Yeah, your daddy came in and called bs with nothing to back it up and you can't get enough of it.

The snopes article explained that OP's list was email/Facebook message popular amongst ignorant morons who just bought into it hook line and sinker, only to be shown by FACTS that it is untrue garbage.

Not all of it, there were discrepancies, but not all inaccurate.. very similar to some of your claims.😝

And snopes has become a very biased website with regards to politics. It definitely isn't the accurate site I once believed it was.

President Obama finally has his Piketty moment - The Washington Post


"Fighting a two-front war against a Piketty-style oligarchy where today's hedge funders become tomorrow's trust funders. First, it's trying to slow the seemingly endless accumulation of wealth among the top 1, and really the top 0.1, no actually the top 0.001, percent by raising capital gains taxes on them while they're living and raising them on their heirs when they're dead. And second, it's trying to help the middle help itself by subsidizing work, child care, and education."

Moar taxes

You can debate where the money gets spent: the junior college plan, child care tax credit, reduce the deficit, what have you.

But taxing income should not depend on where/how it comes from. The rate on investments should be the same as the rate on physical labor. There is no moral justification for the rates being so disparate.

Income shouldn't be taxed. Period. However, since that ship has already sailed, the progressive tax structure should be abolished and a flat-rate structure implemented.

Snopes is more biased than Fox News or msnbc.
