Obama wants to go over Fiscal Cliff to Blame $1 Trillion Obamacare Tax Hike on GOP?

The Obama Administration is fantastic at projecting it’s failures on previous Republican Presidents and current GOPs in Congress.   We wonder if Obama wants to go over the Fiscal Cliff to divert attention and project blame on a $1 Trillion increase in Taxes form ObamaCare to the Republican Party.

On January 1, regardless of the outcome of fiscal cliff negotiations, Americans will be hit with a $1 trillion Obamacare tax hike.

 Obamacare contains twenty new or higher taxes. Five of the taxes hit for the first time on January 1.  In total, Americans face a net $1 trillion tax hike for the years 2013-2022, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

The five major Obamacare taxes taking effect on January 1 are as follows:
The Obamacare Medical Device Tax:  Medical device manufacturers employ 409,000 people in 12,000 plants across the country. Obamacare imposes a new 2.3 percent excise tax on gross sales – even if the company does not earn a profit in a given year.  In addition to killing small business jobs and impacting research and development budgets, this will increase the cost of your health care – making everything from pacemakers to artificial hips more expensive.
The Obamacare Flex Account Tax: The 30-35 million Americans who use a pre-tax Flexible Spending Account (FSA) at work to pay for their family’s basic medical needs will face a new government cap of $2500. This will squeeze $13 billion of tax money from Americans over the next ten years. (Currently, the accounts are unlimited under federal law, though employers are allowed to set a cap.)

1.) What inspired your interest in Politics?  I guess I was always political, but just didn’t know it until Obama got elected the first time in 2008. His election brought “out the beast within,” as Johnnie Cash wrote. I became very frustrated and VERY angry with his hard-core leftist policies of focusing on the socialist agenda of Obamacare and Dodd Frank, when America needed jobs. Obama ran as a moderate Democrat the first time around, but I knew when he began appointing the same people from the Clinton administration that this was going to be the same old liberal policies, only worse.
