GOP Not Willing to Part with Obamacare Tax Revenue

After six years of the Republican Party insisting that it wants to repeal Obamacare but have been able to do so long as Barack Obama remains in the White House, in nine days, Obama will be gone and the door will fly open giving the GOP the path to do what Americans have long waited for, i.e., REPEAL! REPEAL! REPEAL!

According to Americans for Tax Reform:

Doing so will not only repeal a failed law that has resulted in skyrocketing premiums, cancelled healthcare plans, and billions in new, wasteful spending, it will also provide a giant tax cut to middle class Americans.

Obamacare imposed roughly one trillion in higher taxes over ten years, including many that directly hit middle class families. Repealing these taxes will provide much needed relief to the paychecks of families across the country[…]

So, what’s the problem?  Like meth addicts (I know strong analogy), the GOP elites who love their pork do not want to give up their sugar meaning the lucrative tax revenue stream generated by Obamacare in excess of half billion dollars in tax hikes that is yet another avenue of bleeding Americans bone dry.

Thus, Obamacare’s taxes and its draconian tax hikes are another reason that Americans are as so adamantly opposed to the legislation.

Published on Jan 9, 2017 by The Daily Sheeple

On this edition of The Daily Sheeple’s “Daily News Brief” Joe Joseph gets into the latest with regards to the “Repeal ObamaCare” movement, or should we say the lack thereof. He also gets into the fact that DHS is taking over control of all critical infrastructure in the US, and he challenges the new movement on college campus’ throughout the US to remove ‘White” philosophers from their respective curricula.

NYS’s Cigarettes Tax NUDGE Smokers out of State, to Black Market for their Smokes.

In 2010, New York State raised its cigarette tax, now the highest in the nation from $2.75 to $4.10 per pack of cigarettes.

According to The Daily Caller, the tax increase has raised the price of a pack of cigarettes to $10.60. I beg to differ.

I have not seen a pack of cigarettes for $10.50 in several years but then I am not a smoker and the price per pack may depend upon the cigarettes purchased.

All of that aside, the last time I noticed, one pack of cigarettes cost $12.50.

Moving on….the consequences of NYS’ cigarette tax being the highest in the nation, a 190 percent tax increase on cigarettes since 2006, means that cigarette smokers are (a) traveling across state lines for their smokes; (b) purchasing their smokes through Native American outlets to save $6 per pack; or (c) purchasing their smokes on the black market.

In addition, NYS is suffering a huge loss of revenue. (What did they expect?)

New York Post

New York state cigarette tax collections have plunged by about $400 million over the past five years, according to figures and estimates from the office of New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.

And New York has also lost $1.3 billion in uncollected state cigarette taxes each year from alternative sales, according to a separate study…

Continue

Compounding the offense of the government to tax smokers to death, “smokers are slapped with an extra $1.50 per pack on top of the state tax. (On top of that, there’s federal excise tax of $1.01, and an 8 percent sales tax of almost 80 cents, using our example.)”

So how will the State handle the loss of revenue?

They will raid grocery stores, newspaper and fruit stands who might be selling out of state or black market cigarettes.

In addition, Native American cigarette outlets will be audited.

All will take place while the nanny states runs fear mongering television ads that no one with the exception of young children watches to dissuade New Yorkers from smoking.

Mind you, the above game plan has been underway for more than a decade and has changed nothing.

FAIL!
