The individual health insurance mandate survived a major court challenge
last week when Chief Justice John Roberts declared it could exist as a
tax. While President Obama and his allies still insist the mandate is
not a tax, Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist says the
plan has always been full of taxes increases on the American people -
more than 20 in all.
It's now clear this is all about a massive tax increase to pay for a lot of government spending," Norquist told WND. "If you have health insurance now the government is going to tax you to pay for other people's health insurance and it's a massive transfer of wealth."
Norquist walks us through some of the most onerous
taxes, from targeting investors to the mandate tax to the medical device
tax. He calls it the largest middle class tax increase we've ever
seen.
