People "seem" to be yelling for more taxes on the big corperations and the "rich" but is it just what those in the media want? I am also retired and am starting to think that ebay sales may be the way to go to keep some income "private".
As a retired military person I have seen my drug co-pays increase 2-4 times over that last 12 months and Febuary they are going up again(please read this as me paying more taxes).
The increase in taxes stifles the desire to start or expand business as Mick has pointed out in his post. I have a believe that many of the politicians in both parties are counting on the attitude of many to look to government for all their support rather than themselves. obamacare was designed so that businesses would choose the small fine for not providing health insurance rather than provide health insurance.
This can be seen when many large corperations supported the passage of obamacare. Now the politicians can say "well business failed to provide health insurance so the government must step in and make all healthcare owned by the government".
They(government types) will use many interesting non threatening terms like they did with obamacare(real name is "affordable healthcare act"). This is something they have been doing for years. I expect the law I expect to pass this year restricting our gun rights will have a very attractive non-threatening name that we might vote for is we just read the name. Sorry I ran on, Mike.
