Obama Senior Adviser Dodges ObamaCare Tax Question

David Axelrod dodges Matt Lauer’s question on whether or not Obamacare is indeed a tax.
On The Today Show, Obama Senior Adviser Dodges ObamaCare Tax Question. NBC’s MATT LAUER:"The good news is the Supreme Court said the mandates are constitutional. the bad news is they say they are a tax. back in 2009 the president adamantly denied that health care reform ways going to be a tax on the american people. does he now agree this legislation, this law is a tax.” DAVID AXELROD:"Whatever you call it, matt, whether a mandate or tax, what it is is a penalty on the very few americans who don't -- who can afford health care, don't pay for it, end up in our emergency rooms getting free care and we all pay for it in the form of premiums.” LAUER:"Whatever you call it is important. In an election year and coming out of a recession if it's called a tax, it's going to hurt.” (NBC’s Today Show, 6/29/12)

Rep Ben Quayle Introduces Constitutional Amendment to Stop Deceptive Use of Congressional Taxation Authority

WASHINGTON (DC) – Congressman Ben Quayle released the following statement after introducing a constitutional amendment to ensure that taxes passed by Congress are labeled as such during the legislative process. Obamacare was upheld by the Supreme Court on the basis that the individual mandate fell under Congress’ right to lay and collect taxes, even though the mandate was never labeled a tax by the bill’s proponents.
"Most Americans figured out long ago that President Obama had attempted to sell them a bill of goods with Obamacare. Yesterday, the Supreme Court confirmed it. The President stated clearly, and on multiple occasions that the individual mandate was not a tax as he sold it to Congress and the American people. However, he was more than happy to see the Supreme Court uphold the law on the basis that it is in fact a tax.
"My amendment requires that all taxes levied by Congress be labeled honestly and openly as taxes during the legislative process. The American people deserve to know the full implications and consequences of legislation passed by Congress. Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision illustrated plainly the dangers of deceptive labeling by our leaders.”

Confirmed Kirkpatrick's Party’s Healthcare Takeover is a ‘Big F***ing’ Tax

Supreme Court Decision Verifies What Arizona Families Always Feared, the Worst Tax of ObamaCare is Yet to Come

WASHINGTON --- Ann Kirkpatrick's party’s massive government takeover of healthcare is still the law of the land and continues to burden our fragile economy. The individual mandate – that the majority of Americans wanted gone – will add heavy taxes to middle class families. Will Ann Kirkpatrick support another weight on her constituents?
"The spotlight is on Ann Kirkpatrick now that the Supreme Court confirmed what Arizona workers already knew, that her party’s healthcare takeover would increase taxes on Arizona families,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."The only way to make sure that these taxes don’t do permanent damage on families’ finances and on businesses ability to grow is to make sure Kirkpatrick isn’t allowed to come to Washington in 2013.”

The Supreme Court’s decision ruled ObamaCare’s individual mandate to be a tax on the American middle class:
"The Affordable Care Act’s requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may reasonably be characterized as a tax.” (Chief Justice John Roberts, 567 U.S. ____(2012), Supreme Court of the United States, 6/28/2012, p. 44)

However, President Obama was adamant that the mandate would not raise taxes on American families who are already dealing with degraded quality of care and less choices through ObamaCare:
"’No. That's not true, George. The — for us to say that you've got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase...,’ [said President Obama].” (“Obama: Mandate Is Not A Tax,” ABC News, 9/20/09)

When the Democrats’ big government healthcare takeover was signed Vice President Biden had a candid moment:
"Vice President Joe Biden ...dropped an F-bomb on live television when he turned to Obama and said, ‘This is a big f***ing deal.’” (“ ‘A Big F---ing Deal’: Biden’s Health Care Reform F-Bomb On Live TV,” Huffington Post, 5/23/2012)

AZGOP To Carmona We're Happy to Help Remind You Where You Stand

Arizona GOP To Carmona –"We’re Happy To Help Remind Arizonans Where You Stand”
Sending"I LOVE OBAMACARE” Bumper Sticker For Carmona To Proudly Display

(PHOENIX) – In the spirit of bipartisanship, the Arizona Republican Party announced today it will be purchasing an"I LOVE OBAMACARE” bumper sticker for Democrat Senate candidate Richard Carmona and encouraging Carmona to proudly display it on his car as he drives around Arizona in the months ahead. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in Washington, which is helping to run Carmona’s campaign from Washington, is selling the $3 bumper stickers online to their supporters so that they can advertise their support for ObamaCare in the wake of yesterday’s 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court.
"The Arizona GOP would never normally send a gift to our Democrat opponents or money to their liberal friends in Washington, but we believe $3 is a good investment to help remind Arizonans of Richard Carmona’s strong support for President Obama’s agenda,” said Arizona Republican Party spokesman Tim Sifert."After being personally recruited by the President and helping his Administration create ObamaCare, surely Carmona will be proud to display his new"I LOVE OBAMACARE” bumper sticker to remind Arizonans exactly who he stands with on the issues important to them.”

We need to move toward a health care system, not the sick care system that we have today. This legislation moves us closer to that. This bill is not perfect.

Rep Trent Franks Calls for Holder Resignation Following Contempt Vote

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-02) released the following statement after today's 255-67 House vote in favor of holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress over his handling of Operation Fast and Furious:

"Today was a momentous one for the Obama Administration. Mere hours after the Supreme Court upheld Mr. Obama's government takeover of the American healthcare industry -- a policy amounting to the largest tax increase in American history (according to today's Supreme Court decision), Mr. Obama's own attorney general became the first ever to be held in contempt of Congress.

"Having overseen an incomprehensibly flawed operation that has led to an estimated death tally in excess of 200, this Administration owes clear, straight answers to the many who have suffered as a result of their gifting thousands of guns to violent drug cartels. But instead of coming clean, this Administration has clearly stonewalled and covered up vital documents, something I personally witnessed when I and other Judiciary Committee members questioned Mr. Holder late last year.

"Reflecting on today's vote to hold Mr. Holder accountable, I note that the only appropriate response to the stunning mishandling of Operation Fast and Furious is Mr. Holder's prompt resignation from the post he has executed in such a spectacularly damaging fashion."

Carmona's ObamaCare Can't be Fixed, Must Be Repealed

(PHOENIX) – After helping the Obama Administration create ObamaCare, Richard Carmona and his fellow liberal Democrats are now facing calls for the budget-busting law to be repealed. Arizona voters will have a chance in November to send responsible leaders to Congress and the White House who understand the damage this law will do to our economy.
"ObamaCare is still a wild, over-reaching attempt to regulate every aspect of our lives,” said Arizona Republican Party spokesman Tim Sifert."It defies common sense thatDemocrat Richard Carmona would support the heavy-handed policies of the Obama Administration that so many of his potential constituents find abhorrent.”
