Obama Hides Tax Increases in New Government Fees

The Queen of Mean, Leona Helmsley, was right – the wealthy do not pay taxes, the little people do. Helmsley’s remark is more spot on than ever as Obama prepares to raise taxes on middle income Americans under the ruse of taxing the rich.

According to the establishment media, Obama’s tax burden will hit predominantly upper income taxpayers and reduce spending on “mandatory benefit programs,” including Medicare and Medicaid, by $580 billion.

Obama and the Democrats will raise billions more, not by direct taxation but through an across the board increase in government mandated fees.

Documents crafted by the Obama administration describe the fees as savings, according to the Associated Press.

Air travelers will be forced to pay more “federal security fees” – and endure what amounts to sexual molestation at the airport – and corporate air travel will get socked with a round of new fees.

Government workers are easy targets, so they will face an additional 1.2 percentage point deduction from their paychecks to contribute $21 billion more for their pensions.

Military retirees will pay a $200 fee when they turn 65 to have the government pay their out-of-pocket Medicare expenses and will also pay more for non-generic prescription drugs.

Mortgage behemoths Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be charged new fees that will naturally be passed along to lenders. The fee increase will reportedly raise $28 billion over 10 years.

Obama has come up with a blizzard of new fees, including fees that “tilt toward the arcane,” according to the AP.

“There’s a plan to save $3 million a year by developing an electronic records system for hazardous waste shipments. Another would produce $7 million more a year by giving the federal government a 50 percent share of receipts from geothermal leases on federal lands instead of 25 percent, with the remainder going to the states.”

If you think the Republicans will save you from Obama taking more of your money to pay off a national debt you are not responsible for, think again.

A Biden-led group including Republicans think fleecing air travelers is a good idea and they are coming around to the idea that tax increases can be disguised as fee increases for “government services” that are in fact government monopolies.

  3. this things…

  4. Since our so-called congress seems to be sharing a single spine I’m wondering can a private citizen, such as myself, put soetoro/obama/davis whatever his name really is, under arrest? He’s not legally president. If he were, he’s committing treason.

    • You would have the entire MIC stopping you from performing this…
      That and 200 million useful idiots, some armed
      Sadly

  5. Perilous times.
    Pray for those in power, this bunch and those pulling their strings.
    This bunch is so evil, that they would probably not like it if you pray for them.

  6. follow this link and read whats there, 2 x nuke strikes in the USA.

    rabbithole2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18t=3130

    • The US has already been, and is being, nuked by Fukishima radiation via the jet stream!

    • I read that interview. It has some colossal charges in it i must say. The gist of it is that,
      Ranking elite have separated themselves from the NWO. Some were not on board a with the Agenda 21 plan. They therefore blew up the two biggest underground hideouts the elites had set up. One in DC, the other in colorado. There is supposedly a mass movement by power brokers to give up peacefully now because of no hide outs. The explosions may have been the earthquakes we just experienced in the us.
      Since we never know the real truth. All we can do is analyze future movements of the elites to see if this holds water. It would be a great boost if it were true. Hopefully what i read is exactly what i had always hoped for. That there are men in high places who will not let this shit just happen…

  7. And if you havent seen this “Prompted by the the current crisis in U.S.-Pakistani relations, the Obama administration has reportedly shifted supply lines to rely even more on the Central Asian corridor. And in an effort to improve relations with Uzbekistan, it is now asking Congress to OK military aid to that country, over the furious objections of human rights groups.” Salon

  8. Obama has to raise taxes to pay for a new prison in Afghanistan, to cost from 25 to 100 mill.

    • Democrats or Republicans = Globalists
      Ron Paul is our only hope.
      Let no one tell you he is unelectable.
      The Revolution is now. Ron Paul 2012

      • 10 4!!!

  9. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS:
    Markets have clearly become more skeptical about the ability of many countries to stabilize their public debt,” Blanchard said. “Fear of the unknown is high.”

    Overall, the IMF predicts global growth of 4 percent for both years. Stronger growth in China, India, Brazil and other developing countries should offset weaker output in the United States and Europe
    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? ALL THE GROWTH ECONOMICALLY IN THE WORLD OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS IS GONNA COME FROM THE THIRD WORLD, SO THEIR GAINS AR ALL COMING AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR LOSSES, THIS CAN BE MEASURED IN UNEMPLOYMENT JOBS INCOME FALLING TAX REVENUES, AND TO RAISE FEES BECAUSE ITS MORE POLITICALLY CORRECT SOUNDS ALOT LIKE TRYING TO CHANGE THE TAX ON CAPITAL GAINS, THE TRUTH IS THERE SHOULD BE NO TAX ON CAPITAL OR DIVIDENDS IF THERE WERE NOT ANY, THE FED WOULD NOT BE HAVING TO PROP UP THE STOCK MARKET WITH LOW RATES AND GOD KNOWS THE FED HAS BEEN SO POLITICIZED THEY ARE BUYING STOCKS WITH THE FEDS MONEY AND RETIREMENT FUNDS ALL ORCHESTRATED TO PROP UP OBAMA. ITS NONSENSE.

  10. Want to save money BarryO?
    Here’s a novel idea that would actually work.
    One that hasn’t been thought of by you and your lackies in government.

    SIMPLY STOP SPENDING ON WAR….

    Well actually you probably HAVE thought about it but are afraid you’ll be given the Kennedy Haircut should you try…

  11. Fees are not usually a good thing. Fees are usually avoided. Airline and air traffic control fees would be a very bad thing. Imagine if you will a fee based system for flight plans, something being proposed. Do you think for a minute that some flights will go without a plan to avoid the fee? Absolutely. I for one do not want to be up in the air with a bunch of airplanes that don’t have flight plans in bad weather. It is a recipee for disaster. Any fee that could be potentially dangerous should be stopped. What we need to do is cut our spending back to what we can afford. Period.

  12. Another under the cover tax is the carbon tax. It will soon start in Europe for all internaional airlines. It will be a heavy fee per passenger ticket, paid to the carbon trading board. Your buddie Al Gore will rip a % off of the top.

  13. “YOUR TAXES WILL NEVER BE RAISED!” – “Obama” ak a Barry

  14. Watch the Occupy Wall Street protests at livestream.com/globalrevolution

  15. Our first revolution was done over a 3 %(?) stamp tax enforced by King George’s gestapo ?
    a mere 3 percent of the population fought back , the rest stayed willfully asleep… DEJA VU

  16. I must continue to object to people giving Obama credit for doing anything, including bad things. OBAMA IS A PUPPET OF THE BANKSTERS. Don’t be fooled. OBAMA IS NOT ALLOWED TO WIELD THE ACTUAL POWERS OF THE PRESIDENCY. He is an actor, a speaker, and a photo-op distraction. That’s his job as President; to help the banksters, and their buddies in the military-industrial complex, keep pulling wool over the American People’s eyes.

    And everything nearly everyone in the Federal Government says who gets air-time in the mass media/brainwashing outlets is a lie. And when they get caught in a lie, they lie some more, ad infinitum.

    Fees, taxes, confiscations, searches and siezures, …, all of it is designed to loot the People (especially middle-class), intimidate us into blind obedience, and herd us around like cash-cow chatel.

    So, stop talking about Obama as if he does this or that, when it is the powers behind the throne that are really calling the shots.

    • I see it the same way, he’s just FOLLOWING ORDERS by his puppet masters, as Bush did and Clinton and Reagan and so and so on.
      To continue to focus on what the puppet does, instead of what the BANKSTERS ordered is a waste of effort and only feeds the false paradigm

  17. How can they get away with this crap?! First we had Bush’s bailout that we just had to have or the whole country would fall apart. Then we had Obama’s Stimulus Package that we just had to have because it would create OR save 3 million jobs, which there’s no proof it did either one. Then we had the debt increase debate that ended with the LARGEST debt increase in history, along with sneaking in a Super Congress to destroy our Legislative Branch of Govt. And now Obama is going to tax us even more as an excuse to have another failing Stimulus Package that he’s calling a Job’s Creation Bill!!!!!!! The audacity is amazing! And most of america sleeps as if nothing is going on, when is the Revolution going to begin?????

    • To answer your first question Dire, they get away with it because we let them. We deserve what we’ve got coming.

  18. If the rich don’t pay taxes, then how is it that just the top 10% of earners pay over 70% of the taxes? The top 25% of earners pay almost 90% of the taxes.

    • The rich do pay taxes. That they don’t is a lie told by those that want to devide us. Now, I will say that there are loop holes that the rest of us cannot take advantage of but it is really only the corporations and those making under $20 per hour that do not pay taxes. Corporations as you know pass taxes on to its customers.

    • the super rich pay no taxes because all their wealth is in company shares, the “rich,” you speak of our the doctors, lawyers, and couples who make 250000$ or more a year that pay all the taxes.

    • Well, think about it. It’s the end user consumer of products and services that pays 100% of ALL taxes!

      All taxes are embedded in the cost of all products and services (discounting illegal transactions as unreported stuff like drugs, etc). All the taxes the CEO pays, employees and the janitor that sweeps the floors (including their state and local) are all embedded in the car you buy from GM. Same goes for all other goods and services. Where do you think the money comes from?

      It is all one gigantic scam to cover all the tax on tax over tax. Unconstitutional, unethical, and should be considered a crime against humanity. Especially since they use so much of it to kill inocents in our stupid, unconstittional wars.

  19. A big Ol’ Foxtrot Yankee Delta Bravo to you Obummer and the rest of the globalist puppets!!!
    When are the general public going to figure out they are”elected” representatives and this is not what we want. When there are more of us and until now the “more of us” have not figured out when you want something done right —–do it yourself. Sounds like a revolution call and it is but try to get a couple two three million people to get interested and in locksteo with something cant be that hard? is it?

  20. You forgot one.

    The banksters are already talking about hiking the student loan fees. I bet it’s in there, but it’s being open;y discussed right now. I saw it yesterday on C-GE-NBC.

  21. Obama loves sticking it to the little guy.
    Obama loves waging war in the mideast.
    Obama loves propping up the NWO.
    Obama loves destroying the USA.

    Obama hates the constitution.
    Obama hates freedom for all.
    Obama hates independence from government.
    Obama hates the USA.

    • Indeed! and his name isn’t even Obama, now that’s just sad. This country sucks at electing people. Dumb down the society and the society will make dumbed down decisions.

  22. tax tax destory americans’ capital middle class.

    “It is the system of nationalist individualism that has to go….We are living in the end of the sovereign states….In the great struggle to evoke a Westernized World Socialism, contemporary governments may vanish….Countless people…will hate the new world order….and will die protesting against it.”

    -socialist H.G. Wells.-

  23. WOW guess you got pay for your airport “gropping” too
