The folks over at Americans For Tax Reform have compiled a list of just seven ways that the Senate health care reform bill Makes The One a liar. Click to view the report here.(or right click and save) Here's a list:

Individual Mandate Tax
Employer Mandate Tax
Medicine Cabinet Tax
HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike
FSA Cap
Raise “Haircut” for Medical Itemized Deduction from 7.5% to 10% of AGI
Tax on Indoor Tanning Services

In a "read my lips" moment on the campaign trail The Obamessiah makes a firm promise that no one making under $250,000/yr would have any form of tax increase at all. Another promise with an expiration date from Obama.

UPDATE: Jan 6 2010 – Obama OKs taxing high-end health plans. The AP is reporting

"Obama expressed his preference for the insurance tax contained in the Senate's health overhaul bill…"

Instead of taxing the "evil rich" the way Pelosi wants to The Obamessiah wants to tax "Cadillac plans". So all you union folks and lots of us with employer based insurance plans prepare for your paycheck to be hopenchanged.
