TAX Day: OBAMACARE'S TENTACLES

HARBINGER OF HEALTH HARM . . . WELCOME TO GRASSFIRE'S HEALTHWIRE REPORT! . . . TAX DAY PORTENDS THE FUTURE -- AND IT'S NOT PRETTY! Dear HealthWire Subscriber,   Yes, this is Tax Day. You've filed your taxes (hopefully). Maybe you sent in a check. Even if you got money back, you realize how much you paid was wrong.    What's more is that Tax Day casts the shadow of Obamacare across the land. Why that is an important milestone is covered in today's story, "Tax Day is Obamacare Day! "  Obamacare is bad enough in and of itself. Did they really have to make the subsidies anti-marriage? One public policy group, Economic Policies for the 21st Century, describes how that works:   The new premium assistance program penalizes married couples. For instance, if two people each earn $30,000 annually, on their own, they would be judged to have incomes at about 300 percent of the FPL. But if that couple were to marry, their combined income would total $60,000, or about 500 percent of the FPL for a household with two people.   If Tax Day -- and my comments this evening and in my story have you feeling a bit down --  let's remember that adversity provides great opportunity. Toward that end -- if you haven't read Steve Elliott's "Thriving in Exile." please go here and get copies for yourself and your friends. It's a great reminder of our calling to build and plant when we are solidly and totally outside our comfort zones. In fact, I'm reminded of the common colonial reference to God, Providence. George Washington used the term often and he meant it in its full implications! And so can we. How else do you think the Founding Fathers made it successfully through the Revolutionary War? Similarly, Elliott charts a path drawn from the past to point us to our future.  Build, plant, and move forward in health and liberty,   Gailon Totheroh Editor, HealthWire LibertyNews.com CONNECT WITH US ONLINE: FACEBOOK | TWITTER | YOUTUBE | LIBERTYNEWS.COM   Click here to be removed from this list or send a written request to: Grassroots Action PO Box 277 Maxwell,IA 50161 You are signed up as: alexander@yorkteaparty.org.
