Obama Care Even Taxes my fishing pole???

Cabela's. It is true. Consumers were not to know, now they do

 

This is another example of how our current administration is intentionally deceiving the public in order to gain more tax revenues using the “Affordable health Care Act (Obamacare)” Know this government administration for what is really is.

 

 

 

Medical Excise Tax on Retail Receipts Show How We’re Screwed by Obamacare, page 1

An Infowars reader sent along an image of a sales receipt from Cabela’s, a popular sporting goods store.

The receipt (pictured at left) spells out what Obama and the feds want to keep secret – the middle class is being heavily taxed despite all the fatuous rhetoric of Democrats who invariably play the class warfare card to sell their confiscatory taxation policies.

“The 2.3% Medical Excise Tax that began on January 1st is supposed to be ‘hidden’ from the consumer, but it’s been brought to the public’s attention by hunting and fishing store Cabela’s who have refused to hide it and are showing it as a separate line item tax on their receipts,” the email states.

So being more curious I clicked on "Chapter 5 of IRS Publication 510" And WALLAH! What do I find under "MEDICAL DEVICES" under "MANUFACTURERS TAXES"?

I think we have definately been fooled, if we believe that the Affordable Care Act is all about healthcare. It truely does appear to be nothing more than a bill laden with a whole lot of taxes that we thepeople have yet to be aware of!

But a tax on fishing poles .... Helps the children :rant:

[cajunpredfan]

As much as I hate the current administration this is false http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/medicaldevice.asp .   It was actually an error by Cabela's and refunded back to the consumers.

I had to go to the appendix, but it is in there. I'm not going to say "unbelievable" because I've been griping

on here since Nancy Pelosi said her famous words about it.

 

This is probably the tip of the iceberg and anyone who doesn't know what slavery really is, you are about to

find out. There are more new taxes that probably no one has heard of before. If the Republicans don't get

this ACA crap unfunded and nullified, our country is at the bottom of the Atlantic with the Titanic.

Before you trust snopes or some other BS site, look at that IRS publication.

[cajunpredfan]

I looked at the document from the link above, IRS.gov, and I can't find it.  Again I don't trust this administration.

[RobertY]

I found it.

Scroll down and click on Chapter 5. It is there verbatum. I do not know what publication 510 reffers to at this time though. but looks like new taxes to me any way you cut it.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

I know you don't. :D I found it in the appendix showing page 31 in the pdf file from the IRS.

Interesting how Snopes would claim the tax is "false" when it is listed on the IRS publication.

I think it's time for the leftist propogandists at Snopes to get punched repeatedly in the throat.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Snopes is a mouthpiece for a certain persuasion of political speech. I pay them no mind. I would urge others

to, also.

[Randall53]

Well....for what it's worth...here's a website that says snopes and their biggest defender/supporter when attacked, are both wrong.  http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/hank/081127

 

I think using a website to prove or disprove anything is ridiculous, but we all do it and I'm guilty too I reckon. It's the "here comes my boyfriend.....he's a French model" syndrome.

 

In this instance the IRS publication is reliable proof IMO.

Yep, you are right on the money.  Plain as day.  I went to the table of contents and found it that way.

It appears to me that there has been an excise tax on fishing equipment since the 1950's for the purpose of conservation and management of aquatic resources....

Is this the same, then, or something additional? I would assume it is additional, since I didn't see any references

to that.

 

There was going to be a tax on medical devices, including condoms and Quetips until an exemption

was placed on the bill. I expected this and a million other things to be in there, that almost no politician

read before they passed. That alone should make this Affordable Care Act unconstitutional and null

and void. I know it is the same as any other criminal behavior that goes on inside the Potomac.

We should be lucky that the tax is only 2.3%. The excise on fishing poles, according to the pdf is an additional 10%.
