Lefties everywhere have hastened to try and absolve the ObamacareTax
claiming that it really isn’t the largest tax in American history despite
that conservatives say it is. What is their proof? Well, as a percentage of
GDP ObamacareTax is smaller than other taxes we’ve instituted in the past.
This, statistic, though, is quite misleading.
LoudTalkerBlog has crunched the numbers, but the chief take away is in this
chart, and, yes, it is the largest in total cost ever:
Talker goes on to detail why the ObamacareTax is the biggest ever.
But, if you look at the raw dollars of the deal, again using Drum’s
numbers, the cost of Obamacare is $71.18 billion dollars. (0.49% x 2010 GDP
of $14.526B). That would make it the largest tax increase ever. The second
highest dollar amount in the list? Clinton’s 1993 tax increase of $33.34
billion, which is less than half of the Obama tax increase. Third would be
GHW Bush and fourth Reagan.
Worse, those lefties that are claiming it isn’t the biggest tax ever are
leaving out all sorts of aspects to ObamacareTax in order to make its impact
smaller.
In other words, they lie.
