will the 40% tax apply to those who make less than 250K?

I aint the one playin santa! You recognize a bad guy in a santa suit? Dont vote next time!

Oh, I'll vote all right. And I'll vote against the incumbent, for sure!

By incumbent, I mean the fraudulent junior Senator from Illinois- Roland Burris, of course.

Just what incumbent did you think I meant?

Ah, no. Not really, dearie. But thanks for drooling at the thought, it really is so precious.

The suggestion made by the gecko is that the $100 weekly contribution is matched by an equivalent employer contribution of $100, thereby making it $200 weekly or $10,400 monthly. That was not your stated assumption in your fuzzy math post, which my post accurately rebutted. However, just for kicks, let's run with the Gecko's scenario.

Let's return to my post above, which obviously was beyond your comprehension. Here's the relevant bit:

As it happens, you can see that I already considered what the effect of a doubled contribution would be, resulting in a trigger of the new tax. In worst case (35% marginal federal bracket, all attributable to the employee), it comes to $665 yearly. That's a WHOPPING $12.79 weekly.

In other words, today you pay $100 and your employer pays $100 weekly.

In this worst case scenario, your payment now increases to $112.79 and your employer stays at $100.

Oh, and what is this worst case scenario? You are a single person in the 35% tax bracket, meaning you are grossing over $372,951, well over that $250K limit y'all are so worried about. And, you are paying this new tax not just on your own $100, but also on your employer's portion (unlikely).

Holy shocking unbearable obamanomic health plan, batman! Ya gotz the scandal pwned!

NOT.

Why don't you consider a less ridiculous scenario where a person does not make $370k and

pays a 25 or 28% marginal tax rate? You're making the assumption that health benefits

are going to be taxed as regular income and therefore you will have to be in the 35% tax

bracket to be affected. But you don't know that. If health benefits were taxed as regular

income, the tax would be capped at 35% as it is for regular income, not 40%.

You may as well argue with a post dude. If Rush didn't say it, its false...

A conservative can't comprehend anything outside their comfort circle.

They only respond with misdirection, sarcasm and ridicule...
