Nolte: Birth Tax -- 80 Percent of Obamacare Mandate Paid by Those Making Less Than $50,000

Nolte: Birth Tax -- 80 Percent of Obamacare Mandate Paid by Those Making Less Than $50,000: While Barack Obama was illegally funneling billions of dollars to big corporations in the form of health insurance companies, his indefensible Obamacare mandate still stands as a brutal tax that almost exclusively bleeds the working and middle class.

It works like this: If you are not covered by health insurance, if you do not buy something you are obligated by our fascist government to buy simply for the sin of being born, the federal government penalizes you with a tax of $675 for each adult in your household, plus an additional $347.50 for each child or a maximum penalty of $2085. Or… You will pay 2.5 percent of your adjusted gross income if that comes out to a higher amount than the per person penalty.
