House eyes new taxes as senators pare health bill

Also under consideration are higher alcohol taxes, increases to the Medicare payroll tax and a value-added tax, a sort of national sales tax, of up to 1.5 percent or more.
Obama promised "no new taxes" for families making under $250k.
He already jacked up tobacco taxes and now they're thinking about
raising alcohol taxes, creating a sugary drinks tax, a national sales
tax and the beginning stages of health care benefits taxes (which is
something he gave McCain hell about during the election process).

They will raise income taxes on the rich. But you can bet big that
when their $1T+ health care scandal blows up in cost they will raise
income taxes for everyone as they start to run out of these nickel
and dime taxes that are going to drive everyone nuts.

:evil:
