Middle Class? How About No Class?

Who's hurting the middle class?

Tax penalty to hit nearly 6M uninsured people
Nearly 6 million Americans — significantly more than first estimated— will face a tax penalty under President Barack Obama's health overhaul for not getting insurance, congressional analysts said Wednesday. Most would be in the middle class.

The new estimate amounts to an inconvenient fact for the administration, a reminder of what critics see as broken promises.
The numbers from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office are 50 percent higher than a previous projection by the same office in 2010, shortly after the law passed.

Average penalty: about $1,200 in 2016.
And who's out of touch with the middle class?

Beyoncé & Jay-Z host NY Bam ba$h
Nix the flags and the podium. Cue the opulent 18-foot tower of gold-bottled French champagne.

When President Obama addresses an elite roster of hipsters and multimillionaires, including hosts Beyoncé and Jay-Z, in New York tonight, he will do so next to a custom-designed tower of $800-per-bottle champagne that dominates the main room at Jay-Z’s 40/40 nightclub.
But the White House, which meticulously controls Obama’s image, is not expected to release any photos of the president’s appearance at the lavish club.
Details of the party are “under lock and key,” according to the rep, and the White House was guarding the guest list as if it were the latest intelligence profile of Iran’s nuclear program.

All the campaign would say yesterday was that the president would speak to about 100 people at the $40,000-per-person event, after addressing 200 donors at a $12,500-per-family reception at the Waldorf.
Protector of the middle class ... most transparent administration ever ... yeah, right...

I called Rumor Control at the DOJ, they'd neither confirm nor deny that obumma signed an Executive Order that moved all the gold at Fort Knox, and each of the Federal Reserve Buildings, to a vault in the basement of a Chicago Hotel. I think he plans on retiring. When asked if obumma's schedule was open on Valentines Day 2013 they said he was booked solid, they wouldn't say where. (Better buy a new matress while I can;-)

Instead of gold and silver, I'm investing in brass and lead.
