[QUOTE=ZeroJunk;357309]The problem then is the same as it is with the ACA. It is a one trillion dollar tax on the middle class.QUOTE]
Zero, would you please post your facts showing this? I ask because I posted my set of facts here...
AGAIN

Here is a nice little graph from the Congressional Budget Office, ZeroJunk. Do you again want to repeat that the middle class bear the brunt of ObamaCare costs? You are using the Republican strategy of projecting an improperly analyzed cause/effect relationship to achieve political talking points.
The middle class is bearing a larger PROPORTION of taxes, as the progressive nature of the tax base is reduced for the very wealthy(under the guise that the wealthy will magically transform into job creators,) while ignoring the fact that the middle class has seen a stagnant hourly wage over the past 45 years.
It is not taxes that are decimating the middle class, it is the lack of wealth transference coupled with earning stagnation. ACA is but a bandaid in the longterm economic process for the US.
Meanwhile, the wealthy are happily standing in line, eager for the coming tax cuts and increasing wealth disparity the Republicans are promising.
And please do provide your synopsis of that tax graph, specifically.
