Obama health care reform imposes 3.8% tax on all income from home sales and home rental income

Sept 26, 2010
The news about Obama’s health care reform just keeps getting worse — and we only find these things long after the bill has passed, of course. The newest revelation concerns a 3.8% tax on income from home sales and home rentals which will go into effect in 2013. (Note: This story has been updated to clarify who the 3.8% tax impacts, see below.)
Depending on your income level, this could end up costing you thousands of dollars from the sale of a home (even if you’re a middle-class income earner). It would also place a tax burden on all rental income from any home you might rent out to others.
How could this be? Because the new health care bill imposes a 3.8% tax on “unearned income” above a certain threshold (see below), which includes income from any source that you aren’t directly working for. This includes interest you receive on a savings account, dividends from stocks, rental income from a property you own, social security income, unemployment checks, child support and of course income from home sales.
While this tax is supposed to be targeted to “the rich” with a threshold of $250,000 in unearned income, it can very easily hit middle-class income families who sell a house with a gain, forcing them to pay the 3.8% on a portion of their gain.
There is a lot of debate on the ‘net about who this affects and exactly how this is calculated. That’s actually part of the problem: Sorting out what the law actually says is a bit of an accounting nightmare. As Nancy Pelosi said, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it…”
As an article on Spokesman.com explains: “Middle-income people must pay the full tax even if they are ‘rich’ for only one day — the day they sell their house and buy a new one.”
For further clarification, see http://www.spokesman.com/stories/20… which states, “ObamaCare imposes a 3.8 percent annual tax on investment income of individuals making $200,000 or more and on families making $250,000 or more. The new tax is not indexed to inflation, so more people will fall under it each year. Seniors on fixed incomes and people with IRAs and 401(k) plans will be hit particularly hard.”
And where is this money going? To pay for more sick care surgeries, pharmaceuticals, chemotherapy treatments, diabetes drugs, cholesterol drugs, mammograms and other virtually useless disease “treatments” that only enrich the medical industry while doing nothing to help real people.
There’s never enough money to pay for disease
This 3.8% tax on unearned income from home sales and other sources is just the beginning, of course. You see, in a nation that has chosen to bet its future on a drugs-and-surgery approach to health care, there’s never enough money to pay for disease.
Treating disease is wildly more expensive than preventing disease in the first place. But treatment is also wildly profitable, thrusting billions of dollars worth of profits into the hands of drug companies, cancer clinics and radiation machine manufacturers. The entire health care reform bill, it turns out, was designed to keep these dark, dangerous industries rolling in the dough while confiscating the money to pay for it all from U.S. homeowners, investors and social security recipients.
But if people will swallow 3.8%, why not raise it to 9%? Or 18%?
That’s where this is headed because — once again — there’s never enough money to pay for disease in a nation that refuses to legalize free speech about the scientifically proven benefits of nutrition and natural health products.
Mark my words: Unless America radically alters its approach to health care and starts focusing on HEALTH instead of disease “treatment,” Big Government will only find new ways to confiscate more money from the people.
Remember, too, that this money is going into the hands of the super wealthy drug companies, cancer clinics and surgery centers of our nation. In effect, Big Government is confiscating money from the working poor and handing it over to the super rich while calling it “health care.”
Meanwhile, those who actually decide to take care of their health and avoid diseases by making healthy choices in their lives are penalized the most! The more you work, save and invest, the more you’re punished by the government. The only way to get a “free ride” is to stop working, stop taking care of yourself and just let everybody else pick up the bill for your sickness and poverty.
Destroying America’s economy one tax at a time
The worst part about this 3.8% Medicare tax is that it punishes savings and investment. At a time when the national savings rate is less than zero and when people desperately need jobs, this is a devastating blow.
New jobs, you see, come from new businesses. And new businesses can only be funded from savings and investment. But if no one is saving money (or investing it), then there are no new companies. Hence, no new jobs, either.
To place the burden of a “sick care tax” on savings and investment in America is to suppress job creation at precisely the time when we need it most.
Confiscation to pay for sick care doesn’t work in the long run
That Big Government now resorts to confiscating money from home sales and savings account income is a sign of its sheer desperation.
Trapped in a downward spiral of sick-care spending and bankruptcy, America’s politicians haven’t yet grasped the simplicity of a plan that would save lives, save money and save America’s future: The natural health plan.
Read my free report “Nutrition Can Save America” for a primer on this concept: http://www.naturalnews.com/report_N…
To really save America from sick care bankruptcy, somebody in Washington needs to:
• Repeal the ill-conceived health care reform bill
• Establish health freedom protections for herbs, vitamins, supplements and superfoods
• Dismantle or radically reform the FDA to end its tyranny over the natural products industry
• Outlaw dangerous food ingredients that promote disease (such as sodium nitrite, HFCS, partially-hydrogenated oils, etc.)
… and much more. Essentially, America needs to abandon the conventional medical system that isn’t working and embrace holistic medicine which is cheaper (by far!), safer, more effective and even better for the environment.
That’s the mission of NaturalNews, by the way: To see America regain her health through holistic nutrition, public education, natural disease prevention and a pursuit of lifelong health and happiness. You can help by spreading the word about this 3.8% tax on home sales and rental income. Let people know how bad things are becoming now in our “sick-care nation” that will inevitably find itself bankrupt if it doesn’t change course.

Intelligence Report Envisions “Designing Humans With Unique Abilities” Under Global Governance Regime
Intelligence Report Envisions “Designing Humans With Unique Abilities” Under Global Governance Regime
Intelligence Report Envisions “Designing Humans With Unique Abilities” Under Global Governance Regime

Recently a document was disclosed by the grace of the Freedom of Information Act entitled Global Governance 2025: At a Critical Juncture. The document, written by the American National Intelligence Council (NIC) and the European Union’s Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), outlines the agenda from now to 2025 for global government.
It discusses the many obstacles in the quest for achieving global government and discusses the possibility, the desirability, of “designing humans with unique physical, emotional, or cognitive abilities.”
“While not being policy prescriptive, the report shares a strong belief—as exemplified by multilateralist approaches of the US and EU governments to resolving global problems such as the recent financial crisis—that global challenges will require global solutions.”, the document reads.
Stressing that issues such as proliferation and cybersecurity are already subject to sufficient international cooperation, the document states:
“(…) we focus on such issues as intrastate conflict, resource management, migration, and biotechnology.
Although recognized by many as ongoing challenges, we believe the long-term impact of these issues on the strength of the international order has not been fully appreciated.”
Recognizing that the push for global governance (which is a euphemism for global government) is meeting with increasing resistance worldwide, the authors blame a “multipolar world” for this fact:
“Diverse perspectives and suspicions about global governance, which is seen as a Western concept, will add to the difficulties of effectively mastering the growing number of challenges.”
The document also recognizes international unease with large-scale military adventures- “if (…) driven by the “West””. Furthermore, it proposes an “overall framework to manage the interrelated problems of food, water and energy.”
“Other over-the-horizon issues”, the document goes on to say, “—migration, the potential opening of the Arctic, and risks associated with the biotechnology revolution—are likely to rise in importance and demand a higher level of cooperation. These issues are difficult ones for multilateral cooperation because they involve more preventive action. Under current circumstances, greater cooperation on those issues in which the risks are not clear-cut will be especially difficult to achieve.”
The document goes on to outline several “potential scenarios” of future developments that may threaten the “international system”, the first being that “formal institutions remain largely unreformed and Western states probably must shoulder a disproportionate share of “global governance” as developing countries prevent disruptions at home. This future is not sustainable over the longer term as it depends on no crisis being so unmanageable as to overwhelm the international system.”
The second scenario projected is that of “fragmentation”, or “Powerful states and regions try to wall themselves off from outside threats.”
The third scenario is the most worrisome- not according to the authors of the document, but to all of free humanity:
“Under this scenario, severe threats to the international system—possibly a looming environmental disaster or a conflict that risks spreading—prompt greater cooperation on solving global problems. Significant reform of the international system becomes possible. Although less likely than the first two scenarios in the immediate future, such a scenario might prove the best outcome over the longer term, building a resilient international system that would step up the level of overall cooperation on an array of problems. The US increasingly shares power while China and India increase their burden sharing and the EU takes on a bigger global role.
A stable concert could also occur incrementally over a long period in which economic gaps shrink and per capita income converges.”
Mentioning the possibility- even desirability- of a “looming
environmental disaster” or conflict as a means to establish world government is the preferred path ahead, according to the authors. But, even more disturbing that global governance to “combat” looming threats, is the possibility and desirability of “designing humans with unique physical, emotional, or cognitive abilities”, pondered upon by the US and EU intelligence councils.”
Here is the quote in full:
“In addition, biotechnology—which the OECD thinks will potentially boost the GDPs of its members—can drive new forms of human behavior and association, creating profound cross cultural ethical questions that will be increasingly politically contentious. Few experts believe that current governance instruments are adequate for those challenges. For example, direct modification of DNA at fertilization is widely researched with a goal of removing defective genes; however, discussions of future capabilities open the possibility for designing humans with unique physical, emotional, or cognitive abilities.”
There it is. The document is upfront about it. “Current governance instruments” are insufficient for the goals of the global elite. To facilitate “designing humans with unique physical, emotional, or cognitive abilities” a global framework is needed.

9/11: Pentagon Aircraft Hijack Impossible - Pilots For 9/11 Truth Forum
9/11: Pentagon Aircraft Hijack Impossible - Pilots For 9/11 Truth Forum
9/11: PENTAGON AIRCRAFT HIJACK IMPOSSIBLE
FLIGHT DECK DOOR CLOSED FOR ENTIRE FLIGHT
(PilotsFor911Truth.org) - Newly decoded data provided by an independent researcher and computer programmer from Australia exposes alarming evidence that the reported hijacking aboard American Airlines Flight 77 was impossible to have existed. A data parameter labeled "FLT DECK DOOR", cross checks with previously decoded data obtained by Pilots For 9/11 Truth from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) through the Freedom Of Information Act.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 77 departed Dulles International Airport bound for Los Angeles at 8:20 am Eastern Time. According to reports and data, a hijacking took place between 08:50:54 and 08:54:11[1] in which the hijackers allegedly crashed the aircraft into the Pentagon at 09:37:45. Reported by CNN, according to Ted Olson, wife Barbara Olson had called him from the reported flight stating, "...all passengers and flight personnel, including the pilots, were herded to the back of the plane by armed hijackers..."[2]. However, according to Flight Data provided by the NTSB, the Flight Deck Door was never opened in flight. How were the hijackers able to gain access to the cockpit, remove the pilots, and navigate the aircraft to the Pentagon if the Flight Deck Door remained closed?[3]
Founded in August 2006, Pilots For 9/11 Truth is a growing organization of aviation professionals from around the globe. The organization has analyzed Data provided by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for the Pentagon Attack, the events in Shanksville, PA and the World Trade Center attack. The data does not support the government story. The NTSB/FBI refuse to comment. Pilots For 9/11 Truth do not offer theory or point blame at this point in time. However, there is a growing mountain of conflicting information and data in which government agencies and officials along with Mainstream Media refuse to acknowledge.

Polysorbate 80 In Swine Flu Vaccines = Infertility In Humans
Polysorbate 80 In Swine Flu Vaccines = Infertility In Humans
Would you feel comfortable being injected with a vaccine that contains a substance that has been strongly linked to infertility? Well, if you take the Fluarix swine flu vaccine manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline or any of the other swine flu vaccines that contain Polysorbate 80 that is exactly what you will be doing. If you are considering getting the swine flu vaccine, or any other vaccine for that matter, perhaps you should educate yourself about EXACTLY what is in these vaccines before you allow them to be injected into your body.
Perhaps you think that linking the swine flu vaccine with infertility is quite a stretch. Well, let's take this one step at a time.
#1) Polysorbate 80 is in the Fluarix swine flu vaccine manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline according to the CDC. This is confirmed by the CDC in the document below.....
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-2.pdf
#2) A medical study done in Slovakia injected newborn female rats with Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80). These newborn female rats were injected with Polysorbate 80 at days 4 to 7 after birth. The researchers found that Polysorbate 80 accelerated the maturation of the female rats, damaged the vagina and womb lining, caused significant hormonal changes, severe ovary deformities and ultimately rendered the young female rats infertile.
In fact, Dee Nicholson, the National Communications Director for Freedom in Canadian Health Care is not shy about saying that Polysorbate 80 is "linked to infertility in mice".
#3) In the package insert for Fluarix, GlaxoSmithKline specifically mentions that they cannot guarantee that their flu vaccine will not damage your fertility: "FLUARIX has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility." Thanks to foolishly passed laws by the U.S. government, you will not be able to sue anyone if it does leave you infertile.
#4) GlaxoSmithKline is not alone in using Polysorbate 80. It is being reported that Novartis is using the adjuvant MF59 in its swine flu vaccine. The MF59 adjuvant contains Tween80 (Polysorbate 80) and squalene among other things.
#5) On the World Intellectual Property Organization, a patent application for a "fertility impairing vaccine". The University of Georgia Research Foundation is listed as the patent applicant.
In the description section of the patent application, Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) is listed as a preferred ingredient:
"In a preferred embodiment the vaccine comprises oil, preferably a biodegradable oil such as squalene oil, in an amount of about 2.5% to about 15%, preferably about 8% to about 12%. In preparing the vaccine it is advantageous to combine a concentrated oily adjuvant composition with an aqueous solution of the antigen, pZP glycoprotein. Typically, the vaccine is prepared using an adjuvant concentrate which contains lecithin (about 5% to about 15 % wt/vol, preferably about 12% wt/vol) and STDCM (preferably about 25 mg/mL to about 50 mg/mL) in squalene oil. The term % wt/vol means grams per 100 mL of liquid. The aqueous solution containing the isolated pZP glycoprotein is typically a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution, and additionally preferably contains Tween 80 (about 0.2% vol/vol to about 0.8% vol/vol, preferably about 0.4% vol/vol)."
#6) The United Nations is actively seeking ways to limit and control population growth around the globe. An incredibly shocking U.N. population division policy brief from March 2009 asked this very disturbing question:
What would it take to accelerate fertility decline in the least developed countries?
You can read this almost unbelievable document here:
http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/UNPD_policybriefs/UNPD_policy_brief1.pdf
The reality is that for the super wealthy global elite and the majority of the social engineers at the United Nations, population control is a major obsession. If you doubt this fact, just read this article:
http://signsofthelastdays.com/archives/the-radical-population-control-and-eugenics-agenda-of-the-global-elite
The truth is that the more people learn about what is in these vaccines, the less likely they are to take them. It is important to do your own research before letting anyone inject anything into your body. Those who blindly trust the government or world health authorities are likely the ones to end up being extremely disappointed in the end.

British monarch 'asked for heating handout' - Yahoo! Canada News
British monarch 'asked for heating handout' - Yahoo! Canada News
LONDON (AFP) - Queen Elizabeth II asked the British government for money from a fund for poor people to help pay heating bills on her palaces, a newspaper reported on Friday.
The request was rebuffed because officials feared the news would be a public relations disaster for the monarch, according to the Independent, which learned of the request under Freedom of Information legislation.
Royal aides complained to ministers in 2004 that the queen's gas and electricity bills had increased by 50 percent and were now "untenable", costing more than one million pounds (1.5 million dollars, 1.2 million euros) a year.
Aides said the 15-million-pound state grant the queen received for the upkeep of the palaces was inadequate and asked if the royal family was eligible for special funds to replace four combined heat and power units at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
The money would come from a government scheme to fund heating programmes that benefit people on low incomes.
According to the Independent, the then Labour government initially agreed to the idea but then changed its mind.
An official wrote to the palace pointing out the fund's intended purpose, adding: "I also feel a bit uneasy about the probable adverse press coverage if the palace were given a grant at the expense of, say, a hospital."
Buckingham Palace refused to comment on the report.

T-mobile admits to censoring text messages - The Inquirer
T-mobile admits to censoring text messages - The Inquirer
By Lawrence Latif
Thu Sep 23 2010, 17:05 MOBILE OPERATOR T-Mobile has admitted that it picks and chooses which text messages to deliver on its network.
The admission came in legal case in which the mobile operator is being sued by the short-code text service EZ Text. The text marketing firm, which signed up a California marijuana dispensary found that it fell afoul of T-Mobile's apparently secret guidelines.
T-Mobile said that it reserved the right to pre-approve EZ Text's clients, a list of which it says the firm never submitted. In the New York federal court filing, T-Mobile said it requires pre-approval "to protect the carrier and its customers from potentially illegal, fraudulent, or offensive marketing campaigns conducted on its network".
Although one might understand T-Mobile wanting to cover its back with some sort of vetting procedure, the idea that certain text messages can be discarded without any notice is something that will concern its subscribers. That T-Mobile doesn't make the process as transparent as it should be raises the question of possible censorship.
EZ Text is hoping that the federal judge assigned to the case comes up with an answer soon, as it says that T-Mobile's actions are likely to run it out of business.
For T-Mobile, the admission that it can censor text messages is likely to cast a bright light on what other sources, message contents and destinations it deems to fall under its "discretion".

Thu Sep 23 2010, 17:05 MOBILE OPERATOR T-Mobile has admitted that it picks and chooses which text messages to deliver on its network.
The admission came in legal case in which the mobile operator is being sued by the short-code text service EZ Text. The text marketing firm, which signed up a California marijuana dispensary found that it fell afoul of T-Mobile's apparently secret guidelines.
T-Mobile said that it reserved the right to pre-approve EZ Text's clients, a list of which it says the firm never submitted. In the New York federal court filing, T-Mobile said it requires pre-approval "to protect the carrier and its customers from potentially illegal, fraudulent, or offensive marketing campaigns conducted on its network".

Canadians To Be Vaccinated With Live H1N1 Virus with MSG For The 2010/11 Flu Season
Canadians To Be Vaccinated With Live H1N1 Virus with MSG For The 2010/11 Flu Season

The Public Health Agency of Canada has once again given their seal of approval for the injection of a dangerous cocktail of toxic chemicals they call a trivalent vaccine. The 2010/11 recipients of AstraZeneca’s FLUMIST will be exposed to several strains of live viruses including H1N1 and H3N2. The vaccine also contains MSG and other known neurotoxins and immunotoxins.
Similar to last year’s Arepanrix Vaccine, FLUMIST was approved without evaluating its safety and effectiveness on a single Canadian.
The vaccines are especially being promoted for children since the nasal spray vaccine can be marketed as less invasive due its intranasal delivery that does not require needles. Ontario’s chief medical officer of health said a non-injectable vaccine is an “attractive option.” The product has been on the U.S. market for the last seven years.
AstraZeneca Canada is currently ensuring that all Canadian pharmacies are making preparations to stock the vaccine this fall. The influenza vaccine will be one of several vaccines to be offered on the Canadian market.
On August 26, 2010, Health Canada issued a Notice of Decision to AstraZeneca Canada for the FLUMIST vaccine.
The FLUMIST Trivalent vaccine product information:
Three Live Viruses:
- Influenza Virus Type A (H1N1);
- Influenza Virus Type A (H3N2); and
- Influenza Virus Type B
Route of Administration:
Intranasal Spray
Dosage Strength:
0.2 mL
Clinically Relevant Nonmedicinal Ingredients
- Gelatin hydrolysate (porcine Type A)
- sucrose
- arginine
- gentamicin
Additional Toxic Ingredients:
- Monobasic potassium phosphate: Immunotoxin
- Arginine hydrochloride: Toxic to lungs and mucous membranes
- Monosodium glutamate: Neurotoxin, Excitotoxin
- Gentamicin: Nephrotoxic
Discussion
There are currently NO clinical trials or results which have validated the long-term safety and efficacy of the FLUMIST vaccine. Regulatory health agencies are refusing to acknowledge this fact or the nature of toxicity levels associated with the FLUMIST and its ingredients. The well documented toxicity evidence for each ingredient presented above are simply ignored.
If you’ll notice, most of the ingredients that are considered non-clinically relevant excipients are ALL TOXIC and yet still injected in every person that receives the vaccine.
No Pharmacokinetic, Carcinogenic or Fertility Studies
One of the most critical elements which defines the toxicity potential of any vaccine are its pharmacokinetic properties. AstraZeneca and Medimmune do not consider the study, analysis or evaluation of the pharmacokinetic properties of any vaccine ingredients or excipients including FLUMIST. This means that the bodily absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of ingredients within the vaccine are not known or even considered in safety assessments.
FLUMIST has not been evaluated for its carcinogenic or mutagenic potential or its potential to impair fertility. There have also been NO animal reproduction studies or studies in pregnant or lactating women and it is not known whether FLUMIST is excreted in human milk..
Hospitalizations and Deaths
An increased rate of hospitalizations (for any cause) through 180 days after final vaccination dose of FLUMIST was observed in children 6-11 months of age.
There were eight deaths reported within 180 days of FLUMIST
dosing. Of the 8 deaths, 4 occurred within 42 days after the last dose of FLUMIST. 43 and 180 days after FLUMIST dosing, deaths were due to diarrhea and sepsis, encephalopathy, suffocation, and posterior fossa tumor and malignant hyperthermia.
Adverse Reactions
- Pain
- Redness
- Swelling
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Arthralgia (joint inflammation)
- Myalgia (muscle inflammation)
- Shivering
- Sweating
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Fever
- Vomiting
- Tingling or numbness of the hands or feet
- Shortness of breath
- Vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels)
Serious Adverse Reactions
Congenital, familial and genetic:
- Exacerbation of symptoms of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy (Leigh syndrome)
Immune system:
- Anaphylactic reactions, facial edema and urticaria
Nervous system:
- Guillain-Barré syndrome, Bell’s Palsy
Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal:
- Epistaxis
Skin and subcutaneous tissue:
- Rash
The information above clearly demonstrates that the Public Health Agency of Canada and Health Canada have no interest in meeting some of the most basic precautions to safeguard the health of Canadians.
Last year, just as flu activity increased across Canada, federal authorities warned Canadians not to buy natural remedies and to strictly confide in the anti-viral drugs and vaccines authorized by Health Canada.
172,000 doses were eventually recalled and withdrawn after serious adverse reactions, notably in the heart and lungs, and hundreds of deaths were reported.
Please protect yourself naturally from the flu. Learn what colds and flus really are and use common sense to best of your ability.
