WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) - A sweeping overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system to be announced on Tuesday in the U.S. House of Representatives will include a surtax on millionaires of 5.4 percent, congressional sources said.
The tax rate is higher than the 3 percent surtax lawmakers had been discussing earlier and would be imposed on those making more than $1 million a year, the sources said.

Brokeflyer you wanna take this one? You seem to have all the answers lately.
On the other hand, maybe browntothebone can write his congressman and get this law overturned seeing as how it's coming from congress and not the courts.

Florida had a sur tax like this. I didn't mind paying it one bit. Neither should anyone else fortunate enough to be making that amount of money.

I guess you are right ... I could just lay someone off to cover the increase ... so net, it won't cost a dime....

So says the "employee".
More class warfare. Until everyone pays, it will never be fare.

I know, I have some funny ideas. I also believe if you're a white male with at least a high school diploma and you're not a millionaire, you're under-achieving.

Maybe if we all agree to work for $18,000 per year they could lower the cost per hour and we could help subsidize their flying.

I am sure they would help us out if our cost of living went up.

If cap-and-trade and this health care crap pass we will all be out of jobs before long. It won't matter which fractional you work for. These policies Obama is proposing will have huge negative financial effects on the type of people and companies that use us.

C'mon Mitt Romney in 2012!!!! With his business background and his ability to match Obamanation's verbal skills, he's our ONLY hope.... How about we cut taxes so that people have more money to spend on US and other goods to drive industry production again? I guess that is too difficult for Barney "the idiot" Frank and Botox Pelosi to understand... Thank God Palin, Sanford and Ensign of Nevada have screwed their careers in the GOP - now Romney has a better chance.

I know what everyone says about Mormons and their chances for national office. But hey, if an African American can get voted into office, I'd say a Mormon probably has a chance too. Especially an articulate Mormon with a Harvard MBA who built a $1 billion fortune (Bain Capital). He certainly ain't perfect, but he probably understands how the economy works far, far better than Obama and his socialist cronies. That's my $0.02.

We just had 8 years of tax cuts by a president with a Harvard MBA and look at how great things are now.

This mess started well before that. Sub prime lending began back in the Clinton days. That's the root of our current economic problems. The Bush admin. obviously didn't try to fix the problem when they could have though.

Tax cuts did not cause a housing and financial services bubble, or its collapse...
