Hooray for Cabela's

Subject: Hooray for Cabela's



Unbelievable!! If you don't think the current administration is a complete bunch of crooks, read this entire email.  Among other things, they define a "gas guzzling automobile" as a medical device so they can charge a 2.3% excise tax for Obamacare!  Are we living in Russia or what? Hooray to Cabella's for showing them up.
Begin forwarded message:
  

The 2.3% Medical Excise Tax that began on January 1st is supposed to be "hidden" from the consumer, but it's been brought to the public's attention by hunting and fishing store Cabela's who have refused to hide it and are showing it as a separate line item tax on their receipts, the email states.
I did some research and found directly from the IRS's website information that PROVES this to be true and an accurate portrayal of something hidden in Obamacare that I was not aware of! Now being skeptical of this I went to the IRS website and found this!
Q1. What is the medical device excise tax? A1. Section 4191 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes an excise tax on the sale of certain medical devices by the manufacturer or importer of the device.
Q2. When does the tax go into effect? A2. The tax applies to sales of taxable medical devices after Dec. 31, 2012.
Q3. How much is the tax? A3. The tax is 2.3 percent of the sale price of the taxable medical device. See Chapter 5 of IRS Publication 510, Excise Taxes, and Notice 2012-77 for additional information on the determination of sale price.

So being more curious I clicked on "Chapter 5

of IRS Publication 510."

And what do I find under "MEDICAL DEVICES" under

"MANUFACTURERS TAXES"?

The following discussion of manufacturers taxes

applies to the tax on:

Sport fishing equipment;

Fishing rods and fishing poles;

Electric outboard motors;

Fishing tackle boxes;

Bows, quivers, broadheads, and points;

Arrow shafts;

Coal;

Taxable tires;

Gas guzzler automobiles; and

Vaccines.

IRS.gov  I think we have definitely been fooled, if we believe that the Affordable Care Act is all about health care. It
truly does appear to be nothing more than a bill
laden with a whole lot of taxes that we the people
have yet to be aware of.
Please pass this on . I am still incredulous that this can go on .Where is our press ? I guess it’s just like Nancy Pelosi said…….We have to pass it to see what is in it .What is next? What else is there we do not know about?  I am sick to death about our government……all of them!!!!!!
God help us .

Also hidden on this bill is the fact that Doctors can ask you, actually HAVE to ask you about what guns you own, what in the world do guns have to do with healthcare? Thia bill is not about health, it is just an excuse to pass more laws to enslave us thru taxation and keep us dumb down.
