Norquist: Obama Lied When He Passed ObamaCare, Saying Only Rich People Would Pay Taxes

EXCERPT:

NORQUIST: "Yeah it hits just about all of them. There may be one or two small ones that don’t but they all go away. It is about 900 billion to a trillion dollars over a decade. It is a significant reduction in the tax burden. What the president said that wasn’t true is what he said that wasn’t true when he sold us ObamaCare, that only rich people will pay these taxes. The taxes we’re repealing include Obama’s taxes on flexible savings accounts --" 
VARNEY: "Yeah." 
NORQUIST: "-- that you can’t use them to buy over-the-counter medicines; 30 million people have flexible savings accounts, and are damaged by ObamaCare taxes. Those are going away. The taxes on health savings accounts, also, hit 20 million Americans. This idea that Obama, that somehow he was only taxing the Kennedy kids and not the rest of us was not accurate. The -- about six million people, maybe eight million people are paying that penalty tax because they don’t want to buy ObamaCare because it is not worth what he priced it at, so they would rather pay a tax and penalty, millions of Americans. Those are not rich people. Those are lower, middle income people damaged by ObamaCare taxes. Those taxes on insurance companies, those aren't taxes on your insurance premiums, that raise the cost of your health care. These are the taxes that we’re getting rid of, when we reform, reform health care and, block grant out to the states' Medicaid so 50 states can do something more confidentially than the one-size-fits-all Washington."
VARNEY: "Hmm, that's interesting."
NORQUIST: "So president’s repeating the lie he told earlier when he said he wasn’t going to ask anybody earned less than 250,000 to ever pay taxes. It wasn’t true then. It isn’t true now."
