To Help you decide if earning that extra dollar is worth it or will cost you thousands..

The big driver in this however is the size of the household. For 2014, for the lower 48 states, the income thresholds are either the 100% or 133% level indicated in the table we've excerpted from the Tucson Citizen, and also the 400% level for middle-class households. (And because of how the law is set up, the 133% level is actually the 138% level, so if your state has acted to expand its Medicaid welfare program under the PPACA, multiply the 100% values in the table by 1.38. If not, use the 100% figures.) Regardless, households who find themselves just below these margins will be faced with some really perverse incentives to avoid doing anything to earn any extra income, unless they can earn a lot of extra income to more than compensate for the tax credit subsidy that they will lose.

It's the same perverse incentive that works to trap people into welfare programs for life. Only now, in the new age of ObamaCare, the politicians behind the law are out to trap the middle class in their snare.

Note that for a family of 4- you are still getting a subsidy up to $94,000. Just like SSI, this is designed to get more people hooked on their benefits and make them reluctant to push further to succeed, because otherwise they loose money. THis is nothing but monetary crack with a law that mandates you take it.
Just like the people trapped on Welfare. The elites don't want any more rich in their club. My guess is that too many Darkies were attending Liberal events for the KKK member's tastes.

Is it just me or is this meant to nail the so-called often-abused middle class?

Obama says he wants to help the middle class, and in a way he has to as they are the greatest contributors to the cash cow fro which he nutures his mob of the entitled.

but we all know that a self-sufficient person is the greatest threat to a tyrant. I think he is in another "box", the one that always dooms the socialist, that they need the product of the industrious in order to create their enslaved mob.
