Remember this little quote, screamed from every person in the USA not too many years ago?

"Its the economy stupid"!!!

The taxes that are about to be imposed is the reason the economy is in the tank!!

If you don't pay taxes you go to jail. Mr Obama is going to "force" everyone in this country to buy healthcare whether they like it or want or not.. or go to jail and pay huge fines. Would you not consider that a tax?? I damn sure would.

I can think of a few more programs that will be forced on us by him and his cronies. Right after he is voted out of office that is..If ObamaCare took hold right now people would be rioting in the streets, but it will take place after he is gone, so no worries.

Have you gone shopping lately? Inflation by way of massive spending accomplishes the same result as raising taxes. It devalues our purchasing power and raises the government's purchasing power.

we already have people claiming that he raised their capital gains rate, their federal income tax rate, and their property tax rate. they sure come out the woodwork on the P&OC. there should have been an option for, "He killed my dog."

The SCHIP legislation he signed into law in February, 2009 contained tax increases of 2,159% on loose cigarette tobacco and 2,653% on cigarellos. These are the two largest tax increases in United States history. I'll say that again: These are the two largest tax increases in United States history.

That's a long way from "Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."

Obama proved himself a liar and a proponent of astronomical tax increases in his first month in office. This is a simple fact and cannot be disputed.

Good, that should mean less people will use cancer sticks and I won't have to see so many littering the streets and sidewalks.
