I get a kick out of Obama's campaign ad in which he contrasts his vision for America with Romney's. In summary he says all we need to do is tax the rich more and we'll have all this money to pay down the debt and do all kinds of other wonderful things. This just shows how unserious this hipster president is. Obama's tax-the-rich plan is projected to bring in an additional $800 billion in tax revenue over ten years. Sounds like a lot, right? But that translates into $80 billion a year--just enough to fund federal spending for 8 days per year at the rate of spending that Obama has engaged in for the past three and a half years. This "plan" is pure snake oil and Obama is betting that the American voter is too stupid to notice. What a disgrace he is. We have huge problems in this country and the only solution Obama can come up with is this class warfare tripe? God help us.
At least it is a start in the correct direction. I would add tariffs and special taxes on money made overseas as well as eliminating the upper limit on Social Security taxes. I would be pleased when the median US income became much closer to the mean preferably by raising the lowest and cutting the highest.
Obama's plan is quite simple, keep the people dependent and helpless, useless and non responsible. The Obama Mantra. He has neither turned things around, or given to us the people unity, more violence and division.
He has given us more debt not less, higher unemployment then he promised all of us, businesses are not prospering, but closing doors, not because of a prosperous ecnomy. Worse housing criris at any other given time, and no ending in sight.
We have more Homeless Children, People on Welfare and Food Stmaps then any other time, and Obama feels that this is the way to get us out of trouble. Really now? This is not a record i would be proud of or have pride in.
