Basically we are looking at very high taxes for all americans. look at the cap and trade and then the healthcare that he how is willing to raise taxes. Some will be paying taxes for the first time. Then many will see programs reductions like in medicare and medicaid. that is just so far. I can see that we will get to a 30% average income tax rate like europe and alot would be income tax;it will be passed on as higher prices for goods.

Get ready for more jobs losses and expensive heating for the winter thanks to Obama.

Libs passed an Obama bill yesterday that will cause layoffs in the coal mines that are working.

Thanks to Obama, we just might hit one million lost jobs under this moron.

If we don't get this jerk ( Barack ) out of office in three and a half years, America will be destroyed.

Redistribution of wealth? To the point where there is no wealth at all?

OK. Knock it off. No more I believe in Obama crap. The man is a SOCIALIST. How many czars do we need?

When a kid enters college and obtains his/her first credit card, they don't really know about responsibility. They spend on that card and then find out that they have to pay on time for their new Apple laptop, and then for their new I-pod and groceries.

Young people vote with the same thing in mind. Give me something glittery. Most of them couldn't point out Iran on a map. Before I get attacked by the left about the intelligence of our youth, I will admit that some folks in their 20's know where Iran is.

But, most of them vote irresponsibly. Not knowing jack about how it will affect their own freedom.

I guess I won't apologize for these statements. If you're going to age .... you might as well grow up. And think about the consequences of voting for people who will screw America in the end.

Get a clue. And get it fast.

Lots of people over 30 voted for him, too (and probably for less glittery reasons I suspect). Just wanted to point that out.

Young people, of course, will wind up paying the biggest price for Obama's outrageous policies. They will be the ones who will have to fork over 3/4 of their income in taxes. They will be the ones who will have to work in government controlled/created jobs, busting their tails every day to make sure that the super powerful stay super powerful and the very poor are well provided for...

Do you think the Democratic party is passing these horrendous policies on purpose (i.e. trying to destroy the country on purpose)? It's hard for me to accept that anyone (including elected officials) could be stupid enough to think these policies will be good for America. I feel like there are two explanations, both of which are hard to swallow:

1. The elected officials from the (D) party are complete morons

OR

2. They are passing disastrous policies on purpose (knowing full well how the policies will hurt the country).

Agreed!

Dead on right. They are doing it on purpose and selling us out for a reason.
When American is down and out people tend to vote for liberals because they love to rape and steal from the rich and successful and hand it to the poor and non successful.

Liberals love power and Obama wants to control your every move, he cannot do that if you have anything of value or can fight back.

They are doing this all on purpose and for a reason.

I have been living in a United States that has been economically raped for the last 40 years by a bunch of rapacious Republicans. I want to destroy the America we have had since Ronnie Raygun and recover the one we had under Eisenhower and Kennedy. I got tired of steadily losing ground and helped elect Obama. I am glad he won.

When our currency is wiped out (thanks to Obama's reckless spending), you may not be so glad he won. If he is so great, why have we lost over 2 million jobs since his Inauguration despite the trillions of dollars he has flushed down the toilet?
