If Obama suddenly started pushing through the Republican agenda, i guarantee a significant portion of Conservatives would now support Democrat positions.
In 4 years the rich have gotten richer and the middle class has lost wealth.
What conservatives have claimed about Obama and who he is going after is right in front of your face now that 4 years have passed.

Exactly, this administration knows that people in the middle class do not understand the differences so they dangle a nice high number out there claiming they are rich and promoting class warfare against them. Of course if you make $50K and are not educated in financial matters including the tax code it is easy for Obama to use propaganda, lies to pull the wool over people eyes. People need to ignore the propaganda, educate themselves which would also be to them financially anyway.

Hope you're feeling smug now with your all encompassing absolute knowledge of what is happening.

As I just pointed out a few posts ago, widows and disabled receiving income from Trusts set up for them will pay these new high taxes on anything above $11,000. That is a far cry from the $450K we were told.

wow, that is criminal. I always say never vote for a politician who runs on increasing taxes on anyone because it always ends up getting you. I couldn't believe that people bought into Obama's BS. Too bad people let Obama play on emotions and envy instead of saying, no you get enough money from the people and you need to get your spending under control before you hit us up for more. Obviously the people who voted for Obama will pay for their mistake. Unfortunately, the people who didn't vote for him will also pay for Obama supporters mistake too.

I just threw your insults back on your face, and it seems to have worked since you admitted it was smug. even this comment drips with sarcasm, disrespect and smugness. Are you really so smart that you are in position to sling crap like that?

The problem is you're just bringing up something you have no intention or desire to fix. Your "criticism" rings hollow b/c conservative policy would leave us exactly in the same position as Obama's.

And this has been my criticism of Obama & Conservatives for years.
