The average person does not see the effects of overtaxing the "rich" either.

When people, even the average person, does not have as much money, they spend less of it in the local community.
We saw how badly this hurt in 1993.....

I wonder how people like dukester knows that all teapartiers watch Fox and/or listen to conservative radio. God forbid a person decide on their own that Obama's big government is wrong.

I'm not lying. I heard him say no new taxes on people that make less then $250,000. If he said anything about single people I didn't hear it.

Sure, duckster. keep quacking. You have no clue what you are talking about. That has always been obvious.

I'd trust anything from the Heritage Foundation befor anything from you, or the Obama administration.

The administaration lies. And you? Fill in the blank.

I don't think I've ever seen such a petty, petulant little man occupy the most powerful seat in the world.

I hope he is extremely amused come November.

You actually dare to compare Bush to Obama in spending? Do you know the difference?

I wasn't a supporter of the Bush spending; but you cannot compare Obama's to Bushe's spending.

Bush was a fiscal consrevative compared to this ass. Are you saying you support this? Yet you dare to criticize Bush?

While Obama is giving and handing out tax credits he is also increasing taxes all over the place hes increased taxes to a total of over 670 Billion dollars so no people arent lying when they say hes also increased taxes

Do smokers earn less then 250K Just askin
