He will have to! There aren't enough "rich" people making 250,000 and up a year to fund his programs, and the "poor" pay so little, if at all, in taxes.

The real goal was to tax those earning $75,000 yearly with the possibility of lowering that amount to $61,000. However, the average federal government employee earns $75,000, so it is unlikely that taxes will "appear" to increase on incomes less than $75.000.applause

Doesn't surprise me given the sway government employees have in influencing and drafting legislation. Thanks for the info!

The carbon tax credit will tax everyone up the butt.




Oh yeah, that 70 cent cigarette tax must be only on $250,000 wage earners. How does 7/11 know what to charge a person? Check their paystub? confused

A recession is when your neighbor doesn't have job.

A depression is when you don't have a job.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich
You cannot Strengthen the weak by weakening the strong
you cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling the wage payer down
You cannot further brother hood of man by inciting hatred
You cannot buils character and courage by taking away peoples initiative and independence
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them what they Could and should be doing for themselves...Abraham Lincoln...applause

You really are a rabble rouser aren't you? You title this thread as though it's a fact instead of your own personal vendetta against this president. You are so eaten up with hate you make Bush haters look meek. What's eating at your guts? Is it his color? Is it that your party lost?
I guess you intend to spend the next 3.5 years slamming him everyday hoping to win back the White house in 2012. It's my guess that if Obama wins re-election in 2012, which he probably will, your guts will explode.

Actually said by Rev. William Boetcker!


An outspoken political conservative, Rev. Boetcker is perhaps best remembered for his authorship of a pamphlet entitled The Ten Cannots. Originally published in 1916, it is often misattributed to Abraham Lincoln. The error apparently stems from a leaflet printed in 1942 by a conservative political organization called the Committee for Constitutional Government. The leaflet bore the title "Lincoln on Limitations" and contained some genuine Lincoln quotations on one side and the "Ten Cannots" on the other, with the attributions switched. The mistake of crediting Lincoln for having been the source of "The Ten Cannots" has been repeated many times since, most notably by Ronald Reagan in a speech he gave at the 1992 Republican convention in Houston.

Always glad to be of help! Leave Lincoln out of it!
