As long as congress keeps changing the start and end dates many of my clocks will be wrong for a few weeks. Even the GPS system in my car was off by an hour for a few weeks last year twice.
During the last presidential debate with GOP opponent John McCain, BHO repeatedly claimed that under his plan, the rich would pay "a little more" in taxes.
BHO has proposed increasing the top tax rate to 39.6 percent from 35 percent. He also has talked about extending Social Security taxes on those with incomes above $250,000. The Tax Policy Center noted that if BHO carried through on the idea, which is not included in his official plan, "the proposal could raise effective tax rates on labor income for high earners above 52 percent (and more than 55 percent for residents of states with high income taxes such as California)."
The Tax Policy Center also estimates that, under Plan Obama, 49 percent of Americans will not pay federal income taxes. So when Obama talks up his plan to send a $500 to $1,000 "rebate" to American taxpayers, he is talking welfare. And if half of American voters don't pay income taxes, then what is to stop them from raising taxes on the half that does? So much for Obama's 30-minute television commercial calling for a "new era of responsibility."
A lot of the BHO proposals don't add up but no one wants to listen. All the holes in his background that no one will investigate. Tales that should alarm us but the press ignores and gives him a pass. I could go on but whats the use ... he is anointed and so it goes.
I thought his recent statement about spreading the wealth around was most telling. I know I love working to support others who don't. Who wouldn't? It's a sure way to heaven.
Yes, there are a lot of holes in BHO's life story but the people who have the resources to dig out the truth seem bent on overlooking them. If BHO is elected I imagine things will be so bad that we will send him packing after one term.
