After all, “the rich” can afford it. “The rich” won’t have to change their lifestyle. “The rich” only got rich on the backs of the working man anyway. What they didn’t realize is that they are “the rich”.

** “The rich” == anyone who is not receiving government aid or a union member.

This news is only a surprise to the gullible and the stupid, which describes the majority of Obama voters. Everyone else knows that the dems always raise taxes on the middle class, because that’s where the money is.I knew when Obama promised only to raise taxes on the “rich” that he was lying.

Almost everyone I know has a negative tax or whatever it’s called where they get more back than they paid or they paid 0 and get back thousands. I only know a few men that pay taxes.

I seem to recall some politician making that very promise. I wonder who it was….

I wonder if the voers who were actually naive enought to believe this Marxist will remember in 2012? Will the Republican candidate remind them?

1>Expiration of Bush tax cuts will be an effective tax increase.
2>Inflation, rise in interest rates, fall in the value of dollar will be as bad as tax increase.
3>Taxing health care benefits will be as bad as tax increase.
4>Crap-And-Raid is as good as tax increase. The impact this disastrous bill is going to have on the local economy will be huge. Apart from energy costs to average energy consumers the ripple effect(in terms of product costs) is going to be huge. And we will see energy consuming industries getting killed in a global market.

And on top of it all Tax hikes are coming. They were always on the cards despite what Obama said in his campaign.

The longest LAME DUCKS EVERY TO BE IN OFFICE.
We just have to keep the pressure on. Truth will win out.
Show up at the Democrats town hall meeting and ask the questions media should be asking.
We need to keep pressing the advertisers on the alphabet Networks to let them know we aren’t interested in purchasing things for sale by them if they are puttin advertising dollars in tha MSM News Stations. It time to put the majority in Action against the foney fraudulent spending and liesw the last 5 months.

… and George did a good job pressing A-rod for an answer… that never came. A-rod dodged it like the weasel he is.

The truth is Obama will do anything to pass anything. Obama doesn’t care about campaign pledges. He breaks those every day. The only thing Obama concerns himself with is pushing a radical socialistic agenda down the throats of Americans wether we like it or not.

And since the administration has re-defined the definition of “bipartisanship” to technical changes made to a bill, we can only look forward to 4 years of spin and havoc.

How did his supporter think all these programs were gonna get paid for? By magic? When taxes go up along with unemployment we’ll see how the hopenchange works out for them.

on the middle class to pay for all of these mindless programs. When it happens, I trust the Republicans will be as unrelenting as the Democrats were when George H.W. Bush reneged on his no new taxes pledge. I believe this would be the tipping point for many Americans sick of paying for government program after government program.

We should get a good test this week with the state of California’s troubles. The Dems voted for more tax increases. Arnold vetoed those increases.

When the Bush x cuts expire the middle class will get hit with a 5% increase.
Despite the battle cry of the GOP only giving tax cuts to the rich by the left, The Bush tax cuts included a 5% CUT for the middle class, so when those cuts expire they will blame it on Bush and wash thier hands of it.
