Obama Vows To Tax Tax Tax and then to TAX Some More

Raising taxes during a recession or even a depression is a plan which has been proven to be a failure.  No one, not even the least involved in politics, can reasonably conclude that raising taxes will help the economy.

But that is precisely what our terribly inexperienced, and so far fumbling new president will announce in the next few days.  And he will do so with great conviction, as his spokesman said, because it was a campaign promise.

And what is the goal of the new and higher taxes?  To reduce the federal deficit, in four years, so that instead of spending $1 trillion more than it takes in, the government will only be spending 1/2 a trillion more than it brings in.

And why are we spending more than we bring in?  Because our new and terribly inexperienced fumbling president just sponsored a huge nearly $1 trillion spending bill which spends money we don't have!

His plans to "cut the deficit" are a joke.  HE IS the deficit, he just ballooned the deficit, and now his game is to take people's money, what little they may have left, so he can "spread the wealth around".

Yep, that was a campaign promise alright, just ask Joe The Plumber.

Oh yeah!!!!!!

I'm taking the saddle off today, and I'm going to ride you bareback -

Time to tax the rich. Start at the top of the wealth scale and go down till the deficit is retired.

No one is spared: the Kennedys, Hollywood, Miami drug lords, Seattle computer geeks and Boston software gurus.

The fundamentalist right-wing is gone, probably for 40 years. The most they'll get for 40 years is the opportunity to lie, cheat and steal. Lie in wait for an oppotunity that nevers comes. Cheat the grim reaper by not dieing a long, slow, horrible and agonizing death. Steal the imagination of poorly educated believers and bankrupt their futures.

Now the United States has a real future. A president that spits in the face of reactionary right-wing bigots and calls them out.

Get used to it. For 40 years.

Choice is not an option; it is now the policy of the United States government - of the people, by the people and for the people, this is a Republican tradition that has been implemented by a Democratic administration, because the Republicans lost sight of social equity.
