During the campaign, all we heard from Obama was that people making over $250K (and later, $150K) a year were going to get their taxes raised. They needed to "do their patriotic duty." They didn't need the money anyway, and the tax hikes were only going to affect the wealthiest people in this country. Obama wanted to "spread the wealth around". He was tired of the Bush administration giving the wealthy tax breaks and hoping the effect would trickle down to everyone else. Click here to watch an example. Obama thought it would be better for the government to determine who gets what rather than the person who earned it. Obama thought it would be best to take money out of the hands of the job-creators and give it to the government which screws up everything it gets its hands on (except the military). The government was allegedly going to use that money to give to the non-wealthy and for new government projects.
Well guess what, now since the economy's tanking, he's thinking maybe it's not such a good idea to increase taxes on the rich - click here.
So what's the deal Obama? Are you now admitting that the best way to grow the economy is not to take money from the producers? Does that mean you were lying during the campaign or pandering to your brain-dead followers to get votes? Which one is it Mr. Obama, does the economy grow or not if you let the wealthy keep their money and spend it as they please? And if it helps the economy to let people keep what they earn, why wouldn't that have been your plan from the beginning?
Although I admit I am pleased he is rethinking his tax policy, I still think he's Obam-inable!
