LTS, the problem is that it wont be just the top 1 or 2 percent, it will also raise taxes for business owners making 150,000,
100,000, even folks making 80,000 a year will get their taxes raised, and, I am sorry, but when you have a family of 3 or 4. those incomes dont make you filthy rich, that is a FACT.
therefore, Obama and the democrats are lying to the american people, making us think that only rich millionaires will get a tax hike, this is a blatant lie.
also, Obama said just the other day, that it takes a long time for the economy to turn around, that may be true, BUT, one thing I have noticed is that Obama is not a leader, he is in way over his head, FOR EXAMPLE,
Ronald Reagan took office after Jimmy Carter, this country was in just as worse shape, we had double digit everything, inflation, unemployment, interest rates, in fact, it was HORRIBLE to say the least. IN JUST 3 short years, Reagan stuck to his wisdom and beliefs, not giving a shit about what the liberal press and Ted (drunkard) Kennedy had to say, and they crucified him at every turn. YET Reagan turned the mess of Jimmy carter completely around, and the economy started BOOMING, jobs were created by the millions!! and not fake phoney census jobs like Obama gives us, REAL JOBS!
And Reagan didnt have the benefit of internet jobs like bill clinton had, NO SIR, thats the joke of clinton compared to Reagan, Clinton benefitted from the internet explosion, Reagan did it the old-fashioned way, through LEADERSHIP and courage.
some 16 million jobs were created during the reagan era, and taxes were slashed from the top at 50 percent, down to 28 percent, and this economy grew at a record pace not seen since world war II.
also, I know some of you liberals will try to talk about the deficits that reagan rang up? GUESS WHAT? they were not as bad as you think, because as a percentage to our GDP they were very very manageable, the proof is that just 6 years after reagan left office, clinton and newt gingrich balanced the budget, getting rid of those defecits was easy due to the fact that america was back to work and our GDP was huge.
today, our debt percentage to GDP is much much higher, so this makes getting rid of our debt, much much more difficult.
BUT, one thing I know for sure, Obama and his class warfare ideology isnt worth a DAMM!
love reagan or hate him, ONE THING IS CLEAR, he led by core values and beliefs, he was a rock, in troubling times. A LEADER thru and thru, unlike Obama, who blows whichever way the polls blow. WHY THE FUCK would you elect a leader to follow polls? by definition then, if he follows polls, he is not a leader, but a FOLLOWER. DUH.
Reagan didnt give a shit about what the liberal press or teddy thought about him, he was a strong LEADER, who, turned this country from dire straits to prosperity in just 3 short years.
I'll pull you out of that one bunk hilton and cast you down with the sodomites. The warden, shawshank redemption.
