Obama already has excuse for not cutting taxes, and nobody is talking about it!

He’s appropriated the term ‘tax cut’ to refer to increasing welfare entitlements.

Of course they will blame Bush. If 0bama is elected, it will be a real interesting to see if we will ever see them report his bad approval ratings, because he will be a disaster. Just picture it: The economy is in the tank, another terrorist attack, 2 wars and the MSM’s response “President 0bama is maintaining a 100% approval rating, amazing that through terrible economic conditions since the Carter years and another terrorist attack on our shores, that he is still widely held as popular by everyone. He’s the right man for our time”....Ugh.

I would rather he not cut taxes on anyone than implement his plan. Cutting taxes on most people while raising them on the top 5 percent is pure wealth redistribution. Obama’s telling most Americans they can have both lower taxes and more programs and that the bill will be passed on to other people. At least if he doesn’t lower their taxes they’ll realize bigger government does in fact have a cost.

Tax rates are already set for next year.
Obama cannot affect tax rates until 2010.
My point was not about what he will or wont do to tax rates.
My point was that even at the current tax rates, the federal government is not going to have enough money to run itself.
We are talking about decades of wealth building that will be reported as losses in a single year. Can someone please tell me how Obama plans on handling this one?
What happens to the inner cities and population centers when the welfare payments stop coming?

Riddle me this: what do you call a tax-cut for people who pay no taxes (40% of adults)?

a “stimulus” check?

“Obama knows darn well what we are headed for, and intends to compound it!”

Yes, he does. COmmunists, including those behind him, know very well that hatred can be built during economic turmoil and the results blamed on the “rich”. People only vote for Communism during those times and Communism is what they want. We’ve got the 2nd amendment to counter their threat of Communism.

They can pass retroactive tax increases like they did in 93,which the courts held up as non ex post facto!
