I may be playing the devils advocate, but why should I turn down a decrease in my taxes? People making over $250K wouldn't hesitate. If we want to make it right push a fair tax or flat tax. The "rich" have more pull to get it going but Im assuming less incentive.

The answer to your question is really easy.

“I may be playing the devils advocate, but why should I turn down a decrease in my taxes? People making over $250K wouldn't hesitate.”

By far, most of those who will vote for BO make much less than $250,000.

I suspect that they make less than $100,000.

So it is only a matter of time until the “rich” bracket will be adjusted to.....what? $60,000? $40,000?

BO has voted already to raise taxes on all over $42,000 so that is an indication of his thinking.

But the point is that anyone who would tell so many bald faced lies can't be trusted on his statements about taxes.

One of his worst, and maybe the worst, is the lie that he would campaign on government financing.

What makes this such a serious lie is the way this election is playing out. BO is buying this election with the expenditure of unreal amounts of money.

If he wins, it will be with a bought election. Everything from $830,000 to ACORN to register fraudulent voters to TV and radio ads at a rate unprecedented and unimaginable only a year ago.
