Just so we’re clear, we all understand these tax hikes would accomplish zilch, right?

I’m all for going over the cliff and sequestration. Let all those single Obama voters making 75K to 199K learn how much money mean old George Bush actually saved them.

That sounds great but is actually want the kenyan wants. He wants those tax increases on the middle class AND to blame it on the GOP. Don’t give him what he wants.

Better to go with the Obama Plan of taxing the “rich” only and pound the dims with it in 2014 when it fails.

The Chosen One is seen "doing something" about the economy. Once that "something" fails, all that's left is to claim that greedy capitalists are even worse than originally thought, so more severe actions are called for.

I have given this topic some thought, and I see it this way. After increases in taxes on "the rich" fail to change anything in the economy, Obama will then admonish the rest of the country like this:

The wealthy have rolled up their sleeves and are paying more...now, it's only fair to ask the rest of you to pay your fair share too. We're all in this together. So I'm proposing a "modest" increase of...on the middle class.

That’s why I say to keep haroing on the return to Clintonomics. Don’t let an interview or comment pass without calling Bubba’s name. How can they call it unfair when its godfather is the living saint of the party. Tie Bubba to the fiscal cliff and he’ll drag the Dems over with him. And don’t think Bubba for one second will say he was wrong in 93.

I CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE I HAVE SPOKEN TO PERSONALLY OR HEARD ABOUT THAT HAVE BEEN LAID OFF AS A RESULT OF OBAMACARE IN THE LAST WEEK. He has driven a stake into the economic heart of this country and I believe he full well knows it and did so intentionally. This guy is not playing for our team folks. He may wear the same jersey but his pockets are lined by people betting against our team and the gimme gimme idiot electorate that voted for him can’t see it.
