There is no middle class anymore. Just slaves of the State. We are working under a dictatorship using existing laws.

Karl Marx HATED the middle class.
He didn’t have a single idea to help the middle class.

So now I’m listening to Obama tell me that we need all these Marxist ideas to help the middle class - and the middle class idiots around me all love his ideas.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.

John Maynard Keynes didn’t seem to like the middle class either , he also recommended taking on deficits to solve a recession.

Same old class warfare garbage. The guy is a utterly predictable. Why it’s not used against him more is baffling to me.

John Maynard Keynes didn’t seem to like the middle class either , he also recommended taking on deficits to solve a recession.

But he recommended tax cuts during a boom.

The "Keynesian" politicians running our show love to raise taxes no matter what is going on and leave it that way.

Black against white, rich against poor, women against men, gay against straight, moslem against jew,...why not start inciting the squeezed middle-class to hate the rich too? ...so the first f*king communist president can keep the democrat Marxist ball rolling? F*king puke of a POTUS.

He’s just throwing stuff out at random to keep the Pubes in reaction mode so they’ll keep their hands off Obamacare, amnesty, etc. It works too. The Republicans are useless.

I had a debate of sorts recently with a black, and he sincerely believes that Obama’s going to use an EO to give “reparations” to all blacks. It seems that many believe this, so they’re holding off on doing anything to improve themselves, instead they’re simply waiting for the riches they believe will be coming their way.

Ordinarily, with both houses of Congress in the hands of the opposition party, I would say this proposal will be DOA.

However, given The Boehner/McConnell Track record...

Whoops, I forgot.

Obama doesn't need Congress to enact laws.

This appears to be some sort of Obama-DNC Triangulation Tactic.

There is no middle class anymore.

That's a fact. So the revenue would go into a)the regime's slush fund and b)welfare programs to keep the proletariat on the plantation, if I might mix metaphors.

Damn, I'm getting so bored with this.

Obama's gonna work with McConnell and Boner to increase fairness

Tax increases NOW in exchange for promised benefits later

Inevitable falling-out and blame-casting on evil Republicans

Rino’s will make the appropriate amount of noise before surrendering to obama’s will, it is most evident they do after all have the same agenda.
