President Barack Obama calls his tax and spending plan ´middle-class economics,´ but most middle-income families would see little change in their tax bills. Obama is proposing a total of $1.5 trillion in new taxes over the next decade, mostly on corporations and high-income households. He would use much of that money--nearly $280 billion--to pay for targeted tax breaks for low- and middle-income families. Obama´s proposed tax cuts would benefit households with two wage earners, families with young children in child care and those with older children in college. One proposal would automatically enroll workers in individual retirement accounts, unless they

Obama is a Muslim Marxist. Nothing he does will benefit anyone in the USA except his loyal cronies.

Obama cavalierly pursues his leftwing ideology no matter who it hurts, then looks at the wreckage and claims he;s going to make it better.....

We MUST REPEAL THE SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT.

AFAIK, no Republican candidate come out for this yet. The closest I’m aware of is Ted Cruz, who talks about “abolishing the IRS.” But I consider REPEAL of the SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT a non-negotiable.

it’s easy. 1. assume he’s lying. 2. this means whatever he says is the opposite of what he’s really doing. 3. honest analysis always confirms what he’s doing is the opposite of what he says he did.

There’s no group that offends Barry’s Marxist inclinations more than the middle-class. His policies have decimated the middle class and have rewarded non-taxpayers. This window dressing is just a bogus ploy to try to cover up the obvious hostility of Barry’s past policies.

And .. all the infrastructure stuff .. is probably just going to be given to all the UNIONS .. just like the stimulus was.

The dems are still convinced we’re too stupid to figure that out.

doesn’t matter to Obama since this is not about the middle class. That is just cover for extracting more taxes from the wealthy.

You have it backwards. The effect will be to extract more taxes from the middle class, but the populist sales pitch is to extract same from the wealthy.

The way I understand Christian Theology during the end times nothing will make sense. Left will become right, up will be down. It will be confusing. Lies and deceit. Girls are as strong as men. Gays are normal. etc. I am getting worried....

If you like your tax cuts, you can keep your tax cuts. Period.
