What is amazing is that Obama gets away with calling what he wants to do giving a “tax break” to others so they can be where Joe was 5 years ago, when he means he’ll be giving checks to people who don’t pay taxes...that’s not a tax break, it’s a welfare program, but of course the MSN won’t call him on that, especially an old lefty like Bob Schieffer.
And furthermore, he’s just playing this class-envy game by attempting to convince people that he’s just shifting the burden of funding government to greedy rich people. You know, cut taxes on the “middle class” (which is whatever he wants it to be) and force those “who can afford it” to pay for it. Those people who receive tax cuts are going to be awfully surprised when the people who employ them now can no longer afford to to so in the very near future under a President 0bama.
