Not a chance!
Would anyone believe him if he did announce a massive tax cut?
LAUGHABLE! NOT A CHANCE.
“except, insomuch as they hit small businesses”
As a small business owner I say “FU Joe Weisenthal!”
When pigs fly to Mecca!
Even if he announced it, the reality?
With all the new debt, the only way it gets paid is if there is tax, so the tax would be somewheres else. VATs etc etc
If he tried this the American people would call his bluff and still vote for conservatives in November to keep him to his word.
Those bills arise from Congress, not the Executive.
Then he’d have to sign them.
He won’t do it (unless he has seriously miscalculated.)
Do it, Zero, I DARE you.
Is Obama going to cut taxes?
No.
More proof that the business world is packed with idiots.
No way. B.O. is economically illiterate. I doubt he took a single econ course.
He has already defined himself and nothing can change that.
Joe Weisenthal.
Let me guess... a JOURNOLIST?
Oh he may well ANNOUNCE it!! Of course, it would be reneged on later, or made so impossible to support that he could then easily blame republicans—should they claim the house—for its failure to be passed into law.
Gee, I wonder if Joe Wiesenthal is on Journolist?
Obama is a committed statist. I would be shocked if he did this.
Silly me, I thought the Bamster already had taxes for 95% of taxpayers........
It would not matter. Nothing good in the economy will occur until he is gone. Preferably by impeachement in Jan 2011 or sooner. The night of the election - people with money and brains when Galt or Atlas Shrugged. Nothing good is going to happen until he is out.
The problem is he will destroy America before that happens and he will be helped 100% by *ALL* of TV plus the NFL, NBA, MBL, NCAA and other groups.
We have properly been talking about cutting taxes since he walked in the door. Were he to do so, he would be in the position to say, "OK, I cut taxes--now, where's all the jobs?"
If the tax cuts work--he gets the credit.
If they fail--he gets to say "More failed Bush-era policies."
He doesn't give a damn that reducing taxes goes against his political philosophy--IT DOES NOT MATTER anymore. He has so screwed this country it's going to take decades to recover--what the heck would he care if he cut taxes? He could just raise them again, or leave an unbelievable mess (bigger than the one he's already left) for the next Republican, or set the stage for his next term or the next Dem to institute even MORE draconian restrictions on business growth and personal income.
This is possible.
A massive change like this would INCREASE uncertainty. Uncertainty is what is causing businessmen to not spend capital. The only reason to pull such a stunt would be to fool people like this author and provide some fodder for the MSM to beat their drums.
Yeah, and Al Qaeda is about to shift into becoming a Jewish charitable organization.
The fact the author is using the canard “double-dip” means he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
