Don't stop reading at the title :) Mr. Cain is issuing a tongue-in-cheek challenge to Obama regarding the tax cuts. He discussed this on his show the other night and said, "I'll believe it when I see it".

[sickoflibs]

RE :”Fifty percent of those making over $250,000 a year are small business owners. This means the economy would stall even more and the unemployment rate would go higher. Just like the Obama Administration did not think the stimulus spending would fail, they do not believe that raising taxes on the job creators will backfire and negatively affect the economy. Rather than sending this economy into a full scale depression if tax rates go up for everybody, I say let Obama win one! We would only have to endure these failed policies and this economic insanity for another two years. Some businesses will not be able to survive because they are barely surviving today. But many businesses would find a way to hold on until we make a change in control of the Senate and the White House. “

I understand his point. This is exactly what Obama doesnt want to happen, those taxes go up and he get the blame again. What Obama wants is to pass all the tax cuts then say Republicans blackmailed him. Then when the economy doesnt get better, and the the debt climbs, he is not the sole owner of the mess. He knows what killed Rats in 2010 was being the owner of the economy. In short, Obama wants to let Republicans win this one and cry victim.

Letting the other guy ‘win’ is tricky business, like throwing a fight. You lose if it is known that you threw it. Congressional Democrats are already proposing upping the limit to 1 Million to make it look better politically to raise some taxes(voters will be much less sympathetic to 'millionares').

President Obama also discovered reluctantly that the American people do not like unpopular legislation shoved down their throats

I disagree with Herman on this one. 0 didn't discover anything. He thinks we idiots who aren't as smart as he is just don't understand what he's doing with the deep insight granted by being a community organizer into what makes America work.

[wayoverontheright]

But if he chooses to let the tax rates expire for all income brackets as a political move because the Republicans will not support his tax the rich proposal, this economy will go into a further tail spin and he will blame it on the Republicans.

Ah, but the American people won't blame Republicans, Mr. Cain. It will be seen as yet another attack on business, as private sector players now see that the "rich" are our economy's employers, investors-the ones who sign the checks. America has made the connection now that liberal policies have been put into action, between hammering the "wealthy" and low growth, IMHO.

If I'm wrong, then you're right, but I think this election shows people see capitalism as too fragile for government to deploy punitive taxes on those who have the capital to put at risk.

UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR The president’s passage of the health care bill was not a victory.

He got that right. Dems sealed their fate by bitterly clinging to O/Care. Obama, Pelosi
and Bill Clinton said O/Care would boost their reelection, and the idiots believed them.

The happy couple---united by O/Care.

Rather than sending this economy into a full scale depression if tax rates go up for everybody, I say let Obama win one! We would only have to endure these failed policies and this economic insanity for another two years. Some businesses will not be able to survive because they are barely surviving today. But many businesses would find a way to hold on until we make a change in control of the Senate and the White House.

I fully agree with this. Let Obama have this and then keep the spotlight pointed on his decision as the pain persists. The 2012 election results will then be far worse for the thug party than the 2008 elections.

Not only should the Bush tax cuts remain BUT:
They should be added to, enhanced and embellished..
AND a 10% percent federal workforce reduction imposed..

[mad_as_he$$]

Well since 0 has been the affirmative action placement in everything he does it is about time he learned the lesson that score matters. No, I will not go along with letting him win one - even as satire.

Well, he discovered that deficits do matter, because the American people were paying attention. They overwhelmingly rejected the runaway spending of this administration and this Democrat-controlled Congress.

The trouble with most Democrat politicians, and even many Republican ones, is that they are still operating under the beliefs held more than 50 years ago. That is,they still look at Americans as though most are too busy with their own lives, are not college educated, are women in the homes with no interest in the world, are out in the fields, or are just too dense to understand complex policies, and they figure they can hoodwink us. They operate as though what they do, as the "all knowing" crowd in DC, can be pushed through Congress with little opposition from the American public, because we will just trust that they know what is best for us. That line of thought is what they have held onto for ages.

They forget...most Americans are now very good at research, having attended college and learned how to source out, compare, and evaluate information. Thousands of Americans have as good an education, or better, than most politicians - and many of us went to school with them,learned the same principles, and studied the same subjects...so we "ain't" so dumb anymore. Most Americans have found a place to voice their opinions - either through the Internet; movements like the TEA Party, etc. and are not quieted by propaganda and empty platitudes. Most Americans can dissect a speech and find that nearly all politicians say absolutely nothing, but love to sound like they know something (the current White House resident being the prime example).

In essence, the crowd that Washington speaks to today is much more aware than the tricksters in office want to recognize it for being. Washington wants to keep Americans on the level of third graders who need their Mommy politicians to take care of them and tell them what is good and right for them. That no longer applies.

What is funny is that ALL politicians promote higher education and getting a college degree as the most important thing for Americans. Yet, they do not want to accept that since we have become educated, as they promoted should happen, we now can figure out how they are and have been hoodwinking us for many years!

The electorate has become more knowledgeable than the elected, and the DC gang just cannot comprehend, or accept that.
