Trying to be as objective here as possible...if I were some sort of Democratic operative, I don’t think I’d be pleased with Obama here. I think what he said is simply objectively and quantifiably wrong.
I think he could probably get away with something more modest like “a majority of the people want higher taxes on the wealthiest 1%”. Now, of course, that isn’t what they would actually do, but, at least the D’s would arguably have the numbers on that....But I really, really don’t think that 80% of Americans want higher taxes. And it is DEFINITELY not the case that 80% of LV’s want higher taxes.
Which, if I were a Democrat, I would be squirming, thinking that all Obama is doing is antagonizing the other side, when the D’s are already hurting electorally.
Bottom line: the more he says outrageous stuff like this, the better off we are.....
If we were to ask those 80 percent if they wanted
a 5 percent raise across ALL taxpayers, that is even
those who pay no taxes now would pay 5 percent,the
answer would be hell no.
Damn these democrats for what they have done to
Americans.
True, but the MSM supports this crap. How can they possibly spin this 80% number? The other thing it tells me is how desperate he's getting plus his facial expressions are projecting his narcissistic rage. Soon to be unhinged? Oh man, Novemvber 6, 2012 can't get here soon enough. Seems like an awfully long time to wait. Something every day. . .
Prepare and work like hell when Sarah announces.
