"..official IRS data showed that for 2007 the top 1% of income earners paid more in federal income taxes than the bottom 95% combined. The top 1% paid 40.4% of all federal income taxes that year, almost twice their share of income. The middle fifth of income earners, the actual middle class, paid 4.7% of federal income taxes."

I believe we are actually living in the Matrix. And Obama is one of those govt dudes running around with sun glasses looking to eliminate Neo (capitalism).

He is a marxist ideologue promoting class warfare day in and day out. It is no more complicated than that.

It is incomprehensible how a man serving as president of these United States could make such a fundamentally false assertion about his own country.

It's only incomprehensible to those who continue to give Obama a modicum of respect for America and its Constitution.

I’m still not sure whether he is a committed Marxist who is deliberately lying to us (as all Marxists do) to promote his agenda, or whether he is an empty suit put out by the Marxists to spout their lies, and he’s too vacuous to do anything more than just read what’s on the TOTUS.

It’s one or the other, but both are bad.

But the imbalance in taxes also shows the imbalance in income.

Not if you've been paying attention.
That's who he is.
That's what he believes.

....As a result, Obama is constitutionally required to pay Social Security benefits, under his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. That means failing to pay those benefits would be an impeachable offense....

obama has already committed MANY impeachable offenses, but no one with even a shred of power is even talking about impeaching him!!!!

” a system in which the deck seems stacked against middle class Americans in favor of the wealthiest few.”

For instance, some of the wealthy few will sometimes undeservedly educate and elevate a pliable, narcissistic, consience-free, token “man of the people” far above his middle class roots and prop him up into a position of useful-idiot-reading-from-teleprompter, hayna? Or no?

Obama knows exactly what he is doing. He was a student of Alinsky who was a student of communist Antonio Gramsci. The plan is to bring America down from within. It has ALWAYS been the plan. To achieve the goals, capitalism must be destroyed. Class warfare is part of that. Bankrupting the country is another. Over regulation and driving companies overseas is another.

Just before this mornings speech, David Gregory said that the president was not involved in the details of the negotiations. Hell, Obama has NEVER been involved in the details of ANY negotiations.

President Obama Is No Longer Tethered To Reality

Or maybe he enjoys telling lies.

President Obama Is No Longer Tethered To Reality (was he ever?)

Its not that Obama has a problem with reality, its the millions of idiot voters who over looked all his flaws and put his sorry ass into office that I have a problem with.

Obama is no more divorced from reality than a lot of people, I guess.

I was listening to NPR yesterday for a bit in the car. They had professors from a college in Iowa and one in NC, reporting that Obama is the soul of reasonableness, having proposed 4 trillion in reductions. You’ll be interested to know that, according to the soothing voices of NPR, it is the Republicans who seem to be irrationally clinging to their campaign promises in the face of the horrible impending reduction in the nation’s credit rating.

It was a really shallow and misleading discussion. But since it was delivered in a calm voice, not a Rush Limbaugh dramatic voice, many otherwise intelligent people will assume they just heard a reasonable news piece.

Add it to an increasingly growing list of false assertions about this country from this president.

No, and neither are the millions of clowns who elected him, either.

Because read carefully, it reveals a president wildly divorced from the fundamental realities of the nation he is supposed to be leading

I think Obama and his handlers are actually playing a bad hand rather well.

Oh! I see!

You thought they were trying to make things better, to solve problems! I can see why you're confused, then.
