No one will ever convince me that Obama doesn’t know this already. That being said, what reason, other than the destruction of our country, could he have for going forward with his plans?
None.
He does know it, and had publicly admitted it on more than one occasion, at least once to Bill O'Reilly in an interview. BoR actually confronted Obama with the fact that as tax rates drop, revenues to the treasury increase. Obama said he knew it, but he wanted to increase taxes for "fairness."
