You got that right. Obama is about as popular as a cold sore and we still have a pretty good chance of his re-election.
Makes one wonder where the GOP true loyalities lie: With the country or with the system?
If you have to ask the question...
(1) They want you to get it in your mind that tax rates should be raised and deductions eliminated,
(2) They think you'll imagine it's welfare mothers taking all your taxes ~ and not their banking buddies in foreign banks,
(3) They have in mind taxing new born babies if they can get you to agree to their various Progressive schemes.
We didn't end up with $16 trillion in debt because babies weren't paying taxes, or that you got a deduction for your state income taxes, or that welfare mothers sucked it all up.
Now that we know the personal income tax does not work it's time to abolish it and find something else that can work. The place to start is with the 16th amendment ~ replace it.
