Obama wants to maintain the Bush tax cuts for people making less than $250,000, but not for people making more than that. He knows this doesn’t solve the problem (the government is spending more than it takes in), so why do it?
Let’s do a cost/benefit analysis. What are the costs associated with raising taxes on people making more than $250,000 a year?
What are the benefits of raising taxes on people making over $250,000 a year?
What are the benefits of raising taxes on people making over $250,000 a year?
Obama could pay for the government for 8 days maybe
Did you fall for the trap? Were you thinking of costs and benefits for our country? Is that the cost/benefit analysis that Obama and the Democrats do? Look again at the cost/benefit analysis, but instead of looking at the costs and benefits to the country, look at the costs and benefits to Obama and the Democrat party. Does a positive balance in the public treasury help them? Does a negative balance in the public treasury hurt them? If the public treasury doesn’t concern them, then what does? Where do they worry about costs and benefits? Never assume that the Democrats have the same concerns as you or even care about the same measurements that you do.
