“I want to get a better picture of what our options are.”
Here’s one: Let’s dump socialism and get back to the same market economy that made us the most prosperous nation in the world.
Hey he gots a lot of high priced socialism deals in the works and he be needing more money. I suggest he use the million bucks he got from Goldman Sachs to start with. There are no words to describe how much I loathe that man. I just want to get out of here.
How can they implement a VAT and not have anyone who earns under $250,000 pay it?
A VAT tax has NEVER worked to balance any budget, it only entices more spending.
F’n liar and phoney. You can count on the commie to do the opposite of what he claimed.
Shame the dolts who voted for this lying assed POS are so stupid.
Go ahead Bambi, and there will never be another democrat elected to any office ever again.
All over the country there are some libs sitting outside a store smoking a Newport or Camel cigarette and praising Obama for only raising taxes on the rich.
They have no idea why the price of their Kools just went up a buck. They buy it on the black market anyway.
Oh that’s right, he raised their regressive tobacco taxes to fund SCHIP.
All your moneys are belong to us.
It is time to re-defeat communism.
"So I've been a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes. You would think they would be saying thank you."
Fine by me with the following qualifiers:
A constitutional amendment is passed that establishes a VAT and requires that every single cent raised goes to paying off the national debt, paying off - over a period of 15 years and at that time elimiating - all obligations to Social Security, Medicare, Medicade, and whatever new entitlements are in the healthcare bill, and which contains an automatic elimination of the VAT after 15 years and providing that no such similar taxes can be levied nor can the federal government spend more than it takes in for any three year period for any reason other than national defense absent a new constitutional amendment.
In other words - the powers that be have screwed us and we will eventually need to pay. Might as well set up a payment plan now and get the mortgage paid off. At the same time there is absolutely no benefit in giving Congress more of our money until their hands are tied and they can't use for anything other than paying off our debt and closing out programs.
A VAT absent extremely tight restrictions on Congress's spending is nothing more than another way for them to waste our money.
Hey 0bozo, you dumb ass, why don’t you just CUT SPENDING BY 50%? That would do more to revive the economy than anything!
bttt
I suggest that nobama resigning tonight in disgrace may be an option.
This is only one day after saying there would be no VAT. When ever the POS administration denies something you know it is being written up even as they are lying about it.
When is the Legislature going to grow a pair and tell the Executive exactly where it fits into the picture of check and balances... Ozero sounds like Chavez —as long as Congress wimps out this fool and his ego will go unchecked...
big surprise .... a week ago Obama was saying no VAT, it was off the table.
Now he will consider it
next week they will ram it through even if it is against the wishes of the voters.
Will this tax people making under $250,000.00 a year .. of course. But you will hear about the tax cuts he gave them.
I predict it now.
It’s entirely possible that Obomba thinks the “VAT” tax is a tax on liquor. He doesn’t care because right now, the taxpayers are paying for all his booze.
With this guy, no level of idiocy is out of the question.
