Obama: Cuts are GOP's 'holy grail'

Its not the wealth of any taxpayer that makes any tax rates worthy; its the principle that your money yours, not the governments in the first place, no matter how little or how much,

and its a refusal to buy into “the holy grail” of Marxists and Liberals - class warfare - as if just because you are successful the government has even more right to take even more from you.

The problem is not the greed of individuals. The problem is the greed of Marxists and Liberals, redistributing income and wealth that is not theirs in the first place.

As someone famous once said: A socialist is nothing other than someone who loves to be charitable, with someone elses money.

Of course, to Obama and die hard Liberals, the sum of all our private incomes is “the nation’s” property, not ours, to dispense with as “the nation” sees fit; only, the political practical reality of that idea is that in practice “the nation” actually means the government as run by socialist thinking. It is the opposite of the foundation of Liberty that this nation was created for and built on.

They want to be able to think of themselves as “a good person”, but really don’t want to do what it takes to actually perform a good act.

Those are not really “tax cuts”
They are payroll deduction changes.
That means that there will be a smaller “refund” at the end of the year.
i.e., no tax cut........................

No, limited government is the Republicans’ Holy Grail.

And unfortunately, like the quest for the Holy Grail, they have never been able to accomplish their task.

I will propose that we have a chance at diverting a catastrophe when the likes of Republican leadership starts a philosophical war against marxism and actually shows up for the battle, starting with refusing to compromise on SPENDING, which sadly, they just DID on extending Obama’s desire for perpetuating a permanent underclass with these unemployment benefits.

Do they collective possess the will and principle to do so when challenged to put America First? (half-rhetorical question)

IF, the economy improves, it’s Obama who will take the credit in 12, (among the Independents) according to Varney, FOX news, and the class warfare card is going to get played big time.

No way will this economy improve in 0bama's final two disastrous years. "Credit" will give way to a level of "Blame" that will dwarf Jimmah Carter's back in 1979.

Nothing short of rebuilding American industry, high tariffs on ChiCom and slave-labor goods, and rejection of ANY Amnesty whatsoever will help the American economy.

The welfare card will undoubtedly get played, but herein lies the battle for the soul of America. Will our nation choose communism & globalism, or capitalism & American sovereignty?

I can still remember when this bumbling asshat was hailed as the second coming of Jesus Christ.

My my - how far the boy king has fallen....

Those are not really “tax cuts” They are payroll deduction changes.

All taxes are "payroll reductions", and the payroll tax is a TAX. It will be reduced from 6.2 to 4.2% only for employees, not the employers. That tax isn't what gets refunded at the end of the year.

I think we already chose globalism and communism back in Sep. 2008, when Hank Paulson decided to bail out all of his banking buddies, rather than let them fail, taken into receivership and then taken over by competent managers.

Isn’t failure part of the system? But now, the people that screwed up the entire world’s financial system are celebrating billions in bonuses AGAIN.
