That's what he will PROPOSE ...

But his policies will have a very different effect. They always do.

Obama's whole approach has been to say things which sound somewhat appealing, and to do things which are very, very different.

[wac3rd]

He is a Commie. All of the extra taxes have been taxed already

[urbanpovertylawcenter]

Is it just me or should this ill-bred, half baked, nincompoop, be allowed to slink through his do nothing presidency and then really screw the pooch with his lame duck antics with a republican legislative audience standing mesmerized with voting fingers up their collective arses?

Why he is just too powerful! We couldn't stop him. Obamacare brings in to much revenue to repeal, and we need the illegal immigrants to mow our grass and take out the trash, at least they are not Muslims and follow the Pope!

We are finished. The slim brown one has castrated America and the metrosexuals in the press were his facilitators.

That’s what the AMT (alternative minimum tax) was created to do. But it “trickled down” to bite the middle class entrepreneur on the @$$.

[TexasGator]

“to ensure the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share on inherited assets”

Only the wealthy pay inheritance taxes ...

[Kickass Conservative]

Okay, I love how they mention Reagan.

During Reagan’s Presidency, the 28% Capital Gains Tax matched the 28% Top Income Tax Rate. Sort of a Flat Tax for the Rich, right?

That is the Bill they should send Obama.

Some people just won’t rest till they have squeezed
the magic goose so hard trying to get another golden
egg out of it that they finally kill it, then whine
about where the next golden egg will come from...

Talk about crazy.

Didn’t the cap gains tax go to 28% for 2015 under Obamacare?
Death tax (estate tax) is back to 55%.

Meanwhile, he has overseen the largest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle-classes, to the Democrat-connected Oligarch’s, IN THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE. (endless QE).

On TV he is going to claim The Free Schit Fairy is going to make it rain, but in reality, this has been the most criminally corrupt administration in this nation’s history.

"dramatically expand child care tax benefits, providing up to $3,000 per child under 5"

This deduction(tax credit) already phases out at 110K.

Making College Accessible and Affordable: The President’s plan reforms the education tax system by consolidating six overlapping education provisions into just two and providing students up to $2,500 a year toward completing a college degree. His plan cuts taxes for 8.5 million families and students and simplifies taxes for the more than 25 million families and students that claim education tax benefits."

Most middle income families make over the threshold for being able to claim college education expenses already. That deduction phases out entirely at $63,000 for single filers and $107,000 for married filers. That is the heart of the middle class. I have never been able to claim one dime.

[KoRn]

I know that you’ll never hear any politician say this, but your ‘typical’ middle-class family already doesn’t really pay taxes after you factor in all of the deductions. As a matter of fact, they probably GET money from the Treasury.

If anything, 0bama is probably just talking about expanding giveaways to various interest groups, at the expense of others.

[hondact200]

Please change title. obama plans to eliminate Middle Class and Reduce the Wealthy Class. more of the same transfer the wealth of middle class and now the wealthy. He is doubling down on his agenda - steamrolling to the end. Unfortunately the Repuglicians will enable him to do what he wishes.

[eartick]

Liar in chief at it again.

He thinks about talking and he lies.

Fraud, lie and cheat is all he knows or understands

[Zuben Elgenubi]

I’d like to hear President 0bama’s definition of the “middle class”.

[Parmy]

I thought he had already solved that problem.

[Tzimisce]

Karl Marx HATED the middle class. He wanted their blood FLOWING in the streets.

You can NOT Marx's ideas (ANY of his ideas) to help the middle class.

But middle classers keep defending these ideas.

Middle classers keep voting for this.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

One of the most vocally liberal people I’ve known so far in life has lived off of a trust fund (supposedly a target of Obama’s plan). Although I think this ploy by Obama is just another road to the ‘redistribution’ he erroneously thinks is ‘fair’, I am very interested in seeing the reaction of those liberal children of well-off families who have been living off of trust funds.

[Theodore R.]

I wonder if the barely wealthy have the time from working to figure out they are being fleeced by the American people.
