C'mon, the guy can't even pay his taxes, but tells the candidate for

they should have at least found out what Joe's income was running.

Bottom line: Obama will raise taxes on some. Maybe not many, but some. Obama
does not have an inbred distaste for raising taxes - with him, it's not a
matter of whether to raise taxes, it's where he draws the line.

In a nutshell, Obama will raise some taxes. It doesn't matter to me whether
it's on someone who makes more than $250,000 or drives a yellow van. Obama
will raise taxes. Any candidate who says any taxes will be raised for
anybody for any reason at any time will never get my vote.

I despair of a future poem:

In Obama's world, they came first for those making more than $250,000, And I
didn't speak up because I didn't make that much;

That's completely spurious. That is not what he said at all. This
portrayal is as preposterous as the MYTHICAL "Joe the Plumber" story is
too. It's a fairy tale invented by the GOP.

We have seen enough capitalist extremism to nauseate the majority of
hard-working decent Americans who have seen their 401ks evaporate, their
jobs vanish and hear the fatcats who have stolen it all puff their
chests out and demand that they be allowed to keep the billions of
dollars that they have acquired. Trickle down? Bull****, it all flowed
UP and has gone!
