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.


So how do you propose to pay off the immense national debt ?

Ask Santa to wipe it out ?

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;

And then they came for the corporations, And I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a corporation;

And then they came for those who off-shored their work, And I didn't
speak up because I worked domestically;

And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no
one left to speak up.


Pathetic.
