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

says Joe's taxes wouldn't change unless he goes over $250,000,
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.


At least he doesn't have an inbred distaste for paying the bills
instead of accumulating debt.


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.


Look at what lowering the taxes of the rich under Bush has done for
us.



Actually, under the Bush administration, taxes on everybody were lowered. As
a result, we had six years of a pretty good economic climate: Low inflation,
low unemployment, 21 months of continued economic growth. This in spite of
911, Katrina, and two wars. Then the Democrats took over.

In less than 20 months they managed to **** things up beyond all
recognition.


That's total hogwash. We had six years of "house-of-card-building"
while deregulated (and never regulated) financial entities and the Fed
artificially stimulated the economy and people used their houses as
ATMs. Now it's all coming home to roost.
