Middle Class Crush

Another Obama Tax Hike - WSJ.com
Another Obama Tax Hike
The Senate health-care bill would raise effective marginal tax rates on lower and middle-income singles and families up to 41%.
I believe the Obamantra was that the middle class would not see even a single dime’s worth of tax increases.
Like everything else, he lied.



Getting What We Deserve - Good and Hard

Cold Fury » Dog bites man, liar lies

Yeah, I’ve noticed.

I Hope Obama Fails At Everything

A question for those brighter than Kyle: What has Obama proposed so far that you hope succeeds?
Was it cap and trade? How about any of the stimuli-boodle packages? Was it socialized medicine? The takeovers of the auto industry? The assault on Wall Street? The big bank/Fannie/Freddie bailouts? The […]
