Obama’s not through raising taxes: “No doubt we need additional revenue”

Obama’s not through raising taxes: “No doubt we need additional revenue”. “Obama twice drew distinctions between ‘average Americans’ and rich people who ‘take advantage’ of perfectly legal tax rules.” Blah, blah, blah. Same old crap, different toilet.

  • If this asshole wants more tax revenues, he should stop trying to keep businesses from starting up or expanding.
    Hasn't he learned anything from history? The more you raise taxes the lower your revenue, the lower taxes, the more revenue.

    • He does not appear to be a fan of studying history. Or anything else for that matter. I think he gets his marching orders from someone else, then uses his "brilliant" mind to work ot the steps to take for the desired outcome.

      • I have long thought he is a paid blogger from somewhere like Media Matters and is here just so we have one idiot we can make fun of...I can;t think of any other reason he posts liberal talking points mixed in with Ron Paulisums.....

      • There will always be Crowleys in the world. You cannot end government dependence, you can just allow businesses to succeed so that we can continue supporting the leeches.

  • My only question to him & his goon squad would be this...

    If you were going to destroy America, what would you do differently then what you have done in your 1st term?

  • And all these stupid fools believed that "Dear Leader" wasn't going to raise taxes on the middle class. Socialism only works because you can use the taxpayers money to buy votes, what the hell did they think was going to happen.

  • Yep, Shitcagahole jesus (thanks nss) is still blowing smoke of the ass of the idiots that support these corrupt scumballs. "We're gonna get the rich!" Yeah, in a pigs ass. So anyone with a shred of common sense would ask, "Then how about closing the 'riches' loopholes that they bribed the DC slimeballs into putting in the tax code?"
    Then the Stupid Lemmings say, "Yeah yeah, Obama is gonna get dem rich guys." Lessee, that would be Obama himself, all politicians, a goodly chunk of Hollyweird, all the big bribers er ah I mean donors, etc etc. Like that is ever gonna happen.
    These DC assholes would be tarred, feathered, castrated, and run out of the country if 50% of the population weren't total gullible morons.

    • In a previos thread it was reported that over half the population sees government as a threat. One of thereasons reported was the passage of Obama care despite majority opinion not wanting it. Well if that's the case, how the hell did Obama get reelected with over 50% of the vote? I think somebody's got some 'splaining to do.

  • Anyone that voted for Obama is about to get their just rewards. Problem is we'll all get them, too. Bigger problem is the vast majority of the idiots who voted for him won't get it at all and will continue voting for the same stuff.

  • Here's the stark reality of Obama's second term: taxes will go up, spending will go up, the deficit will go up and the economy will continue to go down. We're f***ed.

  • Of course he isn't done raising taxes. He knows his Lenin who wrote that the way to destroy the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of debt and high taxes.
