Obama is NOT raising taxes

Much has been said about Obama raising taxes, but here's the deal on it.

George W Bush is raising your taxes. It is his tax cut that he signed into law that contained the time for them to EXPIRE.

Obama had nothing to do with this Legislation. It was signed by George W Bush.

Of course, only a few years ago John McCain himself wouldn't support those tax cuts, flip-flopping (again) his position entirely since beginning to run for President after the 2004 election.

================================

Reward Republicans for 8 years of failure? No way, No how, No McCain!

Didn't Clinton also PROMISE to cut taxes for the middle class before his 1st term as President? And did he cut taxes? The answer would be NO! In fact he not only didn't cut taxes, but you guessed it, he RAISED them. By now we should all know that politicians make promises when they are campaigning. They want your vote. That is why track record is so important, not promises. If you care about taxes, then just look at the candidate's track record on taxes and you'll find your answer. Don't look to promises! Also ask yourself this, when has raising taxes when we have an ailing economy ever helped?

what?


he voted AGAINST raises their taxes then (for good causes) and now is running on a basis that this is something he WANTS to do.


That was a statement of fact ... not a cry out for the millionaires.

Bush failed. And do you know why he failed? Because he, and many in the GOP acted just like the Democrats we sent them to replace. Increased spending, increased government, increased the debt ceiling, no regulation on lending institutions run by DEMOCRATS like Fannie and Freddie, immigration views, and his "nation building" agenda in Iraq. ALL of these areas were FULLY supported by Democrats. In fact, the only time the Democrats REALLY opposed Bush was with Mary Schiavo, and a failed spendaholic program called SCHIPS.


Bush failed because he is a socialist Republican, aka a DEMOCRAT.


Democrats already have two tax proposals to INCREASE taxation on the books, and waiting to be unleashed after the elections. If you think the President is in charge of generating the tax legislation, I have news for you: It has to come from the House and Senate. And if you don't have a Republican to stop the already massive monopoly on all of your government besides your military, you might as well hand your check to Uncle Sam.


Obama is already promising an increase in taxation for some, and we all KNOW he is a liar. Where is his birth certificate anyways? How did he get his house? Who bought his book? He is a paid off liberal mouth piece that NEVER WORKED a day in his life, helped a slum lord evict poor people, and a person MANY Democrats will also oppose once in office. That's Obama.

People who make $250,000 are not millionaires.

<< Yes he is. As President he is allowing for these to expire. He could indeed could keep the current tax cut and not allow them to expire.>>

Actually, it's the tax cuts on dividends and ccapital gains, and on those making >$250K that Obama will allow to expire. Nice try though.

"The experts also said Obama could pay for his plan mostly through steps that the candidate has already said he would take -- allowing President Bush's tax cuts on dividends and capital gains and on those making more than about $250,000 a year to expire in 2010 instead of acting to make them permanent."

If people making >$250K are not millionaires then they need to learn how to save instead of throwing their money away at Saks, ha ha. No sympathy for the big spenders.
