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!

You think people are living like that on $250,000? ROFL We actually live in the real world, not your fantasy world.

>>> The wealthy will gripe, but they didn't run away from the country when their taxes were twice or more the current rate.

It's a different world. I wouldn't expect them to run away, but with a much more global economy and technology, they certainly aren't required to just sit there and take it.

>>> If they do run away now because of a return to the 39.6 percent rate of the 1990's, then they are just (putting on my Palin-insult-hat) not pro-American. We won't miss them.

I imagine that will be the sentiment of many as they wave good-bye to their jobs.
