If you follow the news you probably hear something to the effect that "Republicans only care about giving tax cuts to the rich" , that the "Bush tax cuts are only benefiting the rich" or that Republicans are holding legislation hostage. This is the new spin that Obama and company are putting on the
issue of the Bush Tax Cuts.
Lets put it all in perspective:
* This is not about a tax cut for the rich, this about a tax increase by Democrats (if they had not lost the midterm elections they would have end the Bush Tax Cuts for everyone, now they try to act like they are compromising).
*The Bush Tax Cuts were not a tax cut for the rich, it was a tax cut for everyone who pays taxes.
*Why did some people not get a tax cut? Because they don't pay taxes, however they sure get a lot of other things like foodstamps, welfare and medicaid(it ain't free).
*The Democrats still have the majority in both houses, why are they still blaming Republicans? The newly elected Senators and Representatives don't take office till January.
*Once again it is the big smear campaign by Democrats trying to demonize the Republicans.
Other things to remember:
The US was not in "the worst depression since the great depression" near the end of the Bush administration. We were in a economic slowdown or slight recession. Obama and company have only made it worse! We now have close to 7 million people out of work! Unemployment is going on its 3rd extension (and no, Ms Pelosi, unemployment benefits do not stimulate a economy, it stays stagnant).
Tax increases on the people who make jobs does not help stimulate the economy, Stimulus monies did not help the economy,
demonizing big business does not stimulate the economy, giving more entitlements (welfare,foodstamps,medicaid) does not stimulate the economy...so in a nutshell you have failed Mr Obama.
Your are a socialist and as such you are the enemy of Freedom and Prosperity. You say you know what the people want but what you don't know is what those of us who pay for it all want! We have told you via poll, protests and the midterm elections. We are the majority and we alone have the power, you only work for the American people. You have done a terrible job and will be fired.
