That Darn Republican on Monday, October 13, 2008 10:50:20 PM
Have you seen them? You know... the ad artfully spun by the Obama camp to get your television to talk out of the sides its mouth, all considering it never had one to begin with. The very same ad claiming that 2008 Presidential candidate and republican hopeful John McCain. They misrepresent McCain's ads in typical slight-of-hand rhetoric by the left as shamelessly pandering to big oil and business interests, when makes it look like he is a super trooper for the little guy. The truth is Barack Obama's tax plan would essentially neutralize business growth to the point of seizure. If you look really closely at the most strident claims in his plan... he isn't exactly hiding the fact that it is a massive tax trawl.
You catch more fish with a bigger net...
The Obama folks must think people are real, real simple. Of course... wait a minute. What am I talking about? Of course they do.... they are liberal "elite's" - right? They expect you to simply just look the other way and ignore the tragic consequences of ideological substitutions for sound economical reasoning while:
- Obama and a liberal majority in both houses lower the threshold of taxation to $250,000 - that is a much bigger net to trap more fish.
- Fail to take into account that almost 30% of the population doesn't pay any tax at all - effectively nullifying any stimulus he put into effect.
- Increase business taxes that are already the 2nd highest in the world - this would encourage the migration of business to right-to-work states at minimum... at worse, out of the country.
- Telling us how more people paying more tax is good for anything more than tax and spend antics - tell me how is this an actual tax break?
Perhaps the boundary challenged mind of the garden variety coffeehouse socialist has no problem considering that a tax break, afterall... they never claimed to be the party of moral clarity. They morally equivocate all manner of indecency with that which is just, proper, ethical, decent and right. Why should I expect them to believe for one moment that lowering the taxable threshold to $250,000 per household to think it isn't a tax break?
Is Obama that stupid? No... He knows precisely what he is doing.
If you are going to enact a radical change in a short amount of time... you have to be prepared to move swiftly. That is why our focus just on his election of the president by itself is a bit of a misnomer. We need to see the bigger picture... trust me, they do. These nuts have a very yellow press in their back pocket and the momentum can swing their way. What is the quickest way to paralyze the middle class? Reduce their income by over taxing them... which in turn reduces personal spending... which in turn depresses local spending. You see where this is going... Barack Obama knows why his tax plan is they way it is. Because he is another socialist that knows a healthy middle class stands in the way of their socialist agenda. The only way he can make a deep enough cuts into the economy is to freeze personal spending... that is why his net is as big and deep as it is. Be eyes wide... drinking the Cool Aid here can cost us, and cost us big time.
