The Obama Files: Spreading the Wealth Through Taxes
Loading...
Uploaded by mkhammer on Oct 21, 2008
As a skilled rhetorical magician, Obama presents himself as a tax-cutter. Even though hes voted dozens of times to raise taxes, he assures Americans that 95% of us will have our taxes slashed under his plan. The Wall Street Journal isnt buying it (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122385651698727257.html). Once again, though, the best way to assess someones positions is to listen to his own language. Note the two telling exchanges that follow:
First, Obama tells newly-minted national celebrity Joe the Plumber that his tax hikes on the so-called rich are designed to spread the wealth around, which Obama explains is good for everybody. Does that sound like a genuine tax-cutter to you?
Second, Obama is challenged by ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson at a primary debate in Pennsylvania. Gibson asks Obama why he insists on raising capital gains taxes (which affect millions of American investors) even after history has proven that raising said taxes actually decreases government revenues from the taxes, and cutting capital gains taxes actually brings more revenue into federal coffers. Obama has no answer, other than to blow off all the evidence, and say that raising taxes is the fair thing to do—practical consequences be damned.

@delquadro691 I'm proud to pay taxes and to help those in need. I'm a nurse and work full-time to care for the elderly and handicapped, and see how many people with disabilities suffer and need the government's help when they CAN'T generate ANY income on their own or by working under someone-
When you're a 45yo mentally retarded man who needs 24hr supervision & take medication for seizures, YOU try getting a job or paying for 1200$ a MONTH meds to STAY ALIVE.
And you call 'leech'? Fuck YOU.

It's obvious you suck the govt's nipples.
Those 'losing whiners' are the ones paying your salary!
You might want to read Atlas Shrugged if you can stomach a little truth.
Your a Govt. Slut & Slave.

Obviously you don't pay much in personal income tax.
Or.....you leech your living from someone else.
If you are responsible to create your own income & provide jobs for other you might have a different perspective.
What's mine is mine what's yours is yours no matter how little or much that is you slut.

You probably don't even pay taxes you fuckin idiot. "Pay taxes and shut the hell up", You are, what the patriots in 1776,called a fucking sellout with blind loyalty.

So... "Patriot" You make more than 1/4 million a year? Good for you. I don't and I don't want to see corporate CEOs walking away with million dollar tax cuts because it somehow in a fictional world helps us all.
I also love the irony that you are so afraid of communism but the borrowing that our country has done has placed us in the pockets of China. Cute... really.
