President Demagogue wants us to be fools. At the rate the US is borrowing it would take an across the board increase of 36% of income taxes to keep up with just that. So much for just taxing the rich ($500k+)- who are already paying triple the rate of lower ($30-75k) wage earners. Treasodent Obama is lying.

How many people are fooled by Obama's clever use of words? The tax code was not "skewed towards the wealthy" because the income tax does not tax weath; it taxes income. And why does he talk about "working, middle class Americans," as if to imply that more successful Americans do not work? This is nothing short of propaganda. Finally, I love the way he says "the deficit is still too high." Of course it is, because this most recent bill does almost nothing to reduce the debt!
