I remember when Bill Clinton ran on cutting taxes for the middle class. A promise he made I believe. Very shortly after he was elected he imposed a rather hefty tax increase for everyone including the middle class. I know my paycheck went down a couple notches. Not only that he made it retroactive before he even took office. Nice touch there Bill.
Obama already said he's roll back the Bush tax cut straight out of the gate. If my math is correct that would be a tax increase on the middle class.
When he's done fleecing my paycheck then he'll come after the mean nasty rich people that make over 250k a year. That would be the guy who signs my paycheck. But that's ok, I'm sure he won't lay anyone off.
Don't forget one thing. The first six years of Bush in spite of the war on terror, the economy was doing pretty darn good. The last two years after power shifted in congress is when things started going south.
Who was it that was running Freddie and Fanny that started this mess? Who was it that said everything was just dandy and not to worry? Not the GOP.
If Obama gets elected I think the American people are in for quite a shock. Be careful what you wish for... you may get it.
