Default Here comes the tax increases

"95% of all Americans will get a tax cut." First lie. "If you make under $250k per year you won't see your taxes go up one dime." Second lie... two of many so far.

The feds are raising the tabacco tax from .39 a pack to 1.01 a pack. A few weeks ago the manufactures already raised the price of a pack .71 to offset their losses so in a month the feds caused the price to go up $1.72 per pack. That's going to hit a lot of poor and middle class people.

I guess smoking isn't the best thing to do anyway but none the less it's still legal and still a freedom people have.

So how are smoke shop owners going to be hit? How many will close? How will it effect tobacco farmers? How many people may the tobacco companies lay off?

Then we have Obama's cap-n-trade coming that will cause massive price increases in gas, electricity and home heating oil costs for the average American.

Then of course he will let the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010 which will again hit each and every one of us right in the pay check.

The Obama government is a runaway freight train operating completely unchecked free to do whatever they wish and to whom ever they wish.

Yes indeed, change you can count on. Even if you voted for Obama I would strongly suggest in the next election you cast your vote to get the Republication congress back in majority. That is the ONLY chance we have to at least slow down this madness.
