And so it goes on the stalled debt ceiling talks. Obama can't get what he wants because the Republicans refuse to raise taxes in a down economy and high unemployment throughout the land. Obama and his administration have had two and a half years to correct the situation and all they have done is got us deeper in debt, killed the economy and created a sustained path of unemployment for the future. His explanation? It's still Bush's fault. His course of action? Raise taxes on the wealthy. His reasoning? It's unfair that many children can't go to college while the rich folks could easily give up a couple of hundred thousand a year to help make it happen. That was his position as stated in his news conference on Monday morning.
So the new taxes have nothing to do with decreasing our debt limit and are really more about more money for entitlements. In fact, Obama wants to raise the debt limit so he can use the borrowed funds to start a new stimulus program for the country. Apparently they have found some more shovel ready jobs but we have to get the wealthy on board by way of taxes to clear the way to make it all happen. The problem is that Obama is an educated man and even he knows that we could never tax enough to get us out of debt. He would never admit it and risk inflaming his progressive liberal base. They are already on his case for extending the Bush tax cuts, which suddenly were a good idea and just as suddenly now, aren't. This is just more of his spread the wealth philosophy only now he refers to it as "share the pain." The President has shown us clearly what his future plans are for the nation. It's the same old liberal democratic plans calling for more taxes and more spending, grow the government and lead us ever closer into a socialist economy where government will take care of everything but leave you with nothing. It is exactly why they got their butts kicked last November. It is exactly why Obama has resorted to class warfare. It's his only hope of stirring up the independent voters who have abandoned him. It's the old Democratic mantra, when all else fails, blame the rich they are the ones causing all the pain and suffering. If we just tax the crap out of them everything will work out.
Has anyone ever noticed how many wealthy Democrats hold seats in Congress? I will bet they all have good tax lawyers and accountants to help them "share the pain."
I think that everything that Obama does is "shovel ready" in his mind, when if you looked at the facts of these so called shovel ready things, they are nothing but an attempt to further disrupt and destroy this nation as a free constitutional republic. He and his kind do not like that form of government. It is too restricting to him.
ReplyDeleteGreat post my friend. Sorry it took so long for me to read it.
I sure miss your insight on what you think. It's been a while since your last post. Hope all is okay.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Robert as Joe Edisto is an important voice that has elucidated Obama's disastrous vision for the United States of America. I hope you are okay Joe!
