Obama needs your money to do whatever he does.
You voted for him so now pay him.
Do you think Congress should extend the expiring middle-class tax cuts?

President Obama is heading back out on the campaign trail this week -- this time to pressure Congress to extend the expiring middle-class tax cuts. Lest anyone miss the holiday spin of this public campaign, the White House issued an analysis Monday predicting how the automatic tax increases could hurt the winter shopping season. Obama is expected to mention its findings, including its estimate that the hike would put a $200-billion crimp in consumer spending in 2013.

So you tell me how the Republicans could avoid being blamed? Obama and the Dems will find a way to pass the buck!
The only time Obama takes credit is if something positive happens, like when they killed Bin Laden. Otherwise, its the REPUBLICANS fault!
The real problem in this country is the outrageous spending. It isn't helping us is it. With $6 trillion spent in the last four years we are still over 8% unemployment and the U6 rate is 14.6%.
The tax increases would fund government for an entire 8 days ! http://www.breitbart.com/Big-...
Even if we take 100% of the money from the rich we would government for something like 236 days. This is a joke.
The more money we give these people the more they spend. When has the government ever cut the national debt ? They don't deserve our tax money !
Where are the Democrats on compromise ? http://www.breitbart.com/Big-...
Obama's spending spree.....

We are going down the wrong path in this country ! Enough of the class warfare. For some of you liberals stop worrying how much other people contribute to society and start worrying what you contribute to society !
1)Lobbyists - who make a living buying tax favors for campaign contributions.
2)dirty Congress critters - who make a living selling tax favors for campaign contributions.
3)income tax preparation scammers and IRS officials - who make a living based on the income tax system.
4)criminals (including illegal aliens) - who make their money on the black market and don't pay income taxes.
5)people who just plain don't understand it and are afraid of what they don't understand.
Which one are you?
It is all explained quite simply so that even you can understand it at the Fair Tax web site.
Taxing the rich hurts everyone including the 700,000+ who will be added to the unemployment lines. Be prepared you fools.

Grow some BALLS and take responsibility for Once. Everything in this country that is WRONG is in NO WAY all the fault of the reps... Don't forget.. ANY BILL that gets passed and Signed has to be voted on by BOTH PARTIES and then signed by the President reguardless which side he may come from
What SHOULD be the top talking point is to TAX WALL STREET! Tax them in a way that cannot be passed off onto anybody else. That is done by taxing the turnover or transfer of securities of all kinds. A FULL 1% OFF THE TOP EVERY TIME. I am not interested in the crocodile tears that would protest that such a tax would hit the same security many times. Boo F-ing Hoo.
Wall Street and the Too Big To Fail Banks are responsible for this depression and the stench of economic death that hangs over us. There is roughly TWO QUADRILLION in derivatives and fictitious capital that gets churned every year. It uses arbitrage as the main crowbar to steal wealth out of the economy without any productive activity to show for it.
Because the wealth is largely fictitious, a 1% tax on every securities sale or turnover will enable the controlled draining of the world's biggest swamp. If Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan want to do flash trades of millions per second, GREAT! ONE FULL PERCENT OFF THE TOP EVERY DAMN TIME.
If we don't claw back all that stolen wealth, that giant global financial cancer will destroy us and the wealth will ult...

If we don't claw back all that stolen wealth, that giant global financial cancer will destroy us and the wealth will ultimately be lost forever. We may have to go into a Command Economy for a few decades to reestablish sane economic function. Free markets can NOT function with so much corruption and cancer.
AND 'QUIT SENDING $$$ TO OTHER COUNTRIES~~
"PROBLEM SOLVED"!
The tax cuts were not "tax cuts for the rich." (This is also a spin - on the same set of tax cuts - to jab at Bush and other Republicans.)
The tax cuts were across the board for all.
They were also a "band-aid" temporary "fix." They should not be extended (although that would be better than just letting them expire.) Instead, Congress should enact true tax reform. They should pass H.R. 25 and S. 13. Read more about it HERE.
AND CUT SPENDING!
That will get America working again.
But that isn't what DC really wants.
Unemployed people get federal hand-outs, and vote to keep the enablers in power.
DC LOVES power, not America.
