Note To The Middle Class: You Shall Be Taxed
August 2, 2009 / 10:35 am • By Dr. Melissa ClouthierSilly, silly, voters. Taxes are for everybody–kids, too!
Tim Geithner was on with George Stephenopoulis and said that “we have to bring down the deficits very dramatically and that will require tough choices.” [By the way, ABC, the fact that I can't pull a quote from your stupid site makes me not want to link your stupid site. It's bad online etiquette to have relationships go one way.] Anyway, a couple notes:
1. The deficits were created by you with all the bailouts.
2. Now, you want the American people to pay for regulatory mistakes the government made that killed industries twice over.
See, people who invested in banks or real estate or car companies or companies that served car companies, lost all their money. Then, their tax dollars were used to bail these idiotic industries out. Now, the American people are being asked to accept higher taxes to pay off deficits created by the above.
Adding insult to injury, the American people will be asked to do this AFTER they had been promised that there would be no taxation for 95% of the American people. Yeah, right.
Basically, if you produce anything, make anything, contribute anything to the American economy, You Will Be Taxed. Doug Mataconis says, “I’s pretty clear that Obama’s agenda precludes the possibility of significant, meaningful, budget cuts that will actually do something about the size of the budget deficit.”
That was pretty clear during the campaign.
