Get ready for tax increases
President Obama just changed his position from “not a dime” of tax increases for those making less than $250,000 per year to “agnostic” on tax increases to the middle class. The next change will be tax increases for the entire middle class. I’m sure it will be President Bush’s fault. However, let’s not forget that the Democrats (including President Obama) have had control of the House and Senate since the 2006 election.
Add tax increases to the list of broken promises including:
- Going through the budget line by line and page by page. This was a broken campaign promise. It was made again in the State of the Union address. Expect it to be broken again, repeated again, broken again…
- Open and transparent government. All bills online for public review before being voted on. CSPAN coverage of health care debates. ETC. ETC. ETC…
- Closing Guantanamo
- Bi-partisanship
- No lobbyists and special interest groups. They are different lobbyists and special interest groups than the prior administration, but they are still there
- Unemployment will not go above 8% if we implement his stimulus bill
- Health Care reform. The promise was that premiums would go down and there would be no impact to the deficit. Nothing proposed thus far would reduce premiums, ”bend the growth curve”, or be deficit neutral (unless you add in the proposed job killing taxes “fees”)
President Obama has set us on a path to overbearing government control. Bigger government = bigger waste. All these broken promises are just means to that end and will, inevitably, lead to higher/oppressive taxation.
Our only hope is to stop this madness with our continued involvement and well-informed votes in 2010 and 2012.
