Obama's claim can only be attributed to willful self delusion. Nothing else makes sense.

FUBO

Oh, he hasn’t lost touch with reality. He never had a hold of it in the first place.

Lies.

Today’s Rasmussen poll shows a strong majority against any tax increase.

80% of WHAT people? Kenyans? The Chinese? Mexico? Dang the guy is clueless/thinks he’s a feudal lord. We can’t pay MORE taxes, there’s no money. The serfs will revolt.

55% Oppose Tax Hike In Debt Ceiling Deal
Thursday, July 14, 2011

As the Beltway politicians try to figure out how they will raise the debt ceiling and for how long, most voters oppose including tax hikes in the deal.

Just 34% think a tax hike should be included in any legislation to raise the debt ceiling. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 55% disagree and say it should not. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

There is a huge partisan divide on the question. Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Democrats want a tax hike in the deal while 82% of Republicans do not. Among those not affiliated with either major political party, 35% favor a tax hike and 51% are opposed.

Americans who earn more than $75,000 a year are evenly divided as to whether a tax hike should be included in the debt ceiling deal. Those who earn less are opposed to including tax hikes.

Voters remain very concerned about the debt ceiling issue. Sixty-nine percent (69%) believe that it would be bad for the economy if a failure to raise the debt ceiling led to government defaults. Only 6% believe it would be good for theeconomy. Fourteen percent (14%) believe it would have no impact and 11% are notsure. These figures are little changed from a few weeks ago.

At the same time, however, 52% believe it would beeven more dangerous to raise the debt ceiling without making significant cuts in government spending. Thirty-seven percent (37%) take the opposite view and believe a government default would be more dangerous.

So what he’s saying is that even 20% of the hardcore communists he surrounds himself with oppose higher taxes...

Does he mean 80% of the 50% who pay NO taxes want higher taxes?

Just clarifying his blather.

Do the members of this alleged 80% want their own taxes raised, or just taxes for “millionaires and billionaires?” One definition of a democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.
