Barack Obama has proposed increasing every major Federal tax. He supports increasing individual income tax rates, allowing the Bush tax cuts, which cut rates for all income levels, to expire. He has proposed almost doubling the capital gains tax rate, from 15% today to 28%. He supports more than doubling the tax on dividends, from 15% to as high as 39%. He has proposed numerous corporate tax increases. He supports increasing the death tax back to the stratospheric levels that applied before President Bush. He supports increasing the payroll tax on higher income earners.
In other words, if you run a profitable small business, you can expect to be plundered by the Obamanistas from every angle. If you work for a small business, you can expect to be looking for another job.
Indeed, as economics writer Amity Shlaes has written, Obama promises exactly the same economic policy Herbert Hoover used to turn a downturn in 1929 into the Great Depression.

But Obama needs those tax increases to finance his promised massive increases in government spending approaching a trillion dollars over four years. All projections show that America cannot afford all the entitlement promises it has already made, with Federal spending projected to almost double relative to the economy over the next 35 years. Obama just ignores this looming crisis, and, instead, promises to add the largest entitlement of all, national health insurance. All of these nationalized health programs around the world start by promising free health care for everyone, but end up with rigid, stifling bureaucracies designed to deny care to control runaway costs.

BUT THIS IS ONLY the beginning.

Many more reasons to fear Barry are listed in the article.
I am gonna vote for him. I love to get my taxes raised.(sarcasm)
It’s so nice to see intelligent, substantive critiques of Obama’s leftist views instead of “he’s a closet Jihadist who will jumnp out of the election cake in Januray 08 and pop a cap in Whitey’s a$$.”
FUUUUNNNNYYYYY!!!!!
Send this article to your friends and relatives. Forget the rumors that he’s a Muslim or wasn’t born in the USA. These are hard facts that need to be read by any who may be inclined to believe his message of “hope” and “change.” If he’s elected we’d better HOPE that he’d leave us with more than CHANGE in our pockets.
I make way too much money. It’s about time we get a candidate that will fix that. Once all my money has been stolen by the gummit I can get over my guilt.
Each reason enough in it’s own right but all compiled together spells disaster for our country!!
Your elite masters will decide when you are over your guilt.

If I don’t have any money left and they take all my property and possessions that I never deserved because I was just lucky anyway, what else is there to feel guilty about?
Oh yeah I’ll still have my thoughts and my faith. Guess they need to take that too.
What are the odds The Messiah is bleaching his skin? He has started turning Michael Jackson White.
“But Obama needs those tax increases to finance his promised massive increases in government spending approaching a trillion dollars over four years.”
And therein lies the crux of the issue... The DhimmiRat LibTards blindly believe that there is no issue in American life that cannot be improved with just a bit more government intervention. And, they don’t give a rip about who has to pay for their largesse.
It’s well past time for us to stop this damaging nonsense, and force our elected officials to represent us, within the terms of the US Constitution.
Electing Obama-Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong is a recipe for fiscal disaster that will take another 30 years to rectify; if we can.
I’m no fan of Juan McLame, but he’s got to be a better choice than this stuffed shirt, empty headed choir boy for progressivism.
The evidence is overwhelming:

If he is elected, Burp will be the proud overseer of the largest business failure the world has ever seen and the move by thousands of other American companies to take their corporate HQ offshore to more tax-friendly nations.
If he is elected, I give Burp about 2 years before voters’ “buyer’s remorse” sets in and he has to have an entire brigade of Secret Service and military to protect him everywhere he goes.
He could be the most devastating (and last) Dem president ever elected. I’m sure that Jimmuh Cahter would LOVE to have someone take his place in that category!!
I’ll bet I can give you websites saying Bush was a coke dealer and 9-11 was an inside job too. Keep distracting ourselves with this BS (true or false, who cares) instead of real issues, and we get the kind of bozo leaders we keep electing
