The bottom line is this pinko can’t pay for all his socialist garbage policies without raising taxes through the roof. He can sit there and say he’s going to raise taxes on only small businesses and corporations but those costs get passed right back to consumers and business owners will cut jobs. Its been proven time and time again that no group of “rich” people can ever support the rest of a nation. Eventually, the middle class takes the brunt of everything. Someone should ask him how he plans for pay for the following, by simply rolling back the Bush tax cuts for the “rich.”
Among his proposed “investments”:
• “Universal,” “guaranteed” health care.
• “Free” college tuition.
• “Universal national service” (a la Havana).
• “Universal 401(k)s” (in which the government would match contributions made by “low- and moderate-income families”).
• “Free” job training (even for criminals).
• “Wage insurance” (to supplement dislocated union workers’ old income levels).
• “Free” child care and “universal” preschool.
• More subsidized public housing.
• A fatter earned income tax credit for “working poor.”
• And even a Global Poverty Act that amounts to a Marshall Plan for the Third World, first and foremost Africa.
I had not heard about the Global Poverty Act. Geeez.
