I've said repeatedly that Obama lies as easily as he breathes. More proof of this has been self-evident in his "giving 95% of voters a tax-cut." (Only I guess its not as self-evident as I would like it to be - because liberals are stupid and do not look at facts when their Messiah speaks.)
But here's the thing. The bottom roughly 37% of citizens do not pay federal taxes. So that means that under his plan only 58% will get a "tax-cut". Those bottom 37%ers will be getting PURE WELFARE. Stolen directly from the small business owners of America (87% of which fall in the top 5%.)
See if you are self-employed, and you run a business it is likely you fall into the top 5%. But that doesn't make you wealthy - not by a long shot.
But the bottom 37% that do not pay taxes would receive a check with monies in it taken directly from the small businesses.
But a word about the top 5% as well...
Small businesses create the overwhelming majority of new jobs. Taxing them additionally (in most cases raising their tax rate to over 40% according to Obama's plan) will cause them to RAISE PRICES and LAY OFF WORKERS. Thusly goods and services become MORE expensive for that bottom 95%.
Not a big deal to the lowest 37% because they have that new free money that grew on trees. But it directly squeezes the middle class into sacrificial territory.
In other words - Barack Obama is seeking to directly PUNISH the middle class by his bait and switch tax welfare program.
Which is why a self-employed plumber like this guy needed to ask the candidate first hand, "Why you punishing me for working hard?" To which the communist candidate responds in as marxian a tone as possible, "I'm trying to spread the wealth around..."

The $250,000 is NET income - Before taxes, overhead, and payroll. He's going to destroy the small business and his middle class target. The poor have no money and therefore no power, but if he can bring the middle class down to the poverty level, the number of government dependents (democrat voters) will multiply dramatically, but not by peoples choice.
Breaking down the middle class is his goal. His preacher training has some people reved about .....well, they don't know....they're just reved for "some reason." It's the preaching trick. They think he's actually fighting FOR them, rather than against them.
Preachers are very good at what they do. They start off slow and rhythmic. They "set the beat." They start of softly, then go a little louder, then a little louder, and when the crowd looks ready, they hit it home. In Obomas case, the useful idiots cheer. Afterwords, through, they have no idea what he just said.
Isn't that the truth!? This must be the most tone-deaf comment by a politician in history. More proof this man CANNOT think on his feet and is totally unqualified for dog catcher (forgive me FReeper Dog Catchers).
That's why socialism always fails. The key words here are "SHARING THE WORK". The left wing base wants to feed on the harvest without helping with the sowing, weeding, trimming, and gathering.
A nation cannot survive on feeders alone. Think Joseph Stalin.
Nobody is even mentioning his bill that makes the U.S. directly under report to the U.N. and responsible for getting rid of world poverty...which he will of course sign in.
That's the only reason Capitalism is failing. Sharing the wealth of the producers with those who don't produce at all is like throwing it down a garbage disposal. Nothing ever comes back out!
If the WORK was shared, everyone would earn their own keep, and all would be prosperous. There would be no big divide. It would be inevitable.
Share the WORK, Oboma! Otherwise, let those who've earned their bounty eat, and let those who have not also feed on what they've sown as well. Let's keep this country fair.
I’d think there would be alternatives along the Tea Party.
And I am sure McCain will bring this up in the debate.
Let’s not forget all of the illegals who will receive government subsidized health care in addition to continued welfare payments.
Yep.
Bump.
If this socialist trash gets elected to the presidency, I will have no faith left for our country.”
Yeah, for the first time in my adult life, I will be embarrassed of my country. Our military should just walk away, it wouldn’t be worth defending the neo-socialist USA. Let the gays, heterosexuals, transvestites, atheists, and the black liberation theorists defend themselves.
“I’m trying to spread the wealth around...”
Obama is just repeating some mainline Democrat ideas such as:
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_each_according_to_his_ability_to_each_according_to_his_need
“We need to pray....”
######
Yes we do.
I certainly could do much better.
I participate in Eucharistic Adoration at my church, and was encouraged to see a number of prayer intentions concerning OUR side in the upcoming election.
People of faith seem to understand what is at stake here.
And taxpayers deliberately learn to live on less to avoid becoming a slave.
Bartering is also getting big, especially on the Internet. It would be nice if the American people worked together and traded goods instead of cash and just left the politicians out of it all together.
An Oboma presidency (with a far left wing house) may just be the thing that starts the people-FOR-people tax rebellion.

I like your idea, cap.
That’s the first and best thing we can do, and we still get busy! We cannot allow this socialist in the White House!
I saw this clip, and that guy was not likin’ it. *Poof* there went another Obama supporter.
Strike "becoming bolder" and insert "taking over"
I think you meant gross income. Net income would be after taxes, overhead, payroll, etc.
Heres a little test for MR. Obama how about we start spreading that wealth around beginning with your money Mr. Obama? Will you do it Mr.Obama? I need some cash really bad and I’ll even give my address so you can send it. I’m waiting for an answer from you Mr. Obama. I know you and your campaign people read this and many other message boards so come on, spread that wealth. I’m posting this exact same message all over the internet just so you will not miss it.
We can only hope so
