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..."

This atlas is about to.
The lies just keep on coming. I just saw an Obama ad that has a hunter in camo saying he supports Obama and..........this is where my jaw dropped.......Obama supports gun rights.
What kind of sick, twisted, twilight zone world have I entered.
“And I am sure McCain will bring this up in the debate.”
What worries me is I am not so sure he will bring it up. I am going to be watching for it. He also needs to run this clip on TV spots.
Unfortunately, the incentives will take a different form. Obama will establish a nation-wide public service program with inducements to participate. At first, it may take the form of tax credits or stipends to participate, but it could then easily move on to favored access to public benefits, and as the economy goes down, preferred access to essentials like gasoline, utilities, and food. Sounds far fetched? The first stages of an Obama national youth service program are already being planned.
RUN WITH THIS TOMORROW NIGHT McCAIN.
This is not a negative to a large segement of the American population. Class envy has been a big factor to the poor for many years, Obama is now selling and expanding this concept to the middle class and the more they hear about getting even with the wealthy the more they like it. This election cycle makes it more sellable to the middle class because of the economic debacle and reports of wall street greed. The perfect storm.
