I get a kick out of the Obama tax cut. A whopping $500 or $1000 of worthless printed up cash eaten up by rising prices. Geesh

That gal that thought she was gonna get rich because of Obama is going to be so disappointed.

So long as idiots and parasites are allowed to vote the problem will never be solved. It will only get worse.

Yes, and I think that a simple IQ test to be eligible to vote, would solve that problem, and I mean simple!

Have the GOP start leaking to the media that there is a movement among the population to stop producing wealth because of the current and possible future tax structure...

That's not an unreal threat. I'm self employed, and I plan to make just enough to get by on in the future. Why should I work myself into exhaustion only to have the Federal Government come and take it away? I can work like a maniac, but make no more money than I would have if I had worked at a more leisurely pace and kept more of it.

I think a lot of people actually are going to look at it that way.

Copy that, only in my case the business is tanking so we're not spending.

Thank you. We need to stop purely blaming the politicos and blame the jackasses who put them in. I mean, look at Murtha’s district. He insults them (never mind GIs) on 2 separate occasions and they put him back in.

obama is not the problem. obama is only the symptom of the problem. The problem is the people who elected him.

Absolutely right. And what is the root cause of the problem of an incredibly stupid electorate? Education firmly in the grip of unions, marxists and communists. Other than home schooling maybe 10% of our nation's children, what is the solution to that problem?

Sadly I have to agree with you - having also postulated the same belief that the only thing that will really snap the American sheeple (voters) back to some measure of sanity will be as a result of a major islamo terrorist attack here on US soil - with the aftermath demonstrating the totally flawed / worthless policies of Obama I say this as the father of a son who was at "ground zero" in NYC on 9-11

The loyal opposition that literally robbed the bank at taxpayers expense. A pox on them all.

IMHO; it will take far more than the above subtleties of gamemanship to solve the problem of Obama. . .

We need Repub Leadership willing to define graphically; articulately. . .the TRUTH of the sinister MO of Obama and why this MO for Change is ANTI-America; rather than 'Pro'. Without this, Republicans; Capitalism; and our Constitution will soon be rendered 'null and void' as Obama Inc. deftly crafts America's Collective future.

(For starters,by Obama's innocent comment/ recent warning to Repubs, of Rush Limbaugh's influence; our Leadership should be explaining immediately and loudly, how Obama's comments as well as the Dem's rising efforts to enact 'Fairness Doctrine' are only a variation of what is otherwise recognized as the 'Leftist/Communist' inspired, Re-Education Program. Words mean things and too many Repubs afraid to use honest, powerful words. We need the truth and nothing but; and we need powerful sound-bites 'out there' in the Media, everyday.)

The above 'Town Hall' menu assumes a great deal of 'surmising' on behalf of a public that it being educated - and anethesized - by the Left; and assumes as well, the message will have an authentic translation.

All to say. . .Repub's need an MO and a daily message - or or 'scream' - that will 'wake and shake' all good citizens, efore it is too late.

(and to say as well; we need now, more than ever; Republicans with 'backbone' who are willing to tell the truth. . .)

It is so sad how our people have become. So spoiled rotten that even the worst single ambush attack at home in the history of the world doesn’t make them see straight.

In marketing, the customer base only sticks around when the product delivers as promised.


If the price point is too high, performance doesn’t matter.

Everyone is currently competing for the title of Cheapest Person On The Planet. No one I know (all of whom are still employed or in business at some level) is spending a single dime if they aren’t forced to do so.

zerO and the donks have raised *prices* (aka: the cost of living comfortably) to the breaking point. We need utilities, food, minimum transport to work, taxes and (if we are really feeling affluent) insurance. zerO’s policies are making these essentials more expensive and all we can do is cut out everything else.

For a people accustomed to having discretionary income, this new extreme frugality becomes wearing. I look at our savings and imagine what life will be like when it is devalued by 90% and my levels of animosity towards the entire government, from County to Federal and everything in between, rises to stroke levels.

But I do not think people will vote for the GOP. They will vote for the conservative donk who doesn’t run on morality or religion and instead positions themselves to lower the basic, essential costs of survival.

They may come to hate zerO, but I fear they will continue to vote for him and to give him poll points. Otherwise, they will have to question themselves and I don’t think people do that any longer.

I see one thing that could defeat all of them: if government and union pensions fail, the donk constituency may just rebel. There has been an increase in anxiety from formerly sanguine liberals whom I know and it is all based on the fear that their pensions will revert to the federal guarantees, which are much lower, with higher medical insurance co-pays. Every level of government has raised tax rates or will, soon. But they cannot raise the number of taxpayers or their AGI.

We can all see the inflation coming at us. Combine it with lower income and vanished security and we will either become a nation of dispirited slaves or a nation of rebels.

Also, none of the promised checks and benefits are going to reach anyone before next Fall. It isn’t possible. Those counting on that money are going to become very anxious and then feel betrayed. They are going to look for scapegoats. I think it will be anyone still earning a living and going about their lives as they did 18 months ago.

I just am not counting on a rational reaction.

Have the GOP start leaking to the media that there is a movement among the population to stop producing wealth because of the current and possible future tax structure...IE—letting the Bush tax cuts expire....

Not a rumour, a goal in my life. I sold some investment real estate in 2008 and as long as I kept my net income below $65,000 the capital gains tax was 0% (Bush's tax plan), normally 15% fed and 9% state. I know that isn't much money for earnings but I have a lot of rentals and alot of expenses and the fed and state are getting nada from me for 2008.

Not one dime in 2009, either.
