Obama : "You have 80% of the American people who support a balanced approach. 80% of the American people support an approach that includes revenues and includes cuts. So the notion that somehow the American people aren't sold is not the problem. The problem is members of Congress are dug in ideologically."

[LottieDah]

Obama must mean 80% of liberals want higher taxes so they can be more generous with those on the dole.

[Carl Vehse]

Maybe 80 percent of the people who pay no income taxes are in favor of increasing their taxes by some percentage.

[scbison]

I wAnt increase revenues by GROWING THE ECONOMY AND EXPANDING THE TAX BASE!

[bgill]

Really, no lie, 80%? Finally, I’ve made it into the minority. When can I get my government freebies?

[Clink]

Wow. Does he keep score like this on the golf course?

Well, last week he scored a hole-in-one and put down a 0.

A Modest Proposal:

In order to raise revenues impose a 3% tax on the 48% of workers who do not now pay income taxes. Any actuaries out there who could come up with the revenues generated by that move?

[BookmanTheJanitor]

This is all it’s really ever been for the Dems...TAXES. All the other talk (debt ceiling, deficit reduction) is so phony. They just want to raise taxes...and that’s it.

“I actually do not think he is lying, he really believes what he says.
He is insane, and or delusional”.

Agreed. Its not Barack Hussein Obama, its Barack INSANE Obama

[Kartographer]

There are lies, DAMN LIES and the words coming out of Bammy’s mouth!

Dear, sweet Mister Obama. This is a WINNING stratedy! Run 2012 on your commitment to MUCH higher taxes -- and drastically reduced services, too!

I guarantee you, sir, your approval rate will shoot up to 200, maybe even 300%!

[stephenjohnbanker]

80% DONT want the ceiling raised.

[blasater1960]

As that pig Rosie Odonnell says: Deluuuuuuuusional!

[EyeGuy]

C’mon Folks you are missing the simple math of this.

I believe well over 40% of Americans pay no income tax-ALL Obama voters no doubt.

Any multiplier of zero, is of course zero.

So when your tax rate is zero, what have you got to lose by supporting higher taxes on others?

Alright, 48% of the workforce is around 60,000,000 workers. Say they average $25,000/year. A 3% tax would mean that they would pay $750/year, and that would generate 45 billion dollars. I say do it.

[cashless]

I agree. 80% of every fellow Communist, Socialist, Leninist, Trotskyite, Maoist, “blame America”, C3 amigo loving (Che, Chavez &Castro), Muslim Brotherhood supporting, POS who never has had a job or paid a single tax welfare scum sucking low life agrees with this Fool in Chief. The other 20% were too busy standing in line for methadone, medical marijuana, or panhandling permits. That's HIS PEOPLES.

Oops almost forgot the other two classes of vermin who agree: career politicians and trial lawyers.

I forgot to mention . . . . the EIC has got to go!

[blackdog]

Not one reporter axed him to cite a reference for his 80% overwhelming majority of Americans.

The problem is not with Obama. If my kids lie to me at every turn and I don't question them, I am the problem, not my kids.
