On the contrary, I see 20 million more people on food stamps and 5 million more on TANF.
A Dime of Taxes on the Rich
For every Dollar of Deficit.
That’s 0bama’s “Plan”.

They will accelerate the demise of America.
That’s not “zilch”!
Zilch? Naaa...it does accomplish something—the demise of the country. That’s the plan.
Here is what it accomplishes...
lower income peoples tax rates will jump the highest percentage, with a slew of people that were previously paying nothing now paying something...
and most of these were hard core fubo voters...
let them eat cake
Screw the government. It’s plenty big enough to fail. In fact, it has already failed. Thank God we can easily build a new government by simply abiding by the founding principles and the constitution!!
It boils down to this
The more Obama gets, the more he will spend.
Not one penny will go toward the debt.
Tax hikes are now necessary to demonstrate to the voting majority that elections have consequences. Republicans' should allow all of the Bush tax cuts to expire. They were only tax cuts for the wealthy according to Democrats for the past 12 years. Republicans don't have to lift a finger, just let them expire. Respond to each attack with, "we were told by Democrats that they were tax cuts for the rich" then say no more.
REVENGE
ANYONE CARE TO GUESS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FIRED/LAID OFF SINCE LAST WEEK ?
False premise.
The author is assuming that taxes are about revenue and funding government programs.
While this may be partially true for a Republican, for a democrat funding the government come in a very distant third to controlling people’s behavior and punishing political enemies.
The tax increases will accomplish one thing.
They will make things worse than they are now.............
“The tax increases will accomplish one thing.
They will make things worse than they are now............”
Many companies are already letting people go.
I don't need to guess, here's a low ball HARD number:
Since the election:

Those evil bastards trying to avoid their patriotic duty to pay as much taxes as the Government demands! Greedy corporations trying to maximize their profits for the shareholders! They didn’t build that! There is a road or a bridge somewhere near their locations that allowed them to make a profit on the backs of the poor and disadvantaged!................[oops! sorry, must have had a liberal flashback from my youth]..........
1) Revenge/punishment against the wealthy. One of the fundamental (false) beliefs of the Left is that the wealthy become that way by cheating and/or stealing it. Therefore wealth deserves punishment. (Rich Leftists are exempted, of course.)
2) The Chosen One is seen "doing something" about the economy. Once that "something" fails, all that's left is to claim that greedy capitalists are even worse than originally thought, so more severe actions are called for.
I’m all for going over the cliff and sequestration. Let all those single Obama voters making 75K to 199K learn how much money mean old George Bush actually saved them. This will also include Trumka’s union members and their working wives who will also be reintroduced to the marriage penalty. The sequestration will cut some goodies to the lower classes but it will cause massive layoffs in the evil military industrial complex that the lefties so despise. They’ll just have to explain to the int’l brotherhood of machinists and the int’l brotherhood of aerospace workers why they no longer have jobs. With cap gains back to Clinton levels, investment will dry up. Home sales will be curtailed. new home starts will fall sharply. The Dems won’t be able to complain about fairness because we’ll be returning to the tax structure of the beloved Saint Bill. How could the dems protest a return to the golden days of Clintonomics? All the GOP has to do is do nothing in the House and publicly announce that they are willing to return to the Clinton tax structure of the 90s. Keep putting Clinton’s name in every speech, interview, and press release. Run vids of Charlie rangel and other Dems whooping it up on the floor when Clinton’s taxes passed 20 years ago.Call Reid’s bluff. Call Barky’s bluff. Let’s go over the cliff.
