Mr. Obama, we don't have a tax problem, we have a spending problem
Fox News ^ | February 13, 2012 | Wayne Allyn Root

Did you see President Obama's new 2013 budget? It's filled with $1.5 trillion in tax increases for the rich.

It appears that the president and his leftist cabal believe we are all stupid. They believe if you tell enough lies, the lies become fact. They spend all day, every day, trying to convince Americans that taxes on the rich are too low.

What passes for a budget should be published in either the comics (laughable) or obituary (DOA) sections.

What is even more of an insult is the a$$hat cheif of staff claiming $4 trillion in spending cuts; of which $1 Trillion is from cuts already made, another $1 Trillion for the war in Iraq that was never going to be spent, another $1 Trillion from Medicare and an additional $1 Trillion in new DoD cuts.

He is right, of course.

That said, I think there is a solid majority of Americans who are willing to believe the fairy tale that the rich are to blame for all our economic woes, and that The One just needs another term to fix all the mess Bush created.

Demographics have finally caught up with us and the country is now headed for a free fall from which it will not begin to recover until rock bottom is hit. I just hope there are enough scraps left over to where we can rebuild this once great country again.

You got it. We’ve decided not take an around the world cruise because we could not afford it. Maybe now my wife will let me buy a new car with the money we saved. :)

Didn’t Mitch McConnell say he was going to vote for it just like it is?

We the people who pay the taxes do not have a spending problem; der Fuehrer and his National Socialist Democrat party have the spending problem. They also have a thieving problem taking money from our pockets to buy the votes of the lazy, the stupid, and the billionaire oligarchs who fund and support his regime in order to protect their own assets and positions.

FUBO & FAD

How true, but they also know the sheeple nor the congress won't do a damned thing to stop the spending. I just read that the obozo is giving Egypt $800 million to aid with the Arab spring.

Unfortunately, the theme of the article suggests that obama doesn’t understand that we have a spending problem. The thoughtfulness of the article is wasted.

We have an obama problem.

The budget “savings” are as fake as the unemployment numbers

It might be a “thoughtful article”,

but it starts with accepting the premise that 0bama and the left actually have the intentions that they are stating they have.

And when you start from accepting a deceitful premise, your conclusions, no matter how “thoughtful” will be at the minimum, worthless and non-applicable, and at worst harmful and destructive.
