OBAMA'S BROKEN TAX PLEDGE

A show of hands ... how many of you are shocked by Barack Obama's broken tax pledge? That's what I thought. You may remember Barack Obama pledging that "if your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime." At the same time, he promised the American public healthcare reform, cap-and-trade, and other programs requiring more spending. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Obama would have to pay for his dreams and schemes somehow ... and since the government does not create wealth but merely takes it at the point of a gun ... he is going to need the force of government to get the money. A lot of it. More than he can get his hands on merely by taxing the evil rich.

So the Community Organizer now says that he is "agnostic" about raising taxes on families earning less than $250,000 a year. First of all, let's clear up this word "agnostic," which means a person unwilling to commit to an opinion about something. Well gee, Mr. President ... I'm sure that there are a lot of taxpayers out there who DO have an opinion on their taxes and earnings. After all, it is OUR money and not Obama or the government's money.

For those of you who are absolutely certain to entertain a tax increase - you filthy rich people - Obama doesn't want you to feel like you are being punished. He wants you to see it as a viable way to "deal with debt and deficits in a realistic way." Because we all know that taxing the achievers is how we are going to turn the tide of this economy ...

But when it comes down to it, Barack Obama has things figured out. Are you ready for this? Obama says, "Our real problem is not the spike in spending last year, or the lost, even the lost revenues last year, as significant as those are ... The real problem has to do with the fact that there is a just a mismatch between the amount of money coming in and the amount of money going out. And that is going to require some big, tough choices that, so far, the political system has been unable to deal with."

I hope you re-read that one a few times. According to the Community Organizer, our real problem is not record levels of government spending. That is not the problem. Our problem is a "mismatch" in funds. And how do you sure up a mismatch in outrageous government spending? Generate more tax revenue.
