MORE TAX INCREASES ON THE RICH: NOW THE POOR GET FAT
Plouffe explains more tax increases: “As you know, we made public our offer to Speaker Boehner, over $1 trillion in additional spending cuts, $400 billion in entitlement savings. This is really serious stuff, on top of the over $1 trillion we’ve already signed into law. So the barrier to progress here isn’t our position of […]
OBAMA TRILLION DOLLAR TAX INCREASE: DEAL WITH IT
January 7, 2013
Rep Smith(D) recently spoke to The Hill about sequestration: “At a certain point the industry has to deal with what’s coming at them. They did what they could, but just the broader challenges of addressing our deficit issues are too great for anyone at this point.” Yesterday on Face The Nation Pelosi discussed future post […]

December 30, 2012
This morning Obama was there for NBC and they were there for him: “Republicans will have to decide if they’re going to block it, which will mean that middle-class taxes do go up. I don’t think they would want to do that politically, but they may end up doing it. If all else fails, if […]
FRANCE OVERTURNS 75% TAX ON SUCCESSFUL
December 29, 2012
Thus far, in a rapidly deteriorating economy, the American people have not experienced the results. Government has stepped in, with it’s entitlement cushions, to camouflage reality.

THE OBAMA CLIFF: ANOTHER DOG AND PONY SHOW BEFORE WE GO OVER
December 28, 2012
This afternoon Obama and the congressional leaders are set to meet at the White House in another ‘last ditch’ effort. Once again Obama brings no plan, only hope for change to move forward.

OBAMA AND REID SAY TAKE US OVER: GOP MUST PASS TAX CUTS FOR ALL
December 27, 2012
Regardless of how you felt about the offers Boehner made to Obama, none were accepted. With a few days remaining before the fiscal deadline, passed legislation from the House still sits in Reid’s ‘desk drawer’. Obama’s back in DC to save the day and Reid just submitted another brief statement. Reid: “It is time for […]
