Recession, credit crisis, massive war debts, massive national debt, medicare & Social security in big trouble. And with the Recession even Big Business & the rich have less to give. Obama’s universal health care program alone will be the biggest welfare program in US history.
The is no way that Obama could not tax the middle class if he wants all his new welfare programs. He has to tax them. But he sure won’t tell anyone that until of course he’s already in office.
How is he going to pay? Exactly as you stated: He is GOING TO TAX THE MIDDLE CLASS! Anyone who believes otherwise is fooling themselves.
Even if.. let’s just pretend for a minute,.. even if Obama is "just going to tax business," how do you think that affects the middle class?
Well, Thompson said it best, IMO:
Now our opponents… They tell you they are not going to tax your family. No, they’re just going to tax "businesses"! So unless you buy something from a "business", like groceries or clothes or gasoline … or unless you get a paycheck from a big or a small "business", don’t worry … it’s not going to affect you. -Fred Thompson
