Earth to Washington???

The Senate rejected an attempt to form a deficit task force today. Why? Normally it would be proactive and dare I say responsible for our elected officials to look a little into the future and try to predict how their votes will affect Americans, but not in this case.

In this case what they (Democrats) want to do is raise taxes to help our deficit. Depending on what you political ideology is this may be a good idea but higher taxes are never a good idea when we are in a recession or at all for that matter, but even Obama has said before raising taxes in a recession is a bad idea... Why does he want to raise taxes then?

Because when Liberals or Democrats are in charge they think the government must be the end all be all for it's citizens and all of that bureaucracy and corruption results in trillions of taxpayer dollars to operate. Republicans believe the govt should provide basic necessities like strong military, money for roads, education, pro business, and enabling the free market but they must be unobtrusive in your life. Stark contrasts but they are very accurate generally and reasonably speaking.

Here's the kicker. Obama realizes to fund his enormous social spending government bureaucracy he needs more money and has to go back on his word that if you make less than 250k a year your taxes won't go up. But, if he appoints a "task force" and they recommend raising taxes, well Obama is just listening to the "experts" and he had no choice but to raise taxes that way he didn't break another of his numerous campaign promises...

The dirty little secret here is this task force which is mostly comprised of Democrats, Obama's majority, they don't want to put their necks on the line and be the ones to say we must raise taxes during an election year. So, the tax increases, when they deem them necessary, won't be effective until after the November 2010 elections.

Just another shining example of how Washington thinks Americans are stupid and can justify anything they do because we aren't smart enough to figure it out. Not on my watch Chief!!!

Either way, Obama will raise your taxes despite your income level and here's a newsflash, he already has! He just doesn't want to be the one responsible for doing so because it hurts his re election chances. Obama is being untruthful by trying to manipulate tax increases but if he came out and raised them across the board and said here's why ( unions, social programs, health care, global warming) he knows America won't stand for it.

Our economic situation is getting more and more desperate with regards to inflation and the weakening of the dollar but that's a different topic to be discussed later. Bottom line for Obama is to fix this recession he must cut taxes across the board and allow businesses to expand and hire employees to pay taxes and grow our economy. But, he is a Liberal big government Democrat and it isn't in him to do so. Our loss and all of the unions and social welfare beneficiaries gain at our expense...
