Barack Obama Says that Wanting Lower Taxes is Selfish

 Barack Obama originally said that his tax plan calls for increasing the taxes of those who make over $250,000. Recently in a speech he refined the number to $200,000 and even more recently Joe Biden was heard saying that the number was $150,000. The number has been slowly creeping downwards.

 Barack Obama’s numbers do not add up, he has proposed $1 trillion in new spending and increasing the taxes on people making over $250,000 is not enough to pay for all of his socialistic ideas. Giving a tax break to 95% of Americans, whether they pay taxes or not, is not feasible with all of his proposed spending. Ain’t gonna happen. He is full of shit. So the number is coming down, slowly but surely until most working Americans are facing a tax increase.

 Barack Obama is also going to let the Bush tax cuts expire which will raise the taxes on middle class America. The man is lying about his tax policy and people are falling for it just as they did when Bill Clinton promised a middle class tax cut. We are still waiting for that tax cut.

 Barack Obama has now upped his attack on those of us who do not want our taxes raised. He calls us selfish.

“John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic,” Obama continued. “You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.”

 My wife and I are middle class, we are doing alright for ourselves. We have some extra money, but not allot. We realize that even though Obama is promising not to raise our taxes that his spending proposals can’t be met without increasing our taxes, and middle class Americans would be well served if they also came to this conclusion. My wife and I work hard to provide for our two teenage boys and it isn’t easy.

 When I hear Barack Obama call people who have the audacity (of hope) to want to keep more of their hard earned money so that they can better provide for their own families it really burns my ass. There is nothing more important in this life than making sure that you can provide for your family. Family comes first. Barack Obama’s plan will make it harder for me and my wife to provide for our families, if it makes me selfish in Obama’s eyes than so be it.

 We already know that Obama doesn’t share the same opinion as I do, just ask his aunt who lives in a slum in Boston or his brother who lives in a shack in Kenya.
