Taxes, Surpluses And Other Obama Lies

First, let's talk taxes. Obama claims, over and over again, that he will give a tax cut to 95% of Americans, and increase taxes on the "Super Rich" and corporations. Of course, he defines the "Super Rich" as those who make $250,000 a year or more, but that includes small businesses. Now, I know that Obama keeps saying that it's only a very small percentage of small businesses that make that much money, but that simply is not true. You see, we're not talking about the profits of these businesses, we're talking about the gross income, so, if you tax them based on those incomes, there is no question that they will have to lay people off, or close entirely. And, as for Corporations, the US already has the second highest corporate tax rate in the world, and increasing that will cost jobs, as companies move to protect their bottom lines, or simply move overseas and shut down their US operations. So, even if he were telling the truth, that he was only going to increase taxes on them, it would kill us. Also, while it would take me several years to make $250,000, people at that level are not super rich. I'm not saying that they are in dire straights, but they are not super rich.

The truth on taxes is that Obama has proposed nearly a trillion dollars in new domestic spending, plus nearly a trillion dollars in increased spending on existing programs, and nearly another trillion on his "Global Poverty Act" which is a plan to throw money at world poverty, which is a tried and true, proven way to make the global poverty worse. But either way, all of these things need to be paid for, and there isn't enough money in the coffers of corporations or the super rich, so it is impossible to give tax cuts to those of us who make less than that, and I get pretty ticked off when people, like Barack Obama, think that I'm too stupid to understand that.

Another thing that Obama likes to talk about are the great surpluses that we had when President Clinton left office, but that's a lie too. We were still running up debt, and you can't base a surplus on debt. That would be like me getting a loan for $40,000 and then claiming that I had a surplus in my budget of $40,000, when the truth is that I would then have $40,000 in debt. Then he says that under President Bush we have lost those surpluses and have started running deficits. Unfortunately, he seems to forget that we had this little thing happen on September 11th, 2001, that has caused some major changes in our world. Maybe he was distracted by his buddy William Ayers saying that he wished he had done more to damage the USA, and didn't notice what the rest of us were going through on that day.

Now, take his health care plan. It must be a lie because he's said so many contradictory things over the course of this campaign that it can't possibly be the truth. The fact is that what he wants to come up with is Government run health care, based on the models that have failed so miserably in the UK and Canada, just to name two. I have talked about this before, it doesn't work, it never has worked, and it never will work.

And did you notice at the debate how arrogant Obama was? He was very belligerent with both McCain and with Tom Brokaw, and refused to follow the agreed upon rules. McCain did run over his time several times, but not deliberately, and even told Tom at one point that if he was going too long, just to wave at him and he would finish up quickly. Obama actually argued with Brokaw whenever he wanted to say something more, and the debate needed to move along. Clearly, from his behavior at these debates, and at other campaign events, Obama is not ready to be President, in fact, he hasn't even proven himself able to handle the office that he now holds in the US Senate.

For clear thinking people, the choice is clear, Obama is not even an option on election day. may God give us more clear thinking people.
