But how does he conjure this miracle, especially since more than a third of all Americans pay no income taxes at all. There are several sleight of hands, but the most creative is to redefine the meaning of "tax cut."

But how does he conjure this miracle, especially since more than a third of all Americans pay no income taxes at all. There are several sleight of hands, but the most creative is to redefine the meaning of "tax cut." The problem is that people get comfortable in saying that "anyone who makes more than me should pay more taxes" because it's easy and doesn't affect them. Why on earth would you reward someone who doesn't work (and therefore doesn't pay taxes) with an incentive? Instead, encourage hard work - encourage education - encourage investment. Build the economy - don't carve it up. We are talking here about giving money to the same people that the federal government felt should get home loans even though they are not qualified - and that put us in the mess we are in now. Stop coddling those who refuse to do a hard day's work, and start rewarding those who do. That applies across all income levels. Europe is going in the toilet and Comrade Obama wants the US to become like that. No way - not by a long shot. Obama will also turn democracy and capitalism on it's head, and villainize the affluent and successful in our society, in order to rally the masses behind him. With evangelical zeal Obama will convince his followers to replace reason with hope and belief ... to blindly follow him ... never challenge him ... and embrace his words as gospel. In the real, and unforgiving world of economics however, when you immediately gratify everyone by feasting on the goose that lays the golden eggs, the economy looses it's ability to continue generating growth and wealth. Obama is promising everyone a piece of the pie, whether they helped bake it, or not ... but, only in a socialistic, or communist state do the non-contributors demand to share equally in the property that belongs to others. Immediate gratification is like a drug to the malcontents, but in the big picture, every farmer knows that you never eat your seed crop. America will turn into a third world country, with massive government welfare programs, unable to generate jobs for it's citizens, and unable to compete in the global markets. I have just recently been able to work my way into this tax bracket. I worked hard to get where I am. I dont feel my hard work should be taken away from my. Why did I work this hard to just give my money to someone who has not earned it or deserve it? What gives them the right to say "Oh good job NOW GIVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE" Let them go out and work. I came from a middle class hard working family and worked my way up from the bottom. No silver spoon in my mouth. They have no right to take what I have earned and give it to someone who has the same opportunities I do but won't take them. Let them earn their own money. “http://us-elections.suite101.com/article.cfm/obama_and_distribution_of_wealth_program” Its a clever pitch, because it lets him pose as a middle-class tax cutter while disguising that he’s also proposing one of the largest tax increases ever on the other 5%.

I am afraid, very afraid! I agree - free market is made to correct itself when they take down turns and the government should butt out and let it do its job. Limited government -- did anyone else read that somewhere? Maybe like an important document? Government spending and interference needs to be seriously curtailed. That's the only way to save the economy...
