Obama Breaks Promises: MIddle Class Taxes Rising as well as Signing Statement Usage
Inflation tax aside, Obama has already raised taxes on the middle class through Tobacco and is now considering taxing employer-provided health insurance to finance his socialized health care fiasco. Here's the article referenced in the video: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31595921/ns/politics-white_house/

I am clearly middle class and my taxes have not gone up,..except for state local taxes(crappy California).
My biggest increase in taxes will come when the government gets serious about all the borrowing and spending over the past 8 years. As Milton Friedman(conservative columnist) writes, any borrowing today is a tax increase for the future.
In a sense, George W Bush's borrowing will force our governments hand to increase taxes.
Obama's continuation of borrowing will also force the government to increase taxes,that is unless,..they decide to actually run the government w/ any efficiency,..but we all know that is out of the question...

Thank you BBAR!!
Finally, there is something he did, that we can clearly see. Everything else has been so veiled and cloudly just like his policies. He makes changes that are harmful to our economy and disguises them as wonderful changes.However, he can not get away with this blatant breaking of his campaign and early days of presidency, promises.
We all remember Mr. Bush's "Read my lips, no new taxes."
Now we see, "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."But, at least Mr. Bush never tried to break this country. At least Mr. Bush was proud of us.
Mr. Obama runs around the world apologizing for our past, while kissing and bowing to those who hate us.
Mr. Obama is ashamed of us.
Therefore, even though I will fight to protect my president, I am ashamed of Mr. Obama. -
You ain't seen nothing yet! Wait to it all starts falling apart in 2010!

This is not surprising that he would back track, and quite honestly, I am glad he is. This only proves to the mindless naves that voted for me, that you cannot aspire all your hopes on a human being.
-
Kylsport, you are so right. He is just a person. But he should not have lied to us.
The thing that bothers me though, is that he tricked many millions of people, not just me.
No one has sen this man's college transcripts, or birth certificate. Now the other inconsistencies have begun to unfold. -
Got ya,, remember,regardless of party affiliation
He is the New "Decider" -
sigh... there are no legal cures for stupid
-
Don't tell me anyone actually believed him.
-
There must have been enough people believing him if he won the election....

Credible source please. Alex Jones/Infowars is one of the biggest fiction news sites on the internet.
-
For those who (like me) don't know who Alex Jones is here's the wiki of him for whatever it's worth
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones_%28radio_host%29According to it the guy is to the right of Rush Limbaugh and known for his bizarre conspiracy theories.

don't really care if he goes to war with the British, he was the best option. if you believed he'd do every thing he stated, you're an idiot. no promises can be made in such an unpredictable climate. get over it. i believe he'll do the best he can to accomplish the goals he set for himself and the nation. that's why he got my vote.

Can you provide a link to a remotely credible article that Obama has used signing statements to raise taxes on the middle class?
-
They can not neocongo, I for one have an extra 25 dollars in my check every 2 weeks. I think that is a tax cut and my fiancee has stopped smoking and I have stopped chewing and that combined is a huge tax cut. But now that we have the last 8 years to reflect on like the tax cuts for the rich of 550 billion dollars that was suppose to create a million jobs at a cost of 550,000 dollars per job and the lost revenue from the rich who can afford it because the rich do not create jobs like the repugnants would like you to believe. We will be taxing you rich bastards so you better run, bring back the Ike tax plan and will se prosperity for all.

And the beat goes on. I wonder when the Obama voters will wise up and realize what they elected. A junior Senator from Illinois, an Abe Lincoln he aint. Anyone wishing Bush was back?

And putting lipstick on a pig doesn't make a difference it's still a pig. And wanting bush back is at about 20% now, pretty poor for even an ex-pres of any party.

What's funniest is that this dude is citing MSNBC! Anyhow, "White House" is a metonymy. So is "Obama." Meaning? First definition on dictionary.com:
a figure of speech that consists of the use of the name of one object or concept for that of another to which it is related, or of which it is a part, as “scepter” for “sovereignty,” or “the bottle” for “strong drink,” or “count heads (or noses)” for “count people.”
That someone, somewhere in the executive branch, suggests A or B as a possibility to be debated is by no means the same as the President's formally promoting it.
Wind back the calendar. In a formal meeting with Tony Blair (official notes taken) George Bush suggested bombing Al Jazeera's headquarters in Qatar—a U.S. ally.
Did it happen? No. Was there a remote possibility of its happening? No. Bush was restrained by more rational advisers. "Bush" didn't make that happen. The "administration" didn't make that happen. The "White House" didn't make that happen.
This guy's broadcast is manifestly ridiculous.

The title of the article is "Obama Breaks Promise Not to Raise Taxes on Middle Class" Right under the picture, under the title YOU made the comment "Infowars | Obama reveals his contempt for the American people by issuing signing statements, even though he said during the election he would not."
And you're asking me where I got the connection between signing statements, and taxes. Do you even read what you post?
-
i'm disappointed in the dishonesty in this article and the headline.
anything to get people to pay attention to you eh?
no better than ann "the whore" coulter
for the record, maybe look for the truth and not op-eds from right wing nutjobs writing from their bomb shelters. what was that sound? i think your dog just stepped on one of the land mines.
