Gee, another Obama surprise. His aunt is an illegal alien!!! I’m sure that the “Chosen One” will protest his ignorance in short order, and try to blame this on the Republicans as well!
Wake up America! If Obama wins this election, and starts raising taxes on businesses, what do you think is going to happen to your retirement income? Higher taxes means smaller dividend checks in the mailbox, and less money to live on. As far as “spreading the wealth” is concerned, if you hold down a job, more likely than not, you’ll see nothing extra in YOUR bank account. If you make less than 250K a year (or is it 150K, Mr. Biden?), and don’t think you’ll be affected, then think again. Higher taxes means less spending and higher unemployment. What’s a small business owner going to do? Hire more people, or save the money for himself and his family? People who “have money” are also going to cut back. They’ll shop less frequently at your store, and dine less often at your restaurant. If you work in a service industry, expect to lose customers. To pay higher taxes, your suppliers will have no choice but to raise prices. In the current economy, do you really think that you can pass these costs along without losing more business? Instead of calling a plumber, people will attempt to make repairs themselves. On the surface, Obama’s proposals seem appealing. Dig deeper and you’ll quickly realize that all of us will be losers. In this country, you have to have money to be a politician. After leaving office, Obama will write another book and go off on the lecture circuit, making tens of millions of dollars, and leaving us with the mess he created. The country would have been a lot better off if Hilary Clinton were the Democratic nominee. Bill and Hilary understand the needs of working families, and would have found a way to strike a balance. Isn’t it funny that President Clinton has nothing bad to say about John McCain?
