      What a lying cunt!
      So, no matter what, you hate Obama because he's black?

                Well, actually, yes. And the economy. And the middle class. But you left out the "AND". It's the BCE **AND** corporations. Not all corporations are BCE, though the "defense" industry, the oil companies, and the whore media might as well be. The rest of them are merely greedy bastards.

                    Why do you lie so much? Were you born to a family of liars that you won't stop fibbing? Quit "what Kennedy would do" projecting: hindsight shows he was a lousy president.. so nobody cares what you would revise Kennedy as saying or doing.

                    You're cuntpletely wrong BTW: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_cut




                    In recent decades, most "supply-siders" in the United States have been Republicans (though a significant individual tax cut was proposed by President John F. Kennedy from the Democratic Party and passed by a Democrat led congress) with the belief that cutting the tax rate would stimulate investment and spending, with overall beneficial effects (including replenishment of some lost tax revenues)


                    The Democratic majority in the U.S. House of Representatives must decide whether to write a budget extending, expiring, or repealing the Bush tax cuts. These tax cuts have provided a convenient scapegoat for the nation's budget and economic challenges. Despite a 42 percent spending increase in 2001, critics charge that the tax cuts have starved popular programs.

                      No. The real lobbyist should be the American voter. Maybe we are going back to that. People are pretty damn pissed now. Someone asked me what political party I belong to and I said the Pissed Off Party.

                        Accusing someone of lying, while quoting the "Heritage Foundation", which exists for the sole purpose of lying.

                                Yeah Obama really helped us by signing that horrid healthcare bill into law which will only make the existing problems worse. Not to mention it sets up 150 additional government agencies and empowers the IRS even more. I see it as an extension of what the Patriot Act is. More government intrusion. Now not only can you go to jail for the rest of your life without trial for being suspected as a terrorist you can go to jail for not buying inflated health insurance. Did you notice how much the premiums went up immediately after the bill went into law? Not to mention how the banks jacked rates after we bailed them out and Obama did nothing.

                                Obama is as bad as Bush, he's just going to pull some troops out right before he comes up for reelection. Plus, the guy has wasted way more money than Bush or any other president ever has. Trying to fix things. Give me a fucking break. He could start with throwing Timothy Geitner into jail for tax evasion.

                                September 22, 2010
                                Much more has been revealed about Obamacare since President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi pushed the bill on Americans six months ago. (J. Scott Applewhite/AP file)
                                Six months ago, President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rammed Obamacare down the throats of an unwilling American public. Half a year removed from the unprecedented legislative chicanery and backroom dealing that characterized the bill's passage, we know much more about the bill than we did then. A few of the revelations:

                                » Obamacare won't decrease health care costs for the government. According to Medicare's actuary, it will increase costs. The same is likely to happen for privately funded health care.

                                » As written, Obamacare covers elective abortions, contrary to Obama's promise that it wouldn't. This means that tax dollars will be used to pay for a procedure millions of Americans across the political spectrum view as immoral. Supposedly, the Department of Health and Human Services will bar abortion coverage with new regulations but these will likely be tied up for years in litigation, and in the end may not survive the court challenge.

                                » Obamacare won't allow employees or most small businesses to keep the coverage they have and like. By Obama's estimates, as many as 69 percent of employees, 80 percent of small businesses, and 64 percent of large businesses will be forced to change coverage, probably to more expensive plans.

                                » Obamacare will increase insurance premiums -- in some places, it already has. Insurers, suddenly forced to cover clients' children until age 26, have little choice but to raise premiums, and they attribute to Obamacare's mandates a 1 to 9 percent increase. Obama's only method of preventing massive rate increases so far has been to threaten insurers.

                                » Obamacare will force seasonal employers -- especially the ski and amusement park industries -- to pay huge fines, cut hours, or lay off employees.

                                » Obamacare forces states to guarantee not only payment but also treatment for indigent Medicaid patients. With many doctors now refusing to take Medicaid (because they lose money doing so), cash-strapped states could be sued and ordered to increase reimbursement rates beyond their means.

                                » Obamacare imposes a huge nonmedical tax compliance burden on small business. It will require them to mail IRS 1099 tax forms to every vendor from whom they make purchases of more than $600 in a year, with duplicate forms going to the Internal Revenue Service. Like so much else in the 2,500-page bill, our senators and representatives were apparently unaware of this when they passed the measure.

                                » Obamacare allows the IRS to confiscate part or all of your tax refund if you do not purchase a qualified insurance plan. The bill funds 16,000 new IRS agents to make sure Americans stay in line.

                                If you wonder why so many American voters are angry, and no longer give Obama the benefit of the doubt on a variety of issues, you need look no further than Obamacare, whose birthday gift to America might just be a GOP congressional majority.
