    I can't afford more taxes under Obama. When he lets the Bush Taxcuts expire in 2010, then all of our taxes will go up not just the people making over $250,000. Our Federal Income taxes will double then. I can't afford it. Can you?

    Everyone is forgetting about Clinton. He also promised a middle class tax cut but guess what he realized the country couldn't afford it and raised everyones taxes. Obama will be no different.

    What people do not understand is that even if they do not get a tax increase, they will still be paying more taxes.

    If Coca Cola gets a tax hike, then they will pass along the extra expense to either the customers or they will cut payroll. Either way, it is the little guy paying in the long run.

    Its pretty funny how Obama has already changed his tune on taxation, stating that due to the economy the "tax break" may be taken off the table....

    But at least 45% of Americans knew he was a lying scumbag

    Enjoy your taxes, unemployment and misery (Caternomics)

    Grow up and take responsibility. All we have gotten the last eight years is deficit spending at record levels. Because people like you would not vote out of office a man that was spending at record levels and not paying for any of it.

    I can in fact afford more taxes and you should too. Pay for what you spend freeloader. Quite being so selfish and cheap. You're actually wanting government to pay for benefits when you pay NOTHING. You're like a child. You make sick.

    Not really. However, the Republicans who are whining about Obama's tax hike are forgetting something.

    They spent 8 years supporting the GOP and Bush while they ran up $5 trillion in debt and a trillion dollar deficit.

    Just what the F**K did they think was going to happen? You do that and sooner or later you will have to start paying for it. If they didn't want higher taxes, they shouldn't have run up all that debt.

    I'm like the US Government, I operate with a running deficit.

    I can't afford more taxes any more then the US can afford universal healthcare, or a new war.

    ok first of all he is gonna raise taxes for people who make over 250k. not the middle class, or the poorer. Bush has been making more tax breaks for the rich, not the middle class , and poorer!

    The Clinton approach will not work as well this time around. Everything is too far gone.
