When do you think Obama will raise income taxes...?

on the middle class? How many of you knew he would eventually have to raise taxes on the middle class? Do you think he will only raise them to pay for his healthcare reform?

    Yes, "Obama will raise income taxes...[] on the middle class."

    Taxes and other costs will go up (directly or indirectly) for everyone thanks to Obama's other policies as well.

    Obama won't raise taxes for the simple reason that he CAN'T. If taxes are raised, it will be by the Congress. Every congressional weenie on Capitol Hill has to answer to his particular constituency of voters, who may not like their taxes raised. Since getting re-elected is absolutely the MOST important (if not the ONLY) priority to Senators and Congressmen, raising taxes will not be an easy task, especially given the current state of the economy.

    I have a wait and see attitude on this one. I figure if the Congress raises my taxes enough, I'll just lay off all my employees, close my company and live on my savings (that I've already paid taxes on).

    Why pay attention just to income taxes? Why not other taxes, like Cap and Tax? Where the little people get to pay so Al Bore can mint money selling something as ridiculous as "carbon offset credits".

    HERE IS OBAMA'S CERTIFIED BIRTH CERTIFICATE

    Coast Province Hospital Birth Certificate...

    The document posted is a 1964 copy of a 1961 original. There are three names which can be verified on this copy:

    the registrar (E.F. Lavender); the district registrar (MR() Miller); deputy registrar (Joshua Simon Couya).

    Why 1964? Perhaps it is because Obama Sr. needed proof of his son’s birth in Kenya in order to register him for citizenship that year as Kenya gained independence.

    (It may be that the ‘Prez’ hasn’t been spreading enough wealth around in the Luo tribe.)

    He already has. He will continue to tax social security, energy, food, etc, until he is forced to almost double income tax to pay for his spending. Then we will enter a great depression, unless we can cut spending in half.

    I am a trained economist, but all you need is sixth grade math to figure this one out.

    Now let me get this straight. He gives a tax break as part of the stimulus package for the lowest 85% of the country. And then he will raise it after he gives the tax break.

    That is so logical.
