Obama pushing extension of middle-class tax cuts
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama, eager to shift election-year attention away from the nation’s lackluster jobs market, called on Congress Monday to extend tax cuts for only low and middle income earners while allowing taxes to increase for families that make more than $250,000 a year.
“Let’s not hold the vast majority of Americans and our economy hostage while we debate the merits of another tax cut for the wealthy,” said Obama, flanked by a dozen people the White House said would benefit from the middle class-oriented tax cut extension.
Obama wants Congress to pass a one-year extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for households making less than $250,000 before they expire at the end of the year. He said the outcome of his November election contest with Republican rival Mitt Romney would then determine the fate of the tax cuts for higher income earners.
“My opponent will fight to keep them in place. I will fight to end them,” he said.

Obama pushing extension of middle-class tax cuts
Wait a minute … what the hell? Did I read that correctly? Obama wants Congress to pass a one-year extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for households making less than $250,000 before they expire at the end of the year?
How can that be?
I was under the impression that Barack Hussein Obama considered everything that was WRONG with the USA was all because of George W. Bush. I thought Obama blamed Bush for EVERYTHING? How could it possibly be good for America to extend a policy implemented by the Bush administration?
Unless … unless what many of us have known and believed about Obama is actually true.
Barack Hussein Obama and his entire regime of EVIL couldn’t come up with a budget, a tax plan or any other idea that would HELP America if they had to. The whole bunch of them are nothing less than utterly useless.
I got an email earlier today that had a new campaign slogan for the folks on the RIGHT to use against Obama and Company;
The Libbers and Dems voted you in because you’re Black.
The RIGHT is voting you OUT because you’re USELESS!
I can hear it already; “that TexasFred guy is a vile racist and he hates Obama because Obama is Black”, and you know it’s going to be said, but the ignorance of those that throw the *RACE CARD* simply because I, and many others in this nation don’t like Obama is beyond the definition of ignorance.
The people that DO like Obama aren’t too smart in MY opinion. Many Dems, what can be called *conservative Dems* maybe, have seen Obama for what he is, and Obama has lost a lot of support from the LEFT, from people of all races, colors and creeds. Those are the folks that got the *wake up* call and actually answered it!
Make NO mistake my friends, Obama has got to go, BUT, can we really expect any better from the GOP as a whole? Read this; Cracks Appear in Republican Unity on Health Law Repeal and see what you come up with.
Our GOP Senators and Congressmen tell us, in bold, loud voices, elect MORE of us, we must take back the Senate and we MUST maintain control of the Congress and we MUST elect Mitt Romney, a REAL Conservative to the White House, if you’ll do all of that, elect a Republican majority in both Houses and the White House, WE can make America great once again.
Didn’t George W. Bush have a GOP Congress and Senate when HE took office?
The utter hypocrisy of *MOST* politicians is disgusting. Just sayin’.
You know you live in a country run by idiots when you can get arrested for expired tags on your car but not for being in the country illegally.
What really needs to happen is just run off them all off. The and the senate both are SELF SERVERING SOB’S. They I look at it is they are there for a pension that is not available to all of us. The want the money, but they do not want to work for it.
Then we have the the reps who would prefer to show off the TOOL on the Internet. You tell me what they are worth. They certainly are not worth what they are paid.
The all need to go…Period!
Must do what we have to do to rid this country of Obama, then weed out the RINOS and replace with conservatives. Obama is playing his class warfare bullshit by supporting part of the Bush tax cuts. Should be all or nothing.
Anything to try to get a vote(s)…I’ll take (keep) the tax cut, but as a Seinfeld character might say…”No soup (vote) for you!!!”
As documented already, the “rich” are fleeing Maryland because of taxes.
There will ALWAYS be states that are over-taxed and states that are taxed less.
That big SUCKING SOUND is the one made by the “rich” taking their cash and moving to states taxed at lesser rates.
It’s a ploy. If things weren’t so close Obama would ALREADY have kicked the Bush “tax cuts” aside some time ago.
Remember, these are the same assholes who consider an UNraised budget from one fiscal year to another as a budget CUT. And taxes UNraised from one FY to another as a tax CUT.
Because budget cuts and tax cuts are so UNFAIR.
Leftist Dogma Math.
