Obama Lays-Out $1.5T in New Taxes

[Mr. dB]

If only we could drag those people out into the streets and shoot them. I bet that would get capital flowing back into the US in no time!

So what we should do instead is to kowtow to their every whim?

Right out of the gate, I'd start by not vilifying them with class warfare rhetoric. Even if I were going to screw-over the so-called "rich", the last thing I'd do is what that idiot Obama does and telegraph my punch simply to appease my base. Even GW Bush was smarter than that.

I guess that makes me a marketing genius.

Second, let's have an epiphany: There are plenty of markets outside the US that have less regulation AND lower tax rates. So if you are going to pass hundreds of billions in more regulation (i.e. ObamaCare), then you'll have to give it back on the tax side. Similarly, if you are going to preach over raising taxes, you better be ready to massively deregulate.

This really isn't that hard to figure out. If we want people making big bets on the US, the US needs to be more attractive. It's unbelievably cynical to me to watch Obama destroy millions of jobs, then reach out to the people he's ruined (the middle and lower class) as their savior. That's as screwed-up as a doctor offering a patient a vial of poison as a cure.

Obama is a student of Sal Alinsky. Alinsky wrote numerous books on class warfare and socialism. Alinsky was a community organizer, does that sound familar? In his one book he goes into detail about focusing on the middle class because they are the "silent majority." If you can win the middle class, you win America over to socialism.

This is a communist conspiracy...

Every dollar of government spending must be raised through a dollar of taxation.

The "soak the rich" tactics did not work in the 1930's.

The only thing that works to stimulate the economy is "supply-side economics," the idea of cutting taxes to stimulate investment. Also, lift regulations, repeal the Sarbanes-Oxley law, and end speculation. Taxes might be low right now, but that does not mean a thing with heavy regulation and speculating, and outrageous gov. spending. Nobody is going to invest and take risks with this guy in office becaue he is unpredictable.. Obama is too erratic with his policies, and he vacillates a lot. Therefore, that spooks the hell out of big businesses and the private sector, so they hoard their money.

The poor get entitlements, the rich hoard their money and the middle class get fucked...

A good study on how to stimulate the economy: Calvin Coolidge and Ronald Reagan economic policies, their records speak for themselves..

Why? Is Santa Claus gonna put my name on the wrong list if I say the wrong thing?

LOL @ the lie of "class warfare".

How many of them are outside the Pacific Rim? Not developing nations or city-states?

You wouldn't know a socialist or a communist if it bit you on the ass. If you think Alinsky was a socialist, for example, you've been getting your information from some weird sources.

Supply-side economics is a scam.

Would you be happy to return tax rates to what they were during the Reagan Presidency?
