Obama lied, the Economy died...
-
Its funny isn't it. no, im sorry its not. He is "saving" the government $2 trillion, by putting the burden on us. This guys is driving me crazy!
And about the emission standard that he want to put in place, I work at American crystal sugar in moorhead. For those of you that didnt know, American crystal sugar is the largest sugar manufacturer in the United States. If this tax on coal goes through ( they are talking about taxing up to $50/ton of coal burnt), this would end sugar production in the United States. This means that all our sugar factories will shut down, eliminating thousands of Jobs. And guess where all our sugar will come from. You guessed it. other contries where they do not have such strict pollution control. So the jobs that so many people have had for so many years will be now given to foreigners! If this doesnt piss you off, there is something wrong.
and just so everyone knows, a $25-30/ ton tax would put us out of business. and he is talking about $50/ton.

I don't believe that is the proper use of the word hired.

obama sucks becuase your dad got layed off? how is that obamas fault?
and why arent all the obama haters running for president?
-
Its not Obama's fault for the shitty economy; however, all this spending that he is doing is going to hurt us more. I bet the dow drops to 4000 before it rebounds.
I am not going to run for president because I am not going to sell out like every other poitician has. the point is he Fcking lied his way into office, he manipulated every single person who voted for him and the liberal media ate that sht like candy.

"The other difference is that George W. Bush didn't lie about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. He was merely mistaken."
besides obama gets to make a big mistake too. right?

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for the people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — <u>That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.</u> -
and that my friends ^^^ is why the second amendment exists.

Obama sucks hands down. step dad just got **layed **off as well. They said that they could aford to keep him with the taxs being highered.That is a BS excuse....and horrible abuse of the English language...but back to the BS excuse.
Individual income taxes for those with >$250,000 TAXABLE income is going to go up (I'm not in favor of raising this tax btw), IIRC taxes on businesses is remaining the same (except for the elimination of tax breaks for corporations that move jobs overseas to take advantage of the tax programs that currently encourage such action...for the most part, there is more to it, I know)...and even those taxes don't go into affect until 2011. So it was a BS excuse. I'm sorry your dad was lied to.

The economy was on the skids before Obama was elected. Don't try pushing off failed policies (from BOTH political parties) on 2 months in office.

What this country needs right now is what the republicans blasted Obama for during the campaign....the perception of hope. Obama seems to have abandoned this, but I feel that if he were to start pointing out what is working, which companies are thriving, and offer some inspiration for Americans, I think that would go a long way. He seems to have forgotten about this message....that upsets me. Instead we hear "Crisis, Crisis, Crisis"...it was almost as bad as the right saying "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" and then 3 days later saying "we are heading towards a recession".
-
Like him or not, he was elected to do a job. He is (for the most part) following through on what he campaigned that he would do all along: Stimulus Package; lower taxes for those under $250,000; Raise taxes on those above $250,000; make government spending more transparent. I mean seriously, the war in Iraq wasn't included in the budget in the past??? That is fiscal responsibility? Seriously?
-
I think that the majority of American's are conservative. I think the majority of Republicans in the House/Senate are only conservative when they are not in power...when they have power they are as liberal as the rest of them.
-
When Bush was in power I heard "He won the election, he gets to choose his agenda/cabinet/policies/etc..." from the right. Now that the roles have reversed they all turned into hypocrites.
-
Refusing to work together is a horrible way to run a country. There are 100 Senators...split 60/40 D/R. IMHO any bill that gets voted on should first have to go through a group of 6 dems and 4 repubs to hammer out a good deal. There should be a fairly representative idea of what the country wants when something like this happens.
-
Line item veto. It needs to happen. It would go a long ways towards eliminating Pork as the "blood" would be on the hands of the President if he didn't cut it out when it crossed his desk.
-
Term limits on Senate/House members. 'Nuff said.

Chuck just as an example for you on how bad these taxes are going to hurt.
A good freind of mine has owned a decent sized business (around 1.5 mil a year in revenue) since 1988. It has been expanded over the years to its current size, and has always turned a good profit, with him making around 125-150k a year.
In Jan, he sold a portion (about 1/2) of the business to somebody for a decent amount, lets just say it was 650k, since i dont know the exact amount but that seems right. Yesterday he was in with his accountant, and he was told that in order to pay the new, higher capital gains tax, and his income tax on the sale he was going to be taxed about 41%. He was pissed and basically told me he would have made more money by letting it go under and selling off the parts.
Dont know how anyone wants to take that, but its just a story about how raising capital gains and taxes on the rich hurt everybody. He had been planning on expanding the other side of the business and hiring another 3-4 people, but now he said he would have to take out a loan to do so and its no longer going to happen
