The
delusional reality that President Obama lives in is one of the most perplexing
situations. He thinks you can simply tax the rich and it will not affect the
middle class. What he seems to forget is that "the rich" are the job
creators and small business owners. When these business owners have less money
in their companies, they create fewer jobs.
Now,
it's pretty common knowledge that President Obama is only good at campaigning. Even
today, he was campaigning to sell his tax hikes. His public pitch,
from the White House, was made with "a backdrop of hand-picked,
middle-class voters".
Meanwhile,
Republican leaders have tried in negotiations to solve the looming fiscal
crisis. Texas Senator John Cornyn and other Republican leaders are appealing to
the President to become more engaged in the negotiations. President Obama has
no public plan to reduce spending.
“All that Republicans are asking is to maintain
the current rates until we adopt real bipartisan tax reform,” Cornyn said in an
editorial Wednesday in the Dallas Morning News.
The tax reform needs to include cuts to
entitlement spending. A good friend of mine said it best. "We are like a
guy with 26 maxed out credit cards, in default, squabbling with his wife over
which card we want to put the new car on."
The equation is simple, Mr. President. If more people are employed, they pay taxes. And, they have more disposable income to purchase items and services, which also creates more jobs. Bottom line: More people need jobs. That is what the President should be concentrating on.
In Ohio, Governor Kasich and the Republican
legislature reduced spending without raising taxes. They have increased jobs
and pulled Ohio out of the ditch. If President Obama truly cared about the
middle class, he would be asking for a meeting with John Kasich on how to get
the country running again.

Dear Jenny,
ReplyDeleteFox News called. They want their talking points back.

ReplyDeleteSave your breath for cooling soup, Senator Cornyn. Barack Obama does not have sufficient grey matter between his ears to understand that simple point.
