This should have not come as a surprise to anyone. Anyone who thought Obama was simply going to "roll back the Bush tax cuts" is fooling himself. Totally agree. But what is the goal? What percentage of people do they want to be "living off of" the remainder? Do they want 60% of people paying ZERO tax and the other 40% paying all the income taxes, unemployment benefits, health care, all of it? Or do they want 70/30? I mean at some point the system just breaks down. A rational person looking at the $50-60 Trillion in debt we now have and looking at the spending they're doing just cannot reconcile it. IT IS AS THOUGH OBAMA HAS SET AS A GOAL BRINGING AMERICA TO ITS KNEES ECONOMICALLY.
