Wrong again there Kenneth... Obama suggests value-added tax may be an option news.yahoo.com President Barack Obama suggested Wednesday that a new value-added tax on Americans is still on the table, seeming to show more openness to the idea than his aides have expressed in recent days. When asked if he could see a potential VAT in this nation, the president said: "I know that there's been a lot of talk around town lately about the value-added tax. That is something that has worked for some countries. It's something that would be novel for the United States."

We all know what that means. Obama lies all the time and cannot be trusted. Since you like him, neither can you.

Barack idiotObama is crisscrossing the country shaking down his fat-cat pals for campaign cash: Boston, April 1: $2.5 million. Miami, April 15: $2.5 million. Los Angeles, April 19: $3.5 million. These are the latest stops on his whirlwind fundraising tour. Today, idiotObama was in New York City "scolding" Wall Street for its excesses -- but what you won't hear from the left-leaning mainstream media is that he will be back before the same crowd in mid-May with his hand out expecting their big donations. Since being sworn into office, the Fundraiser-in-Chief has hosted 42 fundraisers nationwide tapping the same left-wing ATM that once started his presidential campaign to now help keep Democrats in control of Congress. idiotObama and the Democrats like to claim they are for the little guy in public speeches -- they then turn around and host private, closed-door receptions where they rake in millions of dollars from liberal, elitist donors. alex, the Republican National Committee relies on small donations from grassroots leaders like you to support our Party and help elect GOP candidates at all levels. In fact, the average contribution to the RNC is just $39. It's time to set the record straight on which party represents the common man and which one caters to big government and big donors -- and I need your help to do it. Please make a secure online gift of $39 or more to the RNC today to help us fight back against the idiotObama/liberal special interest money machine. Our goal is to raise at least $8,831 in your area to help counter the $3.5 million Obama just raised in L.A. And please be sure to check out our interactive map to chart the progress we've made in your state. Your contribution supports the RNC's efforts to provide Republican candidates up and down the ticket with the vital campaign services and direct financial assistance they need to win. Please give as generously as you can to help our Party counter idiotObama's Big Money Machine and win sweeping victories this November. Sincerely, Michael Steele Chairman, Republican National Committee

The $3,700 Dime Posted 07:01 PM ET Taxes: Candidate Obama repeatedly vowed that those earning under $250,000 "will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime." Will he veto the $3,700 tax hike Congress is considering for 30 million Americans? 'I can make a firm pledge," candidate Barack Obama told a New Hampshire audience about a year and a half ago. "Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes." It was devastating for President George H.W. Bush when he broke his 1988 "Read My Lips" tax pledge, and fully exploited by his 1992 opponent Bill Clinton. But the former vice president to Ronald Reagan at least had an excuse: He was being bullied by a Congress controlled by the opposition party, with which he unwisely agreed to take part in a budget summit within the cloistered locale of Andrews Air Force Base. And the Gramm-Rudman sequester axe of indiscriminate spending cuts was hanging over the federal government's head. The budget unveiled by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., has been found by the Brookings Institution and Urban Institute to extend the Alternative Minimum Tax to a total of 33 million people, raising their taxes by an average of $3,700 beginning in 2012. That's some dime. Remember the AMT? That's the too-complicated-to-understand tax enacted over 40 years ago. No one had to worry about it, we were told, because it only affected a tiny handful of millionaires. But pouncing on a couple dozen tycoons whose lawyers found loopholes giving them a zero income tax bill ended up picking the pockets of tens of millions of Joe and Josephine Sixpacks. Thanks to no indexing for inflation, politicians have found the AMT to be a conveniently hidden way to raise taxes on the middle class; they never bothered scrapping it as it turned into a monster. Now Conrad is actually bulking up the beast with steroids by refusing what has become the nearly annual AMT "patch" giving hundreds of millions of dollars in middle-class tax relief. Conrad's plan also includes increased estate taxes — a double-whammy. The budget chairman says the Democrats' proposal will exert pressure for major tax reform, but with this crowd in charge of Washington that's the last thing we need. When it comes to a tax revamp, the president is now hinting that "change we can believe in" means a value-added tax — a hidden money machine that would seal the deal in Europeanizing the beleaguered U.S. economy. Who would ever think that not "one single dime" in tax increases really meant "Brother, can you spare $3,700?"
