Taxes, Taxes, Lots and Lots of Taxes

It’s bad enough VP Joe Biden suffers from foot-in-mouth disease. Now it turns out he also is reading-challenged.

The clown prince of the Obama administration almost daily reminds the electorate of how much better prepared and how much more articulate Sarah Palin would have been in the vice-presidency.

Still, he’s doing his assigned job for Obama by setting the stage for what most of us who voted McCain/Palin were anticipating from the get-go, namely an enormous increase in taxes and the breaking of yet another Obama vow not to increase taxes on anyone earning less than $250,000.

This president brags about how much he has accomplished in less than half a year but says little about his broken promises to the American people in that time.

Remember no jobs for lobbyists? Promise broken. Recall no earmarks? Promise broken. How about giving the citizenry a week to read legislation? Promise broken.

And BIG Money, taxpayer money, is what this administration is all about. To get the vote of the downtrodden and the stupid, Obama vowed to soak the rich and let the poor skate. Well, the poor will continue to skate; most of them don’t pay taxes anyway and the recently-finagled Cap and Trade farce will distribute more of America’s wealth to them.

The trouble is, one trouble, anyway, is that there aren’t 100 million “rich” to soak. ...
