With all this talk of spend, spend, spend and borrow, borrow, borrow the assurances by Obama and his Democrats that they’ll only tax “the rich” are starting to fall a bit flat:
While the economy remains the top issue nationwide, taxes are moving up on the priority list. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 64% of voters see taxation as very important; it’s highest level in nearly two years.
Last month, 61% said taxes were very important to them. Prior to that survey, that number never rose above 60%.
Obama ran as a tax-cutting deficit hawk – I know, you have to think back a bit. Our liberals won’t be able to manage this trick as their minds are entirely controlled by the DNC – but those who aren’t liberals can, if they wish, stretch their mind back to last September and realize that one of Obama’s most effective ads against McCain was his assertion that McCain wanted to tax health care benefits. Obama, naturally, was being mendacious in his attempts to portray himself as something other than a tax and spend liberal – and now that he’s in office and need not face the voters until 2012, he’s all set to tax and spend us into oblivion…and thus the issue of taxation rises in national consciousness.
At the end of the day, Obama and his Democrats are handing issue after issue which if we can’t win on, then we have no business being in politics at all.
