| TheRealMafoo said: Politicians lie.... all of them. That's a fact, and one we need to live with. So, being we can not trust what they say, based on ideology, and voting history, what do you think will happen? Here is the setup: When you look at Obama's plan for change (http://www.barackobama.com/issues/), it's obvious we will not have enough money to pay for these things. Click through each on of those categories, and see what he is proposing. Every one I have read will cost more then it costs today. So, like every other politician, he is promising more then he can deliver. The question is, where will he fold on his promises? Will he offer less services, or take more money from the middle class? It is my opinion, that if push comes to shove, Obama would rather raise taxes and provide more of his services, then keep the promise of tax relief for the middle class. I think he will raise taxes. Your thoughts? |
"...obvious we winn not have enough money to pay for these thigns." <---Total bullshit.
Ahh I see! Since you say he can't afford the things hes promising, your opinion is better than economist and others who have actually looked into the issue and balanced the books right?
Your opinion is based on speculation and not facts. Will he raise taxes? He might. But the same could be said about McCain. Do we have any evidence he will raise taxes? No. So why speculate on something (and only do it against Obama).
And if push comes to shove and we need to raise taxes, wouldn't you want him to make the best decision? Taxes aren't the biggest issue. Taxes are your way of investing in America, and in times of crisis, we need to bunker down.
And also, the reason we DON'T need to raise taxes for middle class is because 65% of the nations wealth already resides in the upper 10% of our wealth brackets. This is just the classic conservative bullshit. "Could Obama raise taxes?" "Could Obama be a terrorist?" "Could Obama make the wrong decisions when it comes to foreign policy?" Any candidate "could" do these things, but there are not signs that he will.
