Can we pick a number please?

Filed Under General, Race for White House 2008 on Oct 30 

Early voting has been going on for at least a week in most states, even longer in others, and Obama’s policies are still changing!  I know what you’re all thinking, the race is over.  Well, I refuse to believe that.  I can’t give up hope that the American people can see through his outright lies.  We’ll know in a few days, but until then I will remain optimistic.

As we’ve heard over and over and over again, Obama’s plan is to raise taxes on families who make $250,000 or more and he claims that 95% of Americans will receive a tax cut under his plan.  Tuesday, Biden said the threshold is $150,000, but we let that go since he’s the King of Gaffes.  On tonight’s infomercial, Obama said the threshold for families is now $200,000, but 95% of Americans will still receive a tax break.  Apparently no one in America makes between $200,000 and $250,000.

We’re less than six days away from the election and he changed the threshold?  Really?  On November 5th is he going to lower the threshold again?  If he lowers the threshold to $100,000, will 95% of Americans will get a tax break?

I’m betting that he’ll raise the taxes on everyone by the time he gives his inauguration speech.  Who wants those odds?

    Let’s face it… everyone’s taxes will be raised.

    The latest hiccup in the campaign message came Friday morning on KOA-AM, when New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson pegged the middle class as those making $120,000 and under.

    Or $60,000 per person if you use the Obama Math.

    Michael Medved pointed out an interesting fact.

    Obama says he will raise taxes on the top 5% of earners. Workers who make $153,000 are in the top 5%.

    Get ready to have your taxes raised you “racist” “rednecks”.

    Just pointing out if it is $150,000 for a family then $75,000 is the real threshold.

    No matter what the threshold is, 95% of Americans will receive tax cuts. Do you think he considers pets American? Maybe that’s how he came up with his number…

    First the Obama Camp said only those who made more then $250,000 would get taxed. Then the Obama Camp said only families that made more then $250,000 would be taxed. Finally Biden made the Freudian Slip and said it was really $150,000 per family. The closer we get to the election the closer we get to the truth.

    If Obama raises taxes on anyone that makes less than $200,000, he’ll be a one-term President. It would be the equivalent of George H.W. Bush’s “Read my lips, no new taxes”.

    I don’t think Obama is dumb enough to do that.

    I think…

      I think he is so arrogant, he thinks he can do whatever he wants.

      Didn’t Clinton raise them during the first term? And did he promise not to do so? Or am I remembering wrong?

      I think a Dem can get away with it more than a Pub. What’s astounding is when they don’t raise them at all.

    See with the Obama plans, 95% of american will make less than $100,000. So he is right.
