The Rich Will Avoid Taxes
Nov 5, 2008 Political
It has already started. People know that taxes will go up under Obama and those who are very wealthy will figure out how to avoid them. Agents for sports figures are already working on a way to avoid the increase on upper wage earners by trying to get their clients’ bonuses before the end of the year.
The mega rich will always figure out how to avoid taxes. They are wealthy enough to do that. People who are well off but not wealthy will get screwed as will ALL taxpayers when Dear Leader allows the Bush tax cuts to expire. When they do, the people in the middle class are going to find out very quickly that the idea that Bush cut taxes for the rich is a LIE that Democrats, along with “we had a balanced budget and a surplus”, keep telling in order to appear blameless for the problems facing this country.
We will see how Obama and his Congress handles things but I have already decided how I will deal with some of them. I will no longer help those who need it. No contributions, no donations, no nothing. Let Obama help them. I have no empathy for anyone who gets screwed under an Obama administration. I don’t care if they become homeless, lose their jobs or pensions or can’t afford their bills. The only donations I plan on are the ones from my ads on this page. They go to the military and that will continue.
Speaking of the military, I predict that many people will now decide not to join the service and many more will leave it. Obama will not have the size military he needs to protect this country because most members of the military are conservative and they know he will not support them. I wonder how many of the liberals with their hands out will join the service to help out Barry O?
It will be a long 4 years for people not wealthy enough to figure out how to avoid taxes. I kind of hope that Obama and his Congress close the loopholes the rich use so that ALL the libs in Hollywood who supported him will pay much more in taxes. These sports players, many of whom are black and openly supported Obama, should have to pony up a lot of their income in the Obama tax plan.
As for me, I will continue to work because not everyone can be on welfare and guns and ammo are not cheap.
Obama and Insults to Muslim Americans
Jul 16, 2008 Political
Barack Obama has stated that the cover of the New Yorker in which he is shown in Muslim garb, is insulting to American Muslims. Apparently, the scorn he took for crying about the cover has caused him to acknowledge the First Amendment and to indicate that he has seen worse. Now I guess his position is that the entire incident was insulting to Muslims:
These fallacious e-mails and The New Yorker cartoon are “actually an insult against Muslim Americans,” he said. There are “wonderful Muslim Americans” across the country, Obama said, and “for this to be used as sort of an insult, or to raise suspicions about me, I think is unfortunate.”
“It’s not what America’s all about,” he said. NY Daily News
Why would it raise suspicions if the Muslims are wonderful? I am sure there are many wonderful Muslim Americans. I have met many who are good people but I can’t figure out how being compared to a Muslim raises a suspicion (as if it is a bad thing) when they are good.
The real insult to the Muslim community is from Obama himself. Barack Obama has held 13 events in the state of Michigan and has never visited a Mosque or met with Muslims leaders, according to a piece at Bloomberg.com. Couple this with the recent incident where his staff made several Muslim women (dressed in traditional Muslim garb) move out of a photo with him and it appears as if Obama is avoiding the Muslim community.
I am sure he is doing this in order to keep further rumors from flying but avoiding difficult situations or ones that are politically dangerous is not very presidential. The idea is that the Muslim community is going to support him anyway so why pander to them and take the chance of fanning the flames in the rumor mill.
Obama claims to be a new kind of politician and he says he wants to bring us all together but his treatment of the Muslim community shows him to be a typical calculating politician who avoids controversy in the name of political expedience. His avoidance of a potentially difficult scenario reminds me of his “present” votes.
Obama might want us to believe he is taking the moral high round but his treatment of the Muslim community is the real insult in all of this.
