How can you believe him when he says he is going to cut taxes ?

Question

for the last several years Obama, Pelosi, Biden, Clinton, Howard Dean, and numerous others have been screaming that the US is broke and that we have to "repeal" the Bush tax cuts. And, that the country must have the revenue.

Additionally, there is over 54 Trillion dollars of UN-FUNDED Budget deficit (9 Trillion dollars of National debt included with 34 Trillion of un funded welfare commitments, and then there is social security, etc.).

Taxes will rise or the country will be bankrupt. So then how can anyone who isn't lying say they are going to lower taxes for anyone?

Answer 1

The only reason democrats will have to raise taxes is to try and start paying the deficit caused from the war started by..??????

Answer 2

Well...uh.....cos he said so?

Answer 3

They do it very carefully...  Obama says he will lower taxes for certain groups.  The part he leaves out is that he wants taxes raised on businesses (which will drive even more corps. out of the U.S.).  Its how they all do it, when they say they will lower taxes, it is always defined by a specific group - middle class, working class, small businesses, etc.  They NEVER say "across the board".  They all play the "shift the taxes" game.  Sure, all will sponsor something that lowers taxes for one group, but you better believe another group will get hit with higher ones.  Its the Congress who passes those bills, anyhow.  They're the ones who you really have to watch out for when casting your votes.

Answer 4

I think that is what he plan/wants to do.  Not sure it will happen.  Remember, "read my lips, no new taxes."  I voted for Daddy Bush, but not because he said no more taxes.

Answer 5

Democrats always raise taxes!!!!!

Answer 6

Of course O'Bama is lying.  He's a politician isn't he?  Everyone who's looking for a job lies during their interview.  I know every time I push the ballot button that the people I vote for are going to let me down for one reason or another.  What scares me most about O'Bama isn't the fact that he's a liar.  What scares me the most is the fact that he might be telling the truth.  He might actually leave Iraq defenseless and the middle east in total chaos.  He might actually give up the fight to hunt down Bin Laden. He might actually destroy the health care system by socializing it.

Answer 7

Show me a Democrat who will cut your taxes and I'll show you a Republican!

Obama's assertion that taxes will be cut for 95% of Americans is false.  Check out his plans for income tax repeals, raising the capital gains taxes, raising the cap on payroll taxes and social security taxes - not to mention his ambitious left-wing liberal agenda of cradle to grave social welfare nanny state - including free health care, free college education, $150 billion energy bill, etc.

And he thinks he can pay for all this by ending the war and closing corporate tax loopholes?!?  Even if he could - what do you think the American corporations are going to do when their own tax bills go up that much?!?  Of course, it will ultimately get passed back down to the consumer, it always does.  OK OK, so it is not technically a tax increase.  Only a price increase.

Obama's tired old liberal style politics were discredited back in the 1970's.  But since most of his supporters weren't even born then, I suppose we are about due for another generational reminder of just how bad our country can get with a radical left wing liberal in the White House.  I might vote for him just for the benefit of the history lesson itself.

If McCain is Bush's third term, then Obama is Carter's second.

Answer 8

Simple, they will lower one tax and raise (or create) 4 or 5 others in its place.  

Answer 9

Agree with Susi.No doubt!

McCain/Palin 08!

NOBama 08!

Answer 10

obama will never cut the tax down even if he says so

Answer 11

Obama has no intention of cutting taxes. Like a true democrat, he intends to raise taxes and has said so numerous times. In 2005, he voted to CUT taxes for oil conglomerates.  This guy is a big, fat, furry liar.
