Top WH Advisor: Obama Won’t Rule Out Middle Class Tax Hike

"The president had said in the past that he doesn't believe taxing health care benefits at any level is necessarily the best way to go here. He still believes that. But there are a number of formulations and we'll wait and see. The important thing at this point is to keep the process moving, to keep people at the table, to the keep the discussions going. We've gotten a long way down the road and we want to finish that journey."

Actually, he has already increased taxes on the middle class, Huge tax increase on tobacco and the just passed Energy bill will significantly increase taxes….the lifestyle of the American people is under assault,that is the price you pay to live under socialism.

This man ran his presidential campaign on the premise he would not raise taxes on the “middle class…those making less than $250 thousand a year.” Now he won’t rule out a middle class tax hike. Once again, thanks Obama voters! The next time you vote for anyone in government please do your homework and listen to Fox news. They reported over and over Mr. Obama’s socialist beliefs. But 53% just had to vote him in office. Now our country is going down the tubes!

Wonder if all of those who voted for him are now banging their heads against that brickwall….oh, there will be a tax on that, too. He and Congress need to go!!!!!!

Obama speaks with forked tongue. He says what he thinks people want to hear at the moment when he already knows it will be different. If anyone believes his health care plan is going to benefit our country , they ought to take a look at the number of jobs created by the stimulus bailout and how that money is being spent– that will just be a fraction of what is to come with this Mother of all Socialist legislation. How this guy with a teleprompter fooled and continues to fool people is a mystery! But I think his past two weeks of poll numbers indicate that some of the populace is starting to associate Obama with his policies that most Americans do not like. This is not a popularity contest people– stand up and fight for your rights. go to http://www.freeyourhealthcare,com and sign the petition. Call your Congressmen in Washington or email them.And while you are at it– make sure your Senators , including Ms. Barbara Boxer( Ma’am) know your views and how you want them to vote on the Cap & Trade bill ( Waxman-Markey) I think Obama is going to have a fight on his hands and he & the leftist media want you to believe it’s a done deal. Celebrate the 4th of July knowing you have stopped this Marxist regimes biggest pieces of legislation. I hope we all make it to 2010! Leaders who can save our country–step up to the plate , please!

Term limit opportunities occur every 2 years in November elections. It is time to start limiting some terms.

Of course everyone thinks their own senator or rep is a saint and the problem is “those other guys”. That is why we have this scum in congress robbing the people at every opportunity now with their gov’t paid pension and health care while everyone else suffers.

Replace them all – the new bunch can’t do any worse than the career criminals we have in office now – both Repub and Dem. The thing they fear the most is living in the real world they have created for us.

Dave, Tn   June 28th, 2009 - 3:09 pm

Yeah good luck getting the corrupt people in the north east and left coast to change their reps.

Eddie   June 28th, 2009 - 3:40 pm

People, write or call your Senators today. Let them know that supporting the idiotic bills coming their way from the house will mean the end of their free rides in Congress and they will not get re-elected! That’s the only thing these morons understand is that if they aren’t Washington insiders, they lose their power and prestige.

Bet there are a lot of Republicans that wish they’d kept their McCain stickers on their vehicles just to show they did NOT vote for Obama and his cronies!

Oh, this is getting better and better.

jbh50   June 28th, 2009 - 4:38 pm

Axelrod is a slime ball. Everyone knows this. He is the puppetmaster. This administration has already screwed itself for a repeat in 2012. The real question is which conservative will take office…Palin? Romney? or someone else?

mightyrighty   June 28th, 2009 - 5:20 pm

of course he wont rule it out…its his time to stick it to the people he looks down upon.

Lady liberty   June 28th, 2009 - 6:38 pm

It always amazes me that when we get theses tidbits of news which is almost daily now….that we see less & less lib posters on here…they must be hiding under a rock somewhere…that’s okay we will find you & when we do we will happily send you for reeducation…

GiveMeLiberty   June 28th, 2009 - 6:41 pm

Lie, after lie, after lie. They just keep on coming from the obamanation!!! Its only going to get worse!!!

OBAMA = MUSLIM IMPOSTER WITH AGENDA TO DESTROY AMERICA!   June 28th, 2009 - 8:00 pm

YES?

Obama’s main claim to fame will be–drum roll please–his administration took the title of worst presidency ever from Jimmy Carter. Compared to Obama, Carter will come off like an economic genius with a savant’s touch vis-a-vis the energy policy he inflicted on us. Tax increases is what downed Bush Sr., it will do no better for Obama, with or without the media cheering him on.

Our great steel industries were decimated by foreign “dumping” where foreign governments (Japan & Korea) subsidized their steel industries to be able to sell steel in America below cost setting up unfair competition.

Any government that can run up continued losses while “competing” with other companies that cannot endlessly lose money will eventually squeeze out all competition. This is dumping as well, and will have the same effect. Government will run health care the same way it has run Medicare, unfunded liabilities and massive fraud. They answer to no one and therefore do not require any degree of competency.

I will support ObamaCare when Obama tells Ted Kennedy that he can no longer fly around the country having endless MRI’s and cat scans and that he is just going to die and nothing more will be done for him. I will support ObamaCare when Pelosi and Reid force both Houses of Congress to live under the programs and laws that they enact. Until then…. make mine Freedom.

I guess it takes more than 143 days of experience to be President.

If H.R. 2454 passes in the Senate I’m moving to Honduras!

A POTENTIAL "RACIST" AND "HATE-SPEECH" COMMENT   June 29th, 2009 - 5:22 pm

OK: All you people who love to screech about so-called HATE SPEECH and RACIST REMARKS… Bring it on!

Have been holding back on this comment for a while, but here it comes:

THIS CURRENT ADMINISTRATION IS *REINFORCing* EVERY NEGATIVE STEREOTYPE & SENTIMENT EVER HEARD OR FELT ABOUT OR TOWARD “BLACK” PEOPLE. This Administration is doing more to RUIN RACE RELATIONS between Black and White folks than any heretofore and likely any hereafter.

The brainless, self-glorifying, foolish, STUPID, ARROGANT way the current Admin is conducting itself is merely SOLIDIFYING for many people a deep conviction (and accompanying resentment) that BLACK PEOPLE ARE DISHONEST, SHIFTY, LAZY, AND OUT TO TAKE “WHITEY” FOR ALL THEY CAN.

*THIS ADMINISTRATION’S* BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDES AND ACTIONS ARE WHAT IS DRIVING THESE PERCEPTIONS. IF YOU WANT SUCH ATTITUDES TO *CHANGE,* THEN *CHANGE* YOUR BEHAVIORS!

America…I know you remember when George Bush Sr said his famous phrase…”read my lips…no new taxes” and then he raised our taxes.

Remember…America how the Democratzi were all over it…and have been all over it ever since?

Well…let me tell the Democratzi right here and now…George H Bush may have lied when he said that phrase…but he didn’t continually lie to the America people…like Bilderberg Bush-Obama does.

There is video evidence after video evidence, while during his campaign to get your vote, when he repeated over and over again he was “not going to raise taxes for anyone making under $250,000″. LIAR!

Well you thought you were safe didn’t you? But this man is a habitual liar. Not only that…these are not his policies…that is why they are so conflicted in their content…they are the marching orders of the Bilderberg Society…Bilderberg Bush-Obama is just their puppet following orders…they answer to no one!

They are running our government with the help of the Federal Reserve.

America…this is the beginning of the end unless we do something!

1. The Federal Reserve has “NOTHING” to do with the government. They are not a “government” department! They are a “private” bank! Why are we going to give “more” financial power to a company not even a part of our government?

2. The Federal Reserve is the “financial arm” of the secretive Bilderberg Society which is made up with world leaders, world financiers and heads of states around the world!

3. Volckner and Paulson were the ones who declared on that day in November that our financial system was about to collapse and we needed a $750 billion dollar bailout to save it or the “sky would fall”! Both these men are Bilderberg members!

4. In addition to Volckner and Paulson other members include Bernanke, Geithner, George H & W Bush, Bill & Hillary Clinton, etc. If you want more information on this secretive organization that is attempting to usher in and rule “The New World Order” put Bilderberg Society in your search engine!

Also, put Obama Deception into your search engine and see how Bilderberg Bush-Obama was handpicked to be the President to usher in the New World Order!

Most Recent (May 09) on the Bilderbergs:

Read the recent article posted on the website Politico about the secretive meeting held in Greece just last month.
Read, America, how our Secretary of the Treasury Geithner, Larry Summers and others in the Obama White House went before this “secretive” group to report to them and get their marching orders!

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22957.html

Rep. Ron Paul is introducing HR 1207 authorizing an audit of the Federal Reserve — an attempt to curtail the independent body’s increasing power.

It now has the support of more than half the House of Representatives!

Ron Paul stated…“The tremendous grass-roots and bipartisan support in Congress for HR 1207 is an indicator of how mainstream America is fed up with Fed secrecy,” “I look forward to this issue receiving greater public exposure.”

House hearings on Federal Reserve transparency are expected within the next month. Rep Dennis Kucinich’s subcommittee forced the Fed to cough up internal documents earlier this week as part of its probe of the forced B of A-Merrill Lynch merger.

This America, on the heels of the Bank CEO that stated in hearings in Washington that he was strong armed to go along with this merger with Merrill-Lynch.

====================
America…we need to dissolve the financial arm of the Bilderberg and their stranglehold on our financial system and our government.

Call/email your reps in the House and tell them you want them to support Ron Paul’s bill HR 1207!

Watch the hearings and continue to tell your neighbors, your family, your friends.

Continue to email/call your reps and keep on their case until it is done…do it as if your lives, the lives of your children and grandchildren depend on it…because they do!
=======================
As note, I received this email from Congressman Harry Mitchell of Arizona…expressing why he is supporting Ron Paul’s bill.
=======================

Last week, I cosponsored H.R. 1207, The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009, which Congressman Paul introduced to shed some much-needed light on the often secret policymaking process at the Federal Reserve.

The Fed acts as the nation’s central bank – they’re in charge of formulating monetary policy, supervising and regulating banks, and providing services to financial institutions and the federal government. All of these critical functions are conducted behind closed doors. This is troubling.

While the nation recovers from economic downturn and Americans work to rebuild our economy, they deserve an honest assessment of what role the Fed plays in the financial system. This bill is an important step in being able to make that assessment.
========================

GOD BLESS AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…MAY OUR ‘CHRISTIAN’ GOD IN OUR ‘CHRISTIAN’ NATION COME AND HEAL OUR LAND AND OUR PEOPLE AS WE GO TO PRAYER AND ASK HIS FORGIVENESS FOR THROWING HIM OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, OUR HOMES AND OUR LIVES!

America…a naive, inexperienced “community organizer” has been foisted upon this great nation by lies and illegalities!

He is seeking to destroy our country from within and he is going to get it done by the end of this year at the rate he and his congressional henchmen at pushing through this damming legislation!

America…you start calling this week your Senators and tell them how you feel about this cap & trade and the healthcare overhaul we don’t need! You tell them that we are sick and tired of their destroying our country…this is not the “change” American needed!

Here is how to get your Senators numbers to their “offices”…not the general switchboard!

1. usa.gov
2. on left ‘fed gov’
3. in center ‘legislative branch’
4. senators on the web

Do it today and everyday until the final Senate vote is taken sometime in the next week or so.

DO NOT LET UP…THIS IS THERE LAST CHANCE TO MAKE IT RIGHT…BEFORE THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS REVOLT IN FULL FORCE TO WHAT THEY ARE DOING!

========================

GOD BLESS AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…MAY OUR ‘CHRISTIAN’ GOD IN OUR ‘CHRISTIAN’ NATION AS WE GO TO HIM IN PRAYER AND ASK HIS FORGIVENESS FOR THROWING HIM OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS, OUR HOMES AND OUR LIVES!
