Obama: Americans agree with my approach on deficit | Political Headlines | Comcast


President Barack Obama, laying down his marker for grueling "fiscal cliff" negotiations, said Friday he won't accept any approach to federal deficit reduction that doesn't ask the wealthy to pay more in taxes.
Following up, Obama's spokesman said later that the president would veto any legislation extending tax cuts for families making $250,000 or more.

failure to address the automatic tax increases and spending cuts could cripple the economy. A Congressional Budget Office report on Thursday projected that the economy would fall back into recession if there is a protracted impasse in Washington.

Another 4 years of veto's and horse shit and more doom and gloom , what a dick weed .

It's.....all....about.....the.....spending.

 

[Leweman]

Why not lower corporate tax rates then?

Because it's not about tax rates.

Both the remocrats and depublicans want to protect their spending priorities from the sequester.

It's.....all....about.....the.....spending.

When revenue is down 30% and spending is up 30%, it's not all about the spending. Only if you are an uneducated troll could you believe such nonsense. Saying that it's all about the spending is the same as saying there is no spending problem at all and it's all a revenue problem.

Maybe that is the position I should take. There is no spending problem at all; it's all a revenue problem. If we had enough revenue, there would be no problem with spending. Unfortunately that sounds as stupid as those of you who insist it's all a spending problem.

Pfffft...The republicans want to head off the cuts to the pentagon budget every bit as much as the lolberals want to save their socialistic welfare state spending...The sequester cuts both.

Doesn't matter if the gubmint got $20 trillion a year, they'd find ways to piss it away.

It's all about saving sacred cow spending programs....Absolutely nothing more.

Keep in mind when you guys talk about "revenue" on this thread that you are referring to the people's money not the governments. You are referring to theft.

He's right. Most Americans do favor raising taxes on the most wealthy. Exit polls showed 65% favor raising taxes on the most wealthy. NOT doing what most Americans want would be political suicide for the Republicans. Especially since obstructing the will of the majority would only result in taxes getting raised anyway. So taxes are gonna be raised on the most wealthy one way or another. The only question is how much it's gonna hurt.

Balls in your court Bohner.

so it goes from 47% to 65% of Americans are "beggars"?

ok, you're entitled to your opinion. So how you gonna "fuck" the beggars? What's the play?
The taxes are going up anyway. It's just a question of how hard this is gonna go down. And that decision is gonna be made by the Bohner boys. They own it.

It's Begun: Winner of Election says tax hike on rich should be part of fiscal deal

Obama says tax hike on rich should be part of fiscal deal

Reuters - *20 minutes ago*

Obama's first term - in his own words. Barack Obama's first term, won on a promise of hope and change, featured four years of sobering challenges including the worst recession since the Great Depression, bank and auto bailouts, two wars, the fall of some of ...

This is it. The majority now needs to back the President with more than just a vote. We need to say to our friends and opponents "help, get out of the way"



Stand with the President!

....

In his first event at the White House since beating Republican Mitt Romney in Tuesday's election, Obama called on Congress to work with him to produce a plan and invited congressional leaders to meet with him next week.

"I'm not wedded to every detail of my plan. I'm open to compromise. I'm open to new ideas," he said.

The "fiscal cliff" of steep government spending cuts and tax increases due to be implemented under existing law in early 2013 is Obama's most pressing challenge after winning a second term.

Aimed at cutting the federal budget deficit, the planned measures could take an estimated $600 billion out of the economy and severely hinder economic growth.

While striking a conciliatory tone toward the Republican House majority, Obama said voters supported his ideas, including raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

"I just want to point out, this was a central question during the election. It was debated over and over again. And on Tuesday night we found out that the majority of Americans agree with my approach," he said.

Time to stand with the President or get out of the way.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

tax the fuck outta em. we love us some class war fare. Yay demoncraps.

The bitter fruit of the willow tree speaks?

..

How about all those that voted for Obama get a tax hike and all that voted Romney get tax cuts?

the people who voted for obummer don't pay taxes, they just when others do.

If only elderly handicapped veterans like you voted for Obama, Romney would have won ;;;; 47%

If they taxed them 100% - it would barely create a small blip on the deficit radar.
A fact that the left just won't address....too busy getting a sugar buzz off the kool aid.

100%? tax the wealthy at the same rate they were taxed under those sooooo bad Clinton years.


what a loser you are
