Obama's latest speech

[Cimerian]

In Obama's latest speech he threw out some things that made go hmm. He Claims 80% of Americans want a tax increase? Sorry, I mean revenue increase that is the new buzz word for it I guess. He claims that the majority of republican voters want a "revenue" tax increase? Did he smoke some wacky weed before saying this? Is there even one single polling to support this?

It's all George Bush's fault.

On Deficit, Americans Prefer Spending Cuts; Open to Tax Hikes

Only 20% are entirely against tax increases.

Given that about 50% pay no income taxes at all, the credibility of that 80% number would be pared down quite a bit.

Nothing like a fraudulent premise to create your "overwhelming majority".

Total only/mostly with spending cuts; 50%

Total only/mostly with Tax increases; 11%



The 11% are morons. Why should we listen to them?
