NOT ENOUGH RICH LEFT TO ROB

Think you're safe and Mommy government will keep you well fed and entertained, regardless of your status as slave to The State? Think again. From SixMeatBuffet:

Unless you count cigarettes, fast food, sodas, allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire or the new tax that we’re going to raise for 95% of Americans:

To get the economy back on track, will President Barack Obama have to break his pledge not to raise taxes on 95 percent of Americans? In a “This Week” exclusive, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told me, “We’re going to have to do what’s necessary.”

While Geithner told me, “There are signs the recession is easing,” he warned that, “We have a ways to go.”

This is the inherent problem with Democratic Socialism, at some point, you run out of the top 5% of people’s money. However, it took less than 6 months into Obama’s first year to run out of 100% of the people’s money. If your entire platform is spending and giveaways, how does this bode for an administration with 3 and a half years left? Better start shutting down those right-wing AM radio stations lest the withering criticism begins to scorch your legendarily thin skin.

Hell, even the Obama-tool the NYTimes is reporting his breaking that "I'll only soak the rich" campaign promise:

On Saturday, such an inconvenient truth was actually revealed by none other than the New York Times:

"This idea that everything new that government provides ought to be paid for by the top 5 percent, that's a basically unstable way of governing."..."There is no way we can pay for health care and the rest of the Obama agenda, plus get our long-term deficits under control, simply by raising taxes on the wealthy...The middle class is going to have to contribute as well."

And check this out, from The Tax Foundation: the tax burden of the top 1% now exceeds that of the bottom 95%. Guess Der Messiah will have to start putting the gun to the heads of the middle class now.


Here's your change. Hope you like Ramen.
