Forward? Only with his socialist utopian dreams. Remember when Obama was against raising taxes on anyone in a recession? Or rather, danced around the notion with lip service to settle the masses in '09...
Now back to today...
TheRightScoop: Today Obama began his newest class warfare campaign announcing that he wants to extend the Bush tax cuts but only for the so-called middle class, which amounts to nothing more than a tax increase on anyone making over $250k/yr in the midst of a terribly sluggish economy, which we all know is eventually a tax increase on all Americans.
Ok, that last bit about being "eventually a tax increase on all Americans"...well, Steny Hoyer gave us a glimpse into the post-election reality...
"I think the President initially has it just about right at the $250[K]. I want to say that I'd be prepared to go lower at sometime in the future than that..."
The 'future' meaning 'after we get our guy back in'. And don't let Pelosi or Schumer fool you either...they've already backed off their $1 million mark. And besides, they were only masking what Hoyer's blurting out anyway!
H/T: WashingtonFreeBeacon, Mark Levin
ADDENDUM: Levin elaborates on the shell game related to what Hoyer let slip out on Monday...
...and as Rush just reminded everyone on Wednesday's program, not only are Obama's proposed extension of the Bush tax cuts not 'cuts' at all, they're the current 'rates' (so don't be fooled with the nonsense of cuts), but Obama's tax proposal also accommodates the first $250K of everyone, even those evil rich...so kinda subverts his own angle. However, his class warfare rhetoric will still override this reality for most of the populace. Obama counts on the ill-informed.
