Prior to last nights debate, all Americans thought that Obama was only going to raise taxes on incomes over 250,000. NOT TRUE:
Capital gain taxes: Go from current 15% to 28% on everyone.
When Obama was questioned about his 28% capital gains tax, almost doubled what it is now, every American heard a tax INCREASE. Even though the commentator told Obama that it has been proven twice that LOWER capital gains tax, actually INCREASES tax revenue, he would not back down. Obama is out to get the rich wall-streeters, but forgets that average working class Americans invest in stocks for their kids college education & retirement. Also retired Americans who depend on dividend checks gets slammed, under his policy. So, while he's out to get "Warren Buffet", he is going to penalize EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN THAT INVESTS FOR COLLEGE & RETIREMENT. Obama was questioned twice about this & looked totally dumbfounded when re-questioned. Then he says, we'll see? What in the heck did that mean? "We'll see if a higher capital gains tax will increase tax revenue?" He was just told that it has been proven that lower capital gains tax increases tax revenue." This guy was not only dumbfounded, but arrogant.
Raise the cap on Social Security & Medicare taxes: IS A TAX increase: Not only will it hurt average working class Americans, but small business too. Your employer has to match your contribution, so their taxes go up along with yours. This is not an economic stimulus, it is an economic depressor.
Iraq: General Obama then goes on to say that no matter what the commanders, "on the ground" tell him in Iraq, by golly he is pulling out within 16 months of his inaguration, & dammed be the consequences. Not only that, but he makes clear that he will be the "only" one to decide where our troops are & whom to go after. This isn't all, once Obama decides on a military strike, he will also be in charge of micro-managing the strike itself. Someone please tell me, has Obama EVER been in the military of the United States? Because he sure acts like he has decades of experience.
Americans--put your EARS on!

Does this mean that you support $500B annual spending deficits with their debt service and colonization of other countries?
