Obama Peddles Massive Myth
About The Fiscal Cliff

Investors Business Daily, by Staff

Practically every time he opens his mouth these days, President Obama warns that middle-class taxes will automatically go up on Jan. 1 if Congress fails to act on the fiscal cliff before year´s end. "The typical, middle-class family of four will see an income tax hike of around $2,200. How many of you can afford to pay another $2,200 in taxes?" he says. It´s all meant to scare the public into thinking there´s no hope of keeping middle-class taxes down if a deal isn´t worked out before Dec. 31. But Obama is creating a false sense of urgency — and needlessly scaring millions of middle-class families — simply to

Comments:
Hussein was reelected by Low Information Voters. His real agenda is to TAX the Successful. That is the message the Republicans SHOULD be shouting in public and directly to America. Give BETTER than you take.

Obama´s right.

The Democrats won´t be able to help themselves and will look to add more to the tax increase.

The funny thing is the Dems want the Republicans to cave on the top 2% so they can use it against them for "raising taxes" but mainly so they can be restrained from increasing that group to the top 10%.

Boehner needs to clearly state, the added tax revenue from the increasing the top 2% will only cover the current yearly deficit for 1 week. (it´s a great visual for anyone to realize)

And then criticize Harry Reid
"look, Democrat Senator Reid has been leading the Senate for 6 years now, and for the last 4 hasn´t even proposed a budget. I presume he´s afraid to offer his own specifics, beyond taxing small businesses, and doesn´t dare vote on the President´s plan". (in those exact words)

The dirty little secret is that the wealthy do not have enough money to fund his spending addiction.
It´s in the middle class, because there are so many of us.
Obama is coming after us, trust me.

I am sure that Obama is wrong about the taxes going up on the middle class as he and his fellow democrats have always said that the Bush tax cuts went to only the wealthy. So we in the middle have nothing to fear, no tax hike for us. Could I be wrong? Hmmmm.

Someone ought to make a cartoon of Obama threatning to go over the cliff holding hands with the News Media!

Most Americans do not realize the jig is up. You violate the laws of science which ecomoices is one - you are screwed. Once the US bonds are downgraded one little notch the pain begins. the only thing that is holding us from going over the edge is that the US currency is 75% of the worlds reserve.

Obama´s speeches are all about making sure peeps blame the GOP when 70% of workers have a tax increase.

Think about what Obozo is using to calculate who gets the high rate.... Your Net Worth... not your annual salary.

If you have a home only worth $160k, you are not safe; Obozo´s CZars are calculating your homes value as Best Use, not market value.

Obozo will pull off this scam & the GOP will be blamed.

It will be BARRY´s fault if taxes on the middle class revert back. He wants to close more small businesses to prove he´s king. I say let them expire. Vote present if you have to. Then let the multitude on the middle class get up in arms against congress. They´re the ones who voted those worthless demonrats into office.

I think the only thing preventing the WH from imposing their high tax garbage on the middle and lower classes right now is that they haven´t figured out the method to use that leaves their political hides intact after it happens. The media won´t escape the consequences easily either. Good.

Never let a crisis go to waste. Especially when it´s of your own making.

Recall that Obamacare was also in need of being finished "now". When the dust settled, most of the major portions of it would not take effect until 2013 and 2014... after the recoronation, of course.

The problem is, if Obama told the Treasury to leave the tax withholding rates where they are but allowed all the Bush tax cut rates to go up, for a massive amount of people next year there would be no tax refund at all, and in fact most would owe taxes that they would have to make up out of their disposable cash.

A repeat of Henry Paulson´s frightened stare into the camera that gave us TARP. We should have learned that panic produces very bad legislation.

Fool us once ..

(BTW: This is actually a case where it was Bush´s fault. Bush opened the door for NerØbama just as Hoover opened the door for Roosevelt. This is part of the reason that neither the GOP nor the Democratic Party represent my interests anymore.)

Anyone who thinks the fiscal cliff is simply a scare tactic will think otherwise very soon. We just peered over the precipice recently when we asked our accountant to calculate what our net proceeds would be on the sale of our home (like many, we´re looking at escaping to a red state). Our home still has a significant amount of equity even after about a 30% drop in market value from the bubble burst.

So after he calculated the new 3.8% surtax on home sales for Obamacare and the proposed increase in capital gains taxes and the pending increases in state and federal taxes, voila!...we barely net out to zero. The robbery could only be more complete if there was a gun pointed at our heads when we signed the papers.

0blamers whole game is to get the massive tax increase he desires by letting what the democrats call the "Bush tax cuts" expire thus raising everyones taxes take a huge jump.
Rather that proposing this he will do nothing and blame congress for letting it happen.
His base of know nothing voters will fall for it hook line and sinker as their take home pay is decreased. Of course thye large number who pay no taxes will not even notice when they get their welfare checks, food stamps and subsidized housing.

Have the Pubs considered passing an extension of the tax cuts (as current, plus some loopholes capped for high-earners) in the House and sending it to the Senate... I know, I know, the Dems in the Senate wouldn´t pass it, but THEN who would be forcing a tax hike on the middle class?

That bill #21 should have been passed and sent to the senate at least 5 weeks ago and resubmitted daily with loud voices demanding the Dem Senators force Reid to bring it to the floor.
The House and especially the Senate were ruined when power grabbers decided to install committees that were never intended by the Constitution.That Constitution provides for full floor votes up or down one very bill.

The real fiscal cliff will be the complete collapse of the economy if things don´t change soon. As for taxes the real taxes are the quantitative easing which amount to printing money. This dilutes the value of money right in your pocket. The official tax increases are a drop in the bucket compared to this. Diluting the currency is form of default which is not formal default but becomes inevitable at these spending levels. One way or the other government spending costs everybody.

Who is worried? Over what? None of the people who voted for the Democrats and Hussein are worried about taxes! They simply know he´s black and that´s as far as they think. The rest is nothing but hash to them- unrecognizable and unimportant- they don´t even know what the fuss is all about and probably don´t even know there is a fuss. He´s black! That´s that!

It´s often been said the Internal Revenue Service is the most feared bureaucracy in the United States. Little wonder. As the agency openly proclaims on their own website, concerning what actions they might take if your taxes are unpaid: We could seize and sell property that you hold (such as your car, boat, or house), or we could levy property that is yours but is held by someone else (such as your wages, retirement accounts, dividends, bank accounts, licenses, rental income, accounts receivables, the cash loan value of your life insurance, or commissions).

Scandal is not Enough

The scandal eruption currently surrounding the Obama regime was inevitable. The only question was when and what would finally break through the wall erected around the White House by the media. It has long been obvious to conservatives in America that Barack Obama and his fellow travelers are devoid of any honor or integrity and have been immersed in not only socialist/ Marxist philosophy but the belief that they are preordained to govern the masses. Therefore there is but one enemy -- their political opposition, who must be defeated at any cost and by any means possible, ethical or otherwise.

In the days before the 1905 Russian Revolution, there was great discontent with the Tsar´s dictatorship. The revolution was a "wave of mass political and social unrest that spread through vast areas of the Russian Empire. Some of it was directed against the government, while some was undirected. It included terrorism, worker strikes, peasant unrest, and military mutinies." These cataclysmic changes evoked a number of reactions. Isaac Leib Peretz, one of the luminaries of Yiddish literature, wrote a small essay entitled "Hope and Fear," wherein he asserted the following. I worry. As victors.

Michelle Obama on Friday urged black youth to stay in school instead of dropping out to become a "baller or a rapper." The first lady, speaking to graduates at Bowie State University, a historically black college, criticized the worship of sports stars and celebrities. "Today, instead of walking miles every day to school, they’re sitting on couches for hours playing video games, watching TV," she said of black youth. "Instead of dreaming of being a teacher or a lawyer or a business leader, they’re fantasizing about being a baller or a rapper."

Why Andrew Breitbart Walked

Whenever Andrew Breitbart saw that somebody was being unfairly maligned by the institutional Left, he became that person´s stalwart defender. Sarah Palin, perhaps more than any other person in recent history, endured the full weight of what Breitbart called the "Democrat-media complex," and so Sarah Palin had no more fierce a defender than Andrew Breitbart. He never explicitly endorsed her for President--Breitbart, as a rule, didn´t endorse candidates. He wasn´t a policy wonk, nor did he enjoy punditry--Breitbart´s sights were consistently set on the media. He understood how the media can shape, influence, or

Taxes on some wealthy French
top 100 pct of income: paper

More than 8,000 French households´ tax bills topped 100 percent of their income last year, the business newspaper Les Echos reported on Saturday, citing Finance Ministry data. The newspaper said that the exceptionally high level of taxation was due to a one-off levy last year on 2011 incomes for households with assets of more than 1.3 million euros ($1.67 million). President Francois Hollande´s Socialist government imposed the tax surcharge last year, shortly after taking office, to offset the impact of a rebate scheme created by its conservative predecessor to cap an individual´s overall taxation at 50 percent of income.

Thirty-six weeks. That´s the average time an unemployed American is out of work in the Obama-led economy, according to the latest government data. For anyone who has been jobless for an extended duration of time, nine months seems like an eternity. But, nine months is the norm in the Obama economy. The latest data from the Department of Labor show the nation´s unemployment rate stands at 7.5%. The Obama Administration and Obama backers are quick to point out that this rate is the lowest of his presidency. However, the deeper we dig into the state of the unemployed under Obama,

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.
