Obama double talk on new taxes

It’s only just begun. The Obama statements that only the wealthy will have their taxes raised were not evidently passed on to his democratic colleagues.

A report from the Washington Post Workers' Health Benefits Eyed for Taxation - washingtonpost.com shows that many politicians, led by Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), think it would be a good idea to begin taxing the employer provided health benefits. These are currently considered pretax dollars but could be an easy target to help pay for the expensive Obama plans.

Baucus made the statement "Everybody's got to share together in the solution. And this might be one component to sharing".

Since when does everyone have to be equal? Some individuals choose riskier lifestyles, make poorer choices and are generally higher risks. Equality will never be achieved and individual responsibility is evidently no where in the democratic plan.

Obama’s budget director Peter Orszag said taxing employer benefits was among several ideas that "most firmly should remain on the table." Obama’s White House economic adviser Jason Furman called for an end to the so-called "employer exclusion" before he joined the administration and other congressional Democrats say the White House has signaled that Obama would accept a tax on employer benefits as long as he didn't have to propose it himself. (What a piece of work this guy is)

I am already tiring of the Obama rhetoric and his “redistribution of wealth”, socialist philosophy. His double talk is nauseating.

You’d better hang on to your wallets; the ride has just begun!!
