Obama’s Weekly Address: Giving Republicans ‘Another Chance’ on Jobs

Scolding people for trying to stop passage of more failed bills just like his health care bill that is unraveling is quite amusing. I would tell him to be transparent with the Solyndra investigation first and turn over all the evidence requested and quit hiding the truth before passage of any of his failed bills would even be considered. Failed policies from a failed president isnt very smart.

RIPE with hypocrisy!!!!! ——- When will the major media outlets at LEAST challenge the President’s obvious incincerity!!! —– Obama has been campaigning across the country, blaming Republicans for not passing his “American Jobs Act”. Yet on October 4th, Republican Mitch McConnell tried to force such a vote in the Democrat-controlled Senate, attacjing this bill to another the Dems WANTED to pass. Lacking support for the “Jobs Bill”, Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid had to BLOCK the vote, sparing the President a HUMILIATING DEFEAT in a body of Congress controlled by his own party. Later that day Jim Messina of the White House send out a message to supporters, urging them to “find Republican members of Congress on Twitter, call them out, and demand they pass this bill.” —– The public that just reads the headlines are being DUPED!! — Isn’t it a sad commentary on the Democratic Party to hang on to ANY chance of re-election by LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!!!

MainelyDoc | October 15, 2011, 8:52 am —— This is a “TAX AND SPEND” bill…. not a jobs bill!! — It is another round of “stimulus”… and the first one didn’t work!!! — If that temporary money is there for your school board today.. what will happen tomorrow when you have to pay for those teachers outof your own school board’s budget??? Layoffs?? — PLUS… we DON’T HAVE another $450 BILLION dollars to throw at Keynesian economics!!!!

Wow! The Naked Emoeror is flailing now. Very pathetic. Narcissism on parade. Get ready for some extreme wagging the dog as he AVOIDS reminding Congress and the American people of SOLYNDRA. KAISER, FAST & FURIOUS. Keep them watching the stinky kids in the park. Maybe those Special Ops Forces will bring him some more Military glory in Uganda. Hey, has the ATF been hanging around Africa lately? Is he attempting a pre coup for when he’s done in 012? Imagine Obama with the Power of Mugabe? Now there’s a thought. No Congress to stop him then.

GOP to Obama: Your plan does not create jobs. That is why we cannot support it!

All you Teapublicans specialize in is lie about everything. Republicans have decided to do anything to create jobs because it is going to make Obama look good. Shame on the obstructionist and do notting party. Obama did something more to help this Country his first two years, than the last few republican administration.
Because of Obama care, children will preexisting condition can no longer be denied coverage. We are yet to see grand ma and grand pa being killed because of Obama care.
9 of the 10 poorest state in this Country have been Republican controlled for a long time. The republican party have done notting to help the middle class. All you care about is the top 1%.
Estimate by most economist say that Obama plan will create about 1.9 million jobs. The do notting Teapublicans have no plan. All they care about is to defeat Obama, even if it means destroying the country.

From Politico, The most Open and Transparent Administration is at it again.
Obama’s lawyer appealing judges ruling that secret service records of visitors
to the White House are subject to disclosure under the Freedom of information act.
The President doesn’t like anyone to know when all his wall street and rowdy
radical friends come and visit.

MainelyDoc | October 15, 2011, 8:52 am – - I’m on our school board. ARRA gave us money to keep a teaching staff that we couldn’t afford locally. – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - Giving money to local schools allows teacher wages/benefits to avoid reflecting local market conditions to artificially allow public sector wages to outstrip private sector wages/benefits. The solution is not less teachers but for teacher salary/benefits to reflect the “new norma” economic conditions!

And then……. Rep. Jesse Jackson Calls on Government to Hire All Unemployed Americans for $40,000 Each!!!!!! —— What IS IT with these idiot Democrats!!!!!!

This guy is a joke

As an Independent, I can’t endorse Cain’s 999 idea in it entirety, but I do think it’s a significant improvement over the Federal tax system we have now,———————Wrong. Go back to school . Can’t you read ? Go do some research ( not on FOX ) and see just how many non-partisan experts are backing the 9-9-9 foolishness , I haven’t seen any so far personally. All the economic experts I have seen say it’s a terrible idea , even Bush’s top economic advisor blasted it publicly . You conservatives ( and Independents too evidently ) need to grow some brains , yours are so tiny they are next to useless apparently.

The President wraps a few good “jobs” ideas around a Trojan Horse full of unnecessary spending ideas and says the bill must be passed as a package. This same approach brought us Obamacare and if any aspect of the bill is questioned the President attacks you as being against the good aspects! No more 3000 page bills which need to be passed to find out what is in them!!!!!

Obama’s Giving Republicans ‘Another Chance’ on Jobs.

HA ha ha ha ha!
Hey Barry, this high school level nanny nanny bo bo stuff won’t ever work with the American people.

Hey, pizza, even as bad as yours, is still better than empty Hope and Change that never came.

If you need more Hopes, I will sell you each for 2 cents. Wait, for you, a 50% discount, 1 cent a Hope. How about buying 10,000 of them.

“No wonder we’re in trouble in this country”

That’s right, it has nothing to do with all our huge mistakes.

No Obama, America gave you another chance on jobs, and since you took office you’ve lost 2.2 million jobs on your watch. Why? Because you refuse to do what’s needed to boost our economy and instead resort the old playbook of tax and spend out of a recession which has been proven again and again and again, one omnibus spending bill and huge bailouts after another. You’ve blown YOUR chances by trying the same ole thing again instead of cutting the federal regulatory red tape that is strangling our production. DO THAT and you’ll get our support. Keep doing your tired old failed policies o taxing and spending and you’re gone in 2012 – which appears to be your wish with your behavior.

Wall Street (3:41 PM); “That’s right, it has nothing to do with all our huge mistakes.” People who have a skewed view of political reality and blindly adhere to a strict political ideology enable their leaders to make hugh mistakes.

Concerning Jobs; According to BLS, job loss in the first 4 months of Obama’s term was 2.5 million. Since June of 2009, when the stimulus money was first spent under Obama (and the generally accepted end of the recession), job gain has been 600,000 over the next 2 years to June 2011. Still pretty anemic for the billions (more like $3 trillion) spent. It’s up to the individual to evaluate it’s worth and effectiveness. You do the math.

i did the math. It comes out to $5M/job. That’s if you assume the stimulus was only for job stimulus, which, of course, it wasn’t since the money was going everywhere.

GOP; Ok, you got it. I will continue to avoid mentioning it. But if you’re interested, you can look it up.

I think a lot of Republicans are about to be jobless. Then thay can call each other lazy…

More hope and change, anyone?

I’m all for keeping teachers, firefighters and police in their jobs – and taxing the super rich to do it. The super rich have been hoarding and sitting on the country’s wealth – it needs to be circulated.

“and free people and their free market will recovery the economy from its government-induced failure”

Obviously it wasn’t OUR fault…Republican run government MADE us take big risks at the public’s expense by telling it was OK to.

More hope and change, anyone?

You bet!

I’m all for keeping teachers, firefighters and police in their jobs – and taxing the super rich to do it. The super rich have been hoarding and sitting on the country’s wealth – it needs to be circulated.

The more money gets circulated (instead of hoarded by the super rich), the more things get purchased, the more jobs get created and so on.

‘Stealing for those who produce and create jobs ”

Taxation is not theft.
It’s American workers who produce nearly everything.
And these so called ‘job creators’ aren’t creating any jobs.

Can I have a side of fries with that baloney sandwich?

SAMI: “. . . government MADE us take big risks at the public’s expense by telling it was OK to.”

Well, they did encourage the risky behavior through the CRA and other government initiatives to promote home ownership among the low income and other uncreditworthy. Government distorted the market further by owning up half of the mortgage market backing and guaranteeing all the risky bad debt that they fueled.

When we remove the artificial influence of government choosing winners and losers, we won’t have these sort of systemic government-induced problems. Centrally planned markets and economies have a strong history of failure. This is just another episode of failed government central planning to add to the long list.

“Had those local government not wasted the people’s money on things they didn’t need”
And people like ourselves and our Republican colleagues should be the ones deciding what people really need.

POSTED BY: WALL STREET | OCTOBER 15, 2011, 9:56 PM 9:56 PM

Yes, it’s their form of ‘freedom’ when the Republcans and the rich decide what you people really need.

SAMI: “Not so, the facts say it was Bush’s cut taxes for the rich and cut regulations for corporations that failed.”

Unburdening the means of production isn’t the problem and never will be as that’s where the production and job creation happens, not government. Government central planning in our housing market, on the other hand, is what caused our economy to falter, not the people’s suffocated free market.

SAMI: “. . . a banking and housing collapse – and an almost complete economic collapse that set all the world teetering.”

Yes, the government central planning in our housing market was disastrous. The people’s free market worked just fine in building this great country, less the government influence.

FLAG DAY: “How shameful to describe our Armed Forces in this way.”

They do an awesome job of protecting our country, but they don’t produce jobs or economic growth. That happens in the private sector. Only liberals use our military as a means to justify growing their tyrannical s o c i a i l i s t government. They use teachers, fire fighters, police, and children, why not our armed forces? All a means to a tyrannical end to them, nothing more.

FLAG DAY: “And the government our Founding Fathers created is something all real Americans are very proud of!”

Yeah, the advocated for limited government, not the monstrosity we have now. Get real!

SAMI: “Yes, our completely government owned and operated military services.-not a ‘waste’ at all!”

More word games. Within the context of job creation and economic growth, the government wastes the peoples money, period. Stop using our military to justify your failed hope and change s o c i a l i s m!

POSTED BY: ANONYMOUS | OCTOBER 15, 2011, 11:06 PM 11:06 PM

Sorry, I don’t want Republicans making any decisions for me – already saw the disastrous results under George Bush. His tax cuts for the rich and cut regulations for corporations failed. What did we get? Big deficits, big debt, a banking and housing collapse – and an almost complete economic collapse that set all the world teetering.

Maybe that is how you defined success, not me . . . . and not most regular, common-sense Americans.

SAMI: “Keep up the good work, those trillions of dollars in tax breaks and loopholes must be protected at all hazards.”

Those dollars are already taxed anyway. Taxing twice is the real loophole, which amounts taxation without representation.

And, speak for yourself and your fear of the people controlling their own destiny and growing their own economy. Liberals in government and dependent on government won’t let go of the people’s dollars easily.

SAMI: “. . . a banking and housing collapse – and an almost complete economic collapse that set all the world teetering.”

You’re apparently not aware of the packaging and reselling of sub-prime mortgages as assets by the financial institutions, who then ‘bet against’ those assets through institutions like AIG. “Much wants more” as my father would occasionally say. Any surprise there was a collapse?

None of us Americans are interested in

SAMI: “Any surprise there was a collapse?”

With government backing and encouraging all that risky debt, absolutely not. Which is the point. Get government out of the people’s free market. Why do liberals fear freedom?

“With government backing and encouraging all that risky debt”

Risky debt? Whoever said that debt was ‘risky’? We gave most of it AAA ratings! We and the other major rating agencies are a completely private firms btw.

“With government backing and encouraging all that risky debt”

Yeah, government backed all that risky debt, it’s why we’re still a major investment powerhouse to this very day….it gets funnier every time we hear it.

SAMI: “And people like ourselves and our Republican colleagues should be the ones deciding what people really need.”

Only liberals think giving the people their money back is ‘deciding what people really need.’ When they have their money back, they decide for themselves. When government confiscates it to waste growing government or spreading to those who don’t work for themselves, government is making the choice for them.

Democrats are only pro-choice when it comes to killing babies. When it comes to your money, they’ll make all the decisions. Hypocritical tyrants! More hope and change?

We are the 99%. You are a Republican.

“Only liberals think giving the people their money back is ‘deciding what people really need.”

And only right-wingers hope the public will buy the scam that cutting government programs and protections is somehow going to save them money. The only people who the Tea Party ultimately plans to give alot of money back to is those who already have by far the most of it.

Does that baloney sandwich come with cole slaw?

Democrats are only pro-choice when it comes to killing babies.

————————————————–
Republicans are pro-choice when it comes to killing babies by denying them adequate medical care, if their parents aren’t covered or if they’re here illegally, or if the Republicans need to start a war. how many Iraqi babies died?

JUNK: “We have millions of Americans who can’t wait around unemployed for the ten years or so it might take for the economy to crawl back again on its own.”

Government burdening the means of production and job creation is what has stalled our recovery. It won’t take 10 years to recover unless we bog down the source of our recovery as Obama did with his failed hope and change. There’s no good reason to grow our economy inefficiently through government and there never will be. No more. The American people won’t be fooled by the hope and change scam again!

JUNK: “It’s simple: The Tea Party wants to give huge tax breaks and give a lot of money back to those who already have almost half the nation’s wealth, while asking everybody else to make big sacrifices in public services and protections alleging it will somehow save them money.”

Conservatives want to unburden the means of production and job creation, while liberals want to bog down our recovery with more hope and change government waste to keep those Democrat votes coming in. The conservative approach will benefit all by recovering our economy efficiently and quickly, which is impossible with the government approach. That’s why Obama’s hope and change failed so miserably.

JUNK: “It’s got nothing to do with creating jobs, businesses are already just sitting on trillions of dollars without creating jobs.”

Given your logic, they’ll refuse the government money too then. If they will accept the money from government, they will accept the money from the people when they are allowed to spend it, less the government inefficiency and waste.

JUNK: “There is absolutely no reason why the electorate should buy this scam.”

Only liberals think the source of all job creation and production, the private sector, is a scam. More hope and change, anyone?

Anonymous, Noz, the majority of Americans are NOT conservative.

Only 10% of Americans identify as very conservative.
Only 29% of Americans identify as socially conservative.
Roughly 40% identify as conservative in some way, including fiscally and somewhat.

The majority of Americans identify as not conservative, either moderate or liberal. But you both label all of them as liberal. However you choose to look at it, the majority of Americans are not part of your tribe.

The majority of Americans view the tea party and religious right negatively. The majority of Americans view jobs and the economy as a priority and blame Republicans for the Bush recession and the tea party downgrade.

The GOP is very unpopular. And why wouldn’t they be? They promised to focus on jobs and they haven’t. They blocked a bill that the majority of Americans support. They are out of step with Main street and mainstream America.

On top of that, Herman Cain wants to build an electrified and barb-wired fence that fries those who want to leave or enter the country. He also has long ties to AFP and the Koch brothers. His 999 plan is a plan to raise taxes on the middle and lower classes, significantly.

Of course, he’s right when he points out that Romney isn’t a staunch conservative, he just panders to them for political expediency.

But the problem for the noisy minority– those who identify as very conservative and/or socially conservative, or even somewhat conservative– is that it is impossible for them to find a candidate who represents their principles and doesn’t sound crazy. Bachmann, Perry, Cain… all say crazy things. Why? The ideology lends itself to that.

Time to vote sensible… for an independent, moderate or democrat. Far right wingers don’t represent the 60% or the 99%.

“A bunch of dirty hippies protesting “…

Yesterday there were demonstrations related to the Occupy/We’re the 99% movement in 951 cities in 82 countries. There were demonstrations in NY, Chicago, Denver, Phoenix, Tucson, Fort Meyers, Memphis, Boston, Washington, D.C, London, Berlin, Montreal, etc, etc, etc.

Martin Luther King III wrote a piece in the Washington Post called “Martin Luther King’s legacy for today” and he reminds us that “Martin Luther King Jr. was an impassioned advocate of economic justice as well as social justice. As he said, “The right to sit at a lunch counter is empty if you cannot afford a meal.” He believed that every American family deserved to have decent living standards, including employment, adequate housing, nourishment, health care, education for children and safe, thriving communities. The 1963 March on Washington, during which he gave his historic “I Have a Dream” speech, was a march for “Jobs and Justice,” rooted in the conviction that it is not possible to have one without the other.”

“Ordinary Americans in President Goldman Sach’s administration can’t find a banker to prosecute for anything”

Of course not. Nobody can realistically claim our activities were very smart, but the Bush administration, the SEC and the Fed under Greenspan took steps so that all our activities were legal.

Lizzie, the demonstration in NY was one of the biggest to date. It’s growing. There were demonstrations related to the Occupy/We’re the 99% movement in 951 cities in 82 countries. In addition to NY, there were demonstrations Chicago, Denver, Phoenix, Tucson, Fort Meyers, Memphis, Boston, Washington, D.C, London, Berlin, Montreal, Spain, and so on… look it up!

Only a stooge would think the demonstrators were paid astroturf — or someone projecting their own situation as a member of the highly unpopular tea party.

“If he were alive today, I believe he would remind us that the unemployed worker can rightly challenge the excesses of Wall Street without demonizing all who work there,” the president said. “Those with power and privilege will often decry any call for change as divisive. They’ll say any challenge to the existing arrangements are unwise and destabilizing. Dr. King understood that peace without justice was no peace at all.” — President Obama.

KIMBERLY: “Anonymous, Noz, the majority of Americans are NOT conservative.”

Yes, they are. According to the last few years of Gallup ‘US Political Ideology’ polls, most Americans are conservative at 40%. Liberals have represented a mere 20%, at most, over the last 20 years the poll has been taken.

Conservative – 40%
Independent – 35%
Liberal – 20%

KIMBERLY: “The majority of Americans identify as not conservative, either moderate or liberal.”

It’s not accurate to combine independents and liberals, as the poll wasn’t conducted that way.

KIMBERLY: “But you both label all of them as liberal.”

Actually, conservatives don’t need to manipulate the poll results as you do. When comparing conservatives, independents, and liberals, a majority are conservative, period. Stop lying to people. You aren’t fooling anyone important.

They’ve been missing for a long time which is why the GOP, its tea party, its congressional members, its religious right and its presidential candidates are so very unpopular. They’ve misinterpreted the message they were sent in ’06 and ’08 and turned themselves into a party of crackpots, zealots and greed-driven robber barons, and/or panderers to crackpots and zealots and greed-driven robber barons .

KIMBERLY: “. . . absolutely NO Gallup ‘US Political Ideology’ polls has a breakdown of conservative, independent, liberal. Not one. Your information is bogus.”

Your failure to do a simple web search doesn’t translate to my information being bogus. The only people you are fooling are those who are too lazy to do the web search, which isn’t anyone important, as they won’t be motivated to vote either. Your efforts are hollow and fruitless.

For those interested in the truth, search for the following to find the long-running Gallup poll I’ve referenced:

“U.S. Political Ideology Stable With Conservatives Leading”

Conservative – 40%
Independent – 35%
Liberal – 20%

Anonymous, Absolutely NO Gallup ‘US Political Ideology’ poll has a breakdown of conservative, independent, liberal. Not one. Your information is bogus. Cite the date of any single one, and we’ll check it. But, certainly, you ought to check it. It is sloppy to misquote polls as many times as you do– over and over like a crazy robot.

FYI: In all cases they poll for conservative, Moderate, liberal… and in every case that the majority is not conservative. According to your own bogus, made up information, 60% of Americans are unwilling to identify themselves as conservatives.

The GOP, its tea party, its agenda, its congressional candidates and its GOP candidates are very unpopular and out of step with mainstream America.

They are blatant hypocrites. They promised to focus on jobs, and they haven’t. They’ve blocked a popular bill. They took solemn pledges not to raise taxes but now they’re promoting tax hikes.

However piously they cite Reagan as their idol, the Republican candidates are universally supportive of repealing the earned income tax credit, which Reagan praised in 1986 as “the best anti-poverty, the best pro-family, the best job creation measure to come out of Congress.”

Polls show that most Americans — including most Republican voters — strongly favor raising rates on the wealthiest taxpayers, BUT the GOP leadership has sworn to prevent any such reform. So much for Boehner’s promise to listen to the people. Rather than close the grossest loopholes and deductions exploited by billionaires, Republican politicians want to punish all those families living large on $300 a week or less.

The GOP versus America… enough already.

Meanwhile the Time poll has support for the Wall st protesters at TWICE that as for the Tea Party, 54 to 27 while support for congressional Republicans plummets.

p.s. to A, I’m not surprised you don’t understand the definitions of moderate and independent and how they differ as you also seem incapable of grasping the meaning of majority.

A moderate is a person who is moderate and reasonable in opinion and opposed to extreme views and actions, especially in politics or religion. In American politics, the term is also used as to denote a tendency toward centrism. Most democrats and independents are moderates. Some Republicans are too, though lately, the GOP has become unwelcoming to anyone who isn’t very conservative or is unwilling to at least pander endlessly to the very conservative, which represents only 1 out of every 10 Americans. No wonder the GOP is increasingly unpopular and viewed as insane, right?

Independents are politicians and voters who are unaffiliated with one of the two major parties in the United States. They can be radically left or right, conservative, liberal, a Green, a Libertarian, a Hipster (hipsters like independence), a member of the Alaskan secession party, or they can be centrist and moderate.

There is a difference between independents and moderates. Moderates are NOT conservative.

The majority of Americans are NOT conservative.

A recent poll by CBS found a similar margin. The Wall st protests are about twice as popular with Americans as the Tea Party. To think the Tea party message is being completely overshadowed by a bunch of ‘dirty hippies’! Ouch,that’s gotta hurt.

KIMBERLY: “The majority of Americans are NOT conservative.”

When comparing conservatives, moderates, and liberals, conservatives are in the majority. Get over your petty little word games. As usual, when you lose the argument, you resort to obstructing constructive debate. Again, you aren’t fooling anyone important. Therefor, your efforts are hollow and fruitless.

According to the last few years of Gallup ‘U.S. Political Ideology’ polls, most Americans are conservative at 40%. Liberals have represented a mere 20%, at most, over the last 20 years the poll has been taken.

Anonymous, thank you for correcting your repeated and deceitful error.

The word games were on your part and needed to be fixed or called out. Your kitty claws because you were called out fail to intimidate me.

A majority means more than half, most.

Most Americans, the majority, are NOT conservative, and actually view the tea party and Congressional Republicans very negatively.

Today’s so called “conservatives” are actually radical reactionaries. They’d like to return to the 1920s — before Social Security, unemployment insurance, labor laws, the minimum wage, Medicare and Medicaid, worker safety laws, the Environmental Protection Act, the Glass-Steagall Act, the Securities and Exchange Act, and the Voting Rights Act.

America isn’t up for that. The radicalized GOP is wrong and out of step with the majority of America.

KIMBERLY: “A majority means . . . most.”

Correct. When comparing conservatives, moderates, and liberals, conservatives are in the majority.

Americans all across the country are waking up to their divisive tactics and failed approaches.

Anonymous, the GOP frontrunner of the moment is Cain with his 999 plan that raises taxes on the middle class. All of the GOP candidates have either pledged or stated their intent not to raise taxes on the wealthy but all now agree that they will raise taxes on what they characterize as the freeloading middle class. And so called “conservatives” (the zealots and crackpots, previously mentioned) are woot-wooting them on thinking falsely they will spared, that maybe by then they won’t be one of the 99% that is getting passed over and exploited. Shrinking the middle class and/or taxing the heck out of them smacks of what the American revolution was all about in the first place. Stiglitz gets it right in the quote @ 4:16 pm

Rather than close the grossest loopholes and deductions exploited by billionaires, Republican politicians want to punish all those families living large on $300 a week or less.

Mitt Romney is beating Obama’s fundraising on Wall Street, but nowhere else, since Obama raised more than 5 times what Mitt did during the last cycle.

What is he missing? The Wall st protests are about twice as popular with Americans as the Tea Party. The tea party is viewed very negatively as are congressional republicans.

70% of Americans disapprove of Congressional republicans.

The majority of Americans don’t view corporations as people, too.

The GOP versus America… enough already.

KIMBERLY: “Anonymous, the GOP frontrunner of the moment is Cain with his 999 plan that raises taxes on the middle class.”

Actually, the 9% flat income tax is less than the current lowest tax bracket of 10%. With a flat tax all are paying their true fair share of government. I thought that’s what you liberals wanted? Guess not. If fact, you want the productive to pay for the unproductive. That’s s o c i a l i s m, that’s not what built America or what we are all about.

KIMBERLY: “70% of Americans disapprove of Congressional republicans.”

Not based on last year’s congressional elections and this year’s special elections, the only polls that count.

Not to mention (that’s right I did mention this a few times), according to the last few years of Gallup ‘U.S. Political Ideology’ polls, most Americans are conservative at 40%. Liberals have represented a mere 20%, at most, over the last 20 years the poll has been taken.

“U.S. Political Ideology Stable With Conservatives Leading”

Conservative – 40%
Moderate – 35%
Liberal – 20%

SPAMMER:
“Not based on last year’s congressional elections and this year’s special elections, the only polls that count.”

Sure, congressional Republicans are wise to totally ignore the fact that their approval ratings are some of the lowest in history and continue to fall. Since 40% of Americans identify themselves as conservative they’ll be just fine.

Don’t waste time considering a right-wing scam artist’s interpretation of the Cain scam….listen to economists. It’s a joke.

“Even liberals know 10% is greater than 9%.”

What are you talking about? The 47 percent of Americans who file taxes but currently pay no federal income taxes would pay 9 percent on their gross income. Elimination of the payroll tax won’t help fifty percent of them because the plan abolishes the earned income tax credit, the one which Reagan Reagan praised in 1986 as “the best anti-poverty, the best pro-family, the best job creation measure to come out of Congress.”

On top of that everyone would pay a 9 percent sales tax — in addition to state and local taxes– on all purchases. No exemptions from this tax are offered up, so it appears to apply to food, medical care, rent, home and auto purchases and other expenditures that are currently exempt from state sales taxes. So the cost of living is going up 9 percent.

Its being called a monstrosity by a wide range of economists and tax experts from the left, right and middle. It sets up the infrastructure for a VAT… it could be increased down the road… money machine… regressive… doesn’t lower deficit or debt…

ABC and NRO both crunched numbers and found that the average middle class family would pay 32 percent more in taxes. That is a tax hike.

So much for Republican promises, right?

“to reduce the burden of government. Everybody wins except the free loaders”

The claim that taxes burden the economy is a myth. Before 1980 the income tax rate on the highest earners was nearly 70%. Now it’s only less than 35% and the economy grew much faster back then than it has ever since.

The reason low income earners pay no income taxes is because they make so little income. But they also pay a larger share of their income in other taxes than anybody else. Applying the term ‘freeloader to them and not to corporations who earn baziilions more dollars yet sometimes pay no taxes is a classic example that class warfare has been well underway in this country for quite awhile, and not coming from the bottom up.

NUMBERS: “The reason low income earners pay no income taxes is because they make so little income. But they also pay a larger share of their income in other taxes than anybody else.”

Not with a flat tax like 999. Look up the definition of a flat tax before you start smearing it again. What’s wrong with everyone paying their fair share of government? Stop avoiding the question.

NUMBERS: “Applying the term ‘freeloader . . .”

. . . is completely accurate for those not paying their fair share of government. A flat tax eliminates the inequity.

“It makes sense to people who know government doesn’t grow a thing but waste as they move the people’s money around”

Most Americans know better, which explains the enormous popularity of Medicare and Social Security, programs with less overhead and bureaucracy than any private alternative.

A solid majority of Americans feel corporations and the highest earners are not paying their fair share. -Thus the growing popularity of the wall street protests.

Private health insurance premiums have been steadily rising faster than Medicare costs. Medicare is more efficient and cost effective than private insurance. The numbers speak against you once again.

Remember the Republican worshiped “Laffer Curve” – at the heart of Reagan’s trickle-down economics and used again during the Bush era? Art Laffer, a member of Reagan’s Economic Policy Advisory Board and the guy who sketched the Laffer Curve fantasy, has now come out and endorsed Herman Cain’s 999 tax plan.

LOL! If this doesn’t explain the Republican fantasy world – Rich people pay less taxes while Cain says his 999 plan “may” increase taxes for the poor. But heck, they can “stretch their dollar” by buying “used goods”. Still no explanation about what “used food” means. I guess all this prosperity creates jobs in Laffer land.

And Cain is a Republican front runner.

John Herrera… You are wrong about Obama’s so-called job’s bill. I’ll bet you haven’t even read it. The republicans have submitted several jobs bills, but Harry Reid will not allow them on the floor to be voted on. If Obama would show a little bipartisanship he would get a lot further. But, since he gets up and blames everyone else for our stale economy and jobs, instead of admitting his part of the blame.
Who would want to work with someone that continually berates you and blames you for all the ills in the country, but he never admits to any blame after he has screwed up the country so much so that it is unrecognizable? He is the only president I have heard utter the words “I am the President” in anger when someone else had a difference of opinion. That is definitely not presidential. Sounds more like something a snotty nosed kindergarten child would say.
