Obama Demands Tax Hikes - Today's Washington Post reports that Barack Obama is threatening to veto legislation preventing Taxmageddon unless congressional Republicans agree to even more tax hikes.
In our recent special report on Obamacare, we noted how Barack Obama has broken his promise not to raises taxes on the middle class. The Supreme Court declared that Obamacare was legal only because it was a tax. Five new Obamacare tax increases take effect next year. And Obama is just getting started.
This is important, folks, because it is more proof of Obama's tax-and-spend socialism, and one more example of how Obama has repeatedly misled the American people. During Tuesday's debate, Obama blamed Republicans, saying, "Governor Romney's allies in Congress have held the [middle class] hostage because they want tax breaks for the top 2 percent."
According to the Washington Post it's Barack Obama who is holding the middle class hostage with his veto threat! Obama would rather see taxes go up on middle class families than allow small business owners and entrepreneurs to keep and invest their own money.
What Taxmageddon Means To You - On January 1, 2013, Taxmageddon -- the expiration of the Bush tax cuts -- hits America. According to a study from the Tax Policy Center, nearly 90% of households will see their taxes go up. Here's what it means to you:
- Families will be hit hard as the per child tax credit is slashed from $1,000 to $500.
- The average middle class family "will see an almost $2,000 tax hike."
- Even low-income earners will pay more as the 10% tax rate goes up to 15%.
- More than $500 billion will be sucked out of the economy by higher taxes next year, likely triggering another recession.
Obama Spends $1 Trillion On Welfare - What exactly is Barack Obama going to do with more of your money? Pay down the debt? No. Under Obama annual deficits have doubled and the national debt has increased 50%.
Today brought the startling news that government spending on welfare programs has increased 32% since Obama was elected, and for the first time ever topped $1 trillion in a single year. That figure does not include spending on Social Security or Medicare.
My friends, it wasn't that long ago -- 1987 -- when $1 trillion funded the entire federal government. Today, $1 trillion barely pays for Obama's welfare spending.
Benghazi-gate Won't Go Away - Barack Obama's attempts to deny the facts about the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, won't make the controversy go away. Hours before Tuesday's presidential debate, Reuters published a report that undermines claims by Obama and Biden that they were unaware of the security situation in Libya. Consider this excerpt:
"So brazen was the Islamist presence in the Benghazi area that militants convened what they billed as the 'First Annual Conference of Supporters of Shariah (Islamic law)' in the city in early June, promoting the event on Islamist websites. … A research report prepared for a Pentagon counter-terrorism unit in August said the Benghazi conference brought together representatives of at least 15 Islamist militias. Among the paper's conclusions: these groups 'probably make up the bulk of al Qaeda's network in Libya.'"
Radical Islam Still A Threat - A 21 year-old Bangladeshi man was arrested yesterday after he attempted to bomb the Federal Reserve building in Manhattan. He came to the U.S. in January on a student visa.
Does this mean we have a "Bangladeshi problem"? Of course not. The young man is a devoted follower of Osama bin Laden and a radical Islamist. Bin Laden may be dead, but the threat from radical Islam is still very alive.
