I had admired and liked Obama way before he became president.
However, I understand and have always understood, it's not the person, rather the system which is the problem.
So I have never gotten behind Obama the president because I know he entered into a lose lose situation and would never be allowed to become a successful president. I doubt any candidate will ever become that.....which is why I never vote as It's a complete waste of time.
The only reason you don't vote is because you don't know how to spell "X".
No, no...that's of course not true. Just a vague, nominal talking point in leftist circles without giving it too much thought.
They just raised taxes on upper earners. But even besides that, taxes at 35% today are higher than the 90% tax rate from years past. Nobody paid those taxes with the kind of loopholes and deductions that were available. The IRS/Govt wasn't nearly as efficient in cracking down on those who didn't pay taxes at all (which was a good thing). Currently, govt is collecting the highest amount of revenues it ever has.
That is quite amazing. A 35% tax rate is higher than a 90% tax rate because tax evasion is more difficult now.
