From the Voter Beware Files...
All those proud Obama voters, here's a few hard knocks from reality for you...Here's a significant new tax on the middle class despite The One's great promises that there would be no new tax...Joe Wilson was right - Obama is a liar.
(AP)The Obama administration has privately concluded that a cap and trade law would cost American taxpayers up to $200 billion a year, the equivalent of hiking personal income taxes by about 15 percent.
A previously unreleased analysis prepared by the U.S. Department of Treasury says the total in new taxes would be between $100 billion to $200 billion a year. At the upper end of the administration's estimate, the cost per American household would be an extra $1,761 a year.
Bend over and take it, boys and girls.
Oh, and speaking of huge new taxes under Mr. No New Taxes Obama, here's what a Democratic Senator has to say about Obamacare:
Senator Jay Rockefeller said of the Baucus Bill, "...[This] means that virtually every single coal miner is going to have a big, big tax put on them because the tax will be put on the company and the company will immediately pass it down and lower benefits because they are self insured, most of them, because they are larger. They will pass it down, lower benefits, and probably this will mean higher premiums for coal miners who are getting very good health care benefits for a very good reason. That is, like steelworkers and others, they are doing about the most dangerous job that can be done in America."
"So that’s not really a smart idea," Rockefeller continued. "In fact, it’s a very dangerous idea, and I’m not even sure the coal miners in West Virginia are aware that this is what is waiting if this bill passes."
So, Obama and the answer for most Democrats seems to be tax, tax, and tax again, all in a year where they promised no new taxes and have been spending money like Paris Hilton on Rodeo Drive.
But, don't forget, protesting these taxes and failed programs in waiting is racist. Don't be racist, just blindly bend over and take it.
