Is defense the only government spending Obama is willing to cut? Doesn't that seem kind of crazy coming from the man who just put us right in the middle of a civil war in Libya?
He's also back to calling for tax increases on "the rich". Oh, the nasty rich. Does anyone remember a time when it was conceivable that all Americans could be rich owing to their own hard work and productivity? A time when our nation aspired to success and prosperity? Who would want to succeed in business now when the president of our country vilifies people for daring to prosper.
The notion that "the rich" aren't paying their fair share is absurd. "The rich" pay considerably more than their fair share -- the top 1% of taxpayers pay 38% of the income taxes in this country; the top 5% pay 58%, and the top 10% pay 69% of the income taxes! What more does Obama want from them? He wants everything. He wants to redistribute wealth from those who make money to those who don't.
I am nowhere near the top 10% and I don't want their money. I want an economic climate (i.e. limited and logical government oversight) where I can put myself into the top 10%. And I want that for everyone.
