House Dems Consider New "Surtax"

By Philip Klein on 7.7.09 @ 11:43AM

Struggling to find ways to pay for health care legislation, Democrats are now considering creating a new surtax on Americans earning over $250,000, Bloomberg reports. The surtax would be on top of the tax hike that is already anticipated at this income level in 2011 when the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire, and would hit small business owners who declare business income on their personal tax returns. Sounds like a great policy to pursue as the unemployment rate races toward the double digits.

Obama and Democrats are [and will] raise taxes anyway possible in order to pay for their welfare-stimulas bill, their proposed welfare-healthcare bill, and their proposed cap-and-trade electricity-tax bill--------it's called 'socialism', folks!!!!

This is a communist revolution attempt.

Where do we find these morons??? There should be a law that laywers and failed comics should be disqualified from holding public office!

Apparently they don't think that the rule of holes does hot apply to them!
VOTE THEM OUT!!!

Obama's Miranda Madness

Less than an hour into the interrogation of the Christmas Day "underwear bomber," the U.S. Justice Department instructed FBI agents to advise Abdulmutallab — an al Qaeda operative from Nigeria — of his Miranda rights. Shockingly, interviews since have yielded "no actionable intelligence."

Stop plea bargaining with terrorists!
