Middle Class Tax Increase

March 2, 2009 | Jim Vicevich | |

Newt Gingrich nailed it Friday when he showed how the Obama budget will eventually lay a hefty tax increase in rising energy costs on all Americans.

Yesterday on Face The Nation Bob Schieffer puts the question to Rohm Emmanuel who does a nice job of evading the question, instead talking about the $7.69 a week income transfer to lower in come folks. That is to say, Gingrich is correct.

    Newt nailed it.  Rohm is a smarmy jerk the way he's mincing words.  No one will get a tax increase in less they live in the United States and have a job.

    Gary!  You beat me to "smarmy!"  Raum is everything they ever accused Rove of being.   And at least Rove didn't make you want to shower after hearing him.

    This shows your superiority to me, because I haven't a dang clue what Rahm just said.

      Shadow, I never said I understood it, I just understand what he is trying to do: Obamian Obfuscation.

    It sickens me to think that this weasel with dual-citizenship gets to whisper in our President's ear every day. How can anyone endorse a person who says that "you never want a serious crisis to go to waste"?  Perhaps that is why Obama and his administration suggest that only they (gov't) can help us, thereby perpetuating the "crisis".

      I worry more about the ones we don't see: Bill Ayers and the ghost of Saul Alinsky.  Not to mention the "reverend" Wright….
