From http://2conservativewomen.blogspot.com/2009"For too long we've seen taxes used as a wedge to scare people into supporting policies that actually increase the burden on working people instead of helping them live their dreams. That has to change, and that's the work that we've begun. We've passed tax cuts that will help our economy grow. We've made a clear promise that families that earn less than $250,000 a year will not see their taxes increase by a single dime. We're giving tax relief to the Americans who need it and the workers who have earned it. So, on this April 15th, we're reminded of the enormous responsibility that comes with handling people's tax dollars and we're renewing our commitment to a simpler tax code that rewards work and the pursuit of the American dream." --The ObamaPrompter via The Patriot Post, 17 April 2009
In the opinion of Soap Box Ravings this is about as close to truth as the promises made by all concerned last year when our governmental representatives, as well as those running for office, were running scared from the "drill here, drill now crowd." When I see this country building new oil refineries and opening up oil fields off our coasts for the drilling of oil, perhaps then I may believe when the teleprompter speaks. Until then, as I see it, what POTUS says and what he does are never the same. The recent tobacco taxes applied to smokers with an income below $250,000 annually and so will the increased costs of his Cap and Trade program. Remember, if the federal government took all the monies taxpayers made over over $250,000 annually they could not cover what is being spent.
