Classic Obama double-speak

[petegz28]

Obama said the top priority in solving the country's fiscal crisis "must be jobs and growth."

White House press secretary Jay Carney said the president would bring to the table a proposal for $1.6 trillion in new taxes on business and the wealthy when he begins discussions with congressional Republicans, a figure that Obama outlined in his most recent budget plan. The targeted revenue is twice the amount Obama discussed with Republican leaders during debt talks during the summer of 2011.

Ok, you can't say on one hand your #1 priority is "jobs and growth" and on the other hand talk about raising taxes on business.

For the economically challenged, raising taxes on businesses raises the cost of doing business which does not spur job creation nor growth of the economy.

I swear listening to this Admin and his party makes me feel like I took a handfull of crazy pills sometimes.

He said he would raise taxes on the rich at every speech during the campaign. Now he says he's going to do just that. A politician that does what they say they would do is shocking, I agree.

This reminds me of when Obama was first elected and he was talking about his plans to help spur job creation. One of the ideas was to make it easier for business owners to borrow to buy no equipment.

That's a great idea and all but if less and less people are walking through your door, all the new equipment in the world isn't going to make you more profitable regardless of how cheap it is to borrow.


They simply don't get it when it comes to economics and finance.

I said nothing about raising taxes on the rich, I said BUSINESS! You know, those things that create jobs? Do you not understand that? Has your liberal math failed you so badly that the concept of higher cost of business leads to less job creation?

The problem is Obama and the Democrats, along with most of DC for that matter, don't understand what it means to grow tax revenues. So they come up with stupid ideas like making it more costly to do business in hopes that somehow that will create jobs later while DC lines its pockets now.

And I'll be there every step of the way, twisting the knife.

You bumped an old thread to insult a poster not talk about the subject.

He is doing what he said he would. The people voted and he is following through with it.

Cutting taxes for the job creators hasnt worked and we need to actually fix this mess.

I am not for raising taxes on anyone, normally, but this isnt normal. It HAS to be fixed and SOON!

libs are more concerned about how you feel, rather than their own feelings.
you know, tolerant as long as you agree...cry about conservatives and their 'social' issues, then turn around and push social issues.
