Shedding light on Obama's "plan"
Posted: Nov 28, 2012
Never thought of this in the long term, but I can see the strategy. Anything to keep in power: "Forget that any tax increase is bad economic policy (especially in this economy), it's also a trap. The damage the passing of this tax increase would do to Republicans with their base is the primary motivation behind what Obama and the media are up to. Raising tax rates would almost certainly suppress Republican turnout in the 2014 midterms. As a result, Democrats would make gains and possibly even win the House back." ;
Sounds like a big assumption by somebody. - RC
[ In Reply To ..]But, who?
I would think that if republicans had their taxes raised, it would be even more incentive for them to get to the poll and vote republican.
Yes, please explain why raising taxes would suppress - the Republican (only) vote. New idea to me. nm

Maybe because they pledged to not raise taxes at all - cory
[ In Reply To ..]and the voters took them at their word?
Still don't understand how this would suppress GOP vote. - But okay. Whatever. nm

I can definitely see the ulterior motives at work - sm
[ In Reply To ..]by both the left and the media. They're out to destroy any opposition. At least it looks that way to me.
He openly campaigned on raising taxes - and was re-elected.
[ In Reply To ..]Guess that means 64,988,377 American voters are all in on this conspiracy. Breitbart and his babblers need to get over themselves on this.
And he's STILL campaigning! - Dara
[ In Reply To ..]He needs to get over himself.
I don't see the problem - grits
[ In Reply To ..]It's like still having date night with your spouse after you get married; keeps things fresh. It reminds us why we voted for him, and at least gives the appearance that he's trying to keep the promises he made.
President Obama is making good on his promise. And no, he's not - "getting over" himself. :) nm

Naw, not in the conspiracy, just can't see - through the fog.

Not all of us can be as wise as those who voted in Reagan, Bush & Bush - An era of electoral greatness and economic
[ In Reply To ..]devastation and national decline.
If there are any Doubting Thomases - lmn
[ In Reply To ..]Check back in 2014 and we'll see if this is right.
pulease - build a bridge - Democrats RULE
[ In Reply To ..]Are you making excuses already for the *** whooping that the Republicans will receive in 2014?
The MAJORITY of Americans voted to keep President Obama in office - knowing he wants to raise taxes on the richest in the country.
Dems won. Get over it. Or you could continue being divisive, which is what the Republicans tried AND FAILED to do a few weeks ago.
Actually, both parties rule, dems just more right now, - right? We have to work with the House. nm

It makes you stop and think how many times over the years this style of termination/reduction has been put in place by all other Presidents.

Guess somebody's pretty upset over it. Too bad. I hope the Supreme Court also upholds it, but I'm tired of Obama trying to change laws.
