Obama hedging for higher taxes already
I will personally congratulate myself for seeing this about 1.5 years ago. Here’s a bit of groundwork for our inevitable tax hikes.
Oh shit, you mean we can’t just keep spending like this without bringing in money? WTF, I thought that would go off without a hitch. Just kidding, the President knew this was coming for as long as I did.
This is the classic hedge. So, after promising a tax cut for 95% of citizens, here come the inevitable tax increases. Don’t believe me? Just frigging wait it out. He won’t get tagged for this dishonesty, as the MSM loves everything he does, and his election was historic (Yes, I’m referencing exactly what you think I am.)
Since I understand a bit of Obama math from previous numerical snafus from the Fearministration, lets see if I can nail this one on the head. Obama will cut taxes, or claim he already did (Making Work Pay was a $400 tax cut of sorts), but then jack them up, all the while papering over the net increase. Its quite similar to the cut $18B, but ask for $85B in spending, followed by the requisite crowing over being such a budget slasher.
Its like playing chess with the chess dragon. Even if you win, he eats you, so you lose. Knowing exactly what Obama is gonna do still results in higher taxes and I lose.
