Stopping the Largest Tax Hike in History

Heritage  "How could nearly half a trillion dollars in higher taxes hit the American people so fast? What hath prior Congresses wrought? Heritage’s Curtis Dubay explains that the tax hikes come from a series of expiring tax cuts and the imposition of even more new taxes. And Heritage’s J.D. Foster writes that Americans can expect to see the following tax consequences starting next year:

- Income tax rates shoot up,- The child credit is cut in half,- The marriage penalty roars back,- The capital gains tax rate goes up,- The dividend tax rate soars,- The payroll tax rate jumps two percentage points,- The death tax is restored to its punitive past,- The Alternative Minimum Tax relief expires, and- A uniquely pernicious additional payroll tax hike from Obamacare takes effect.

...."On Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced that his chamber will take up the issue before the November election. Knowing Washington’s general reluctance to do anything of substance in an election year, Boehner’s announcement was welcome news given the disastrous ramifications the threat of such a massive tax hike is already having on the economy.

Obama Keeps Recycling Failed Tax Policies  "There he goes again. It seems that President Obama just can’t help himself. He keeps pushing Congress to pass policies it has rejected in the past or has foolishly passed to little beneficial effect."

Obama's intel twofer: Undermined US national security and compromised Brit intelligence

Rick Moran "If Obama is trying to reshape his image as a warrior-president for the election, he's doing more harm than good. No doubt the Brits have been angered by the exposure of their asset who now must come in from the cold or face certain death. And less cooperation with the British - as well as the Saudis who apparently set the whole operation in motion - means that the leaks inhibit our ability to work with them, undermining our security.
"A helliuva price to pay to score points with the voters."


 Update- Legal Insurrection: Oh shut up, we’ve got a football to spike here   "These leaks, meant to tout the success of a double-agent operation, have not been leaks in the traditional sense of someone acting against the wishes of or to damage the Commander in Chief.

"Whether it was naming Navy SEAL Team 6 as the group which killed bin Laden, or releasing details of how that mission was accomplished, leaking information which presents Obama in a good light is part of the political strategy.

"You can’t properly spike a football without showing it to the crowd."  William A. Jacobson

OBAMA SPOILED ANTI-TERROR MISSION TO SPIKE FOOTBALL  "It can be baffling, that is, without this defining caveat: anything for a positive headline. This latest leak, as Scheur notes, is "inexplicable" unless one factors in "tawdry" politics. The timing of this leak screamed for coverage in the vein of "Saved by Obama, Who Also Killed bin Laden." Whether or not it would spoil an ally's intelligence program was irrelevant. The metrics used to measure the United States' safety are now the President's reelection poll numbers."
Let me know if you find one single celebrity who knows or cares about this.

Intelligence Leaking: Obama Style  "It was clear from the start that it was someone within the Obama administration who pushed for the information to be released.  
"And the reason was purely political.  Real lives and real security issues are at stake, contrasted with the illusion of security when Valerie Plame's name was released and the Left went ballistic and into meltdown mode."

After Al Qaeda bomb plot leak, someone needs to be held accountable  "But then, out comes word from the White House that “…never fear good Americans, at no point was the public in any danger.”  According to our fearless administration, the President had been kept informed of the plot since April.  

"In case you’re missing the subtlety of this revelation, the White House essentially told AQAP that we had a recruited asset in their midst who kept us informed of the plot as it developed."

 

Wait! Aren't celebrities among the "millionaires and billionaires" that Obama hates?

Betty White says she favours 1 presidential candidate in 2012 _ Obama   "The "Golden Girls" star said Friday she is very bi-partisan and has stayed away from politics her whole life. She usually never says who she is for or against because she doesn't want to turn off any of her fans.

"White says in this year's election, she likes what Obama has done and "how he represents us."

"Her comments come after Hollywood turned out at George Clooney's home to raise $15 million for Obama's re-election, a record for a single fundraiser."

While this member of the Beach Boys um, doesn't

Gay marriage victory lap: Celebs tweet love for Obama  "For his part, Savage offered up a more cautious view than most. "Gay people better get out there and support the president," he tweeted. "If he loses in November, we'll be blamed."

Obama Gets $2 Million in Donations 24 Hours After Expressing Support for Same Sex Marriage  "However, file this under “fools and their money are soon parted,” because the White House has no intention of including gay marriage in the party platform.

"Notice how it’s usually reported that Obama “personally” supports same sex marriage — as if he’s separating himself privately from the office he holds publicly. There’s his “out” (if you’ll pardon the expression) for not demanding SSM be included in the party’s official platform. 

"That financial windfall comes at a price for Team Obama though, because 23% of independents are now less likely to vote for him in November."

Bill blockbuster: O’s an ‘amateur’

NY Post  "Barack Obama,” Bill Clinton said, according to book excerpts, “is an amateur.”

"The withering criticism is incredible, given the fact that Bill Clinton is actively campaigning for Obama’s re-election.

"But according to the book, Bill Clinton unloaded on Obama and pressed Hillary to run against her boss during a gathering in the ex-president’s home office in Chappaqua last August that included longtime friends, Klein said.

" “The economy’s a mess, it’s dead flat. America has lost its Triple-A rating . . . You know better than Obama does,” Bill said.

"Bill Clinton insisted he had “no relationship” with Obama and had been consulted more frequently by his presidential successor, George W. Bush.

"Obama, Bill Clinton said, “doesn’t know how to be president” and is “incompetent.” "

....
"The book’s explosive claims were shot down last night by spokesmen for the White House and the Clintons, who closed ranks last night."
