Read His Lips, A Change You Can Believe In
Barack Obama made a lot of promises during the campaign, not the least of which being that if elected, he intended to put it to the evil rich in America. The liberal socialist democrat battle cry of its new found leader became elect me? And I will punish the bastards! Elect me? And I will provide you with more milk and honey than you could ever imagine. And the best part? Not one dime of your money will ever be touched in the process and you won't be taxed to pay for any of it!
Better jobs, more affordable homes and free health care! It will all be laid at your feet and I will accomplish it all? By simply turning the screws on those evil rich folks. those who refuse to share and those who prevent life from being more fair.
And if you make less than $250,000 a year? Never fear! You will be getting a tax break! 95% of Americans will be getting a tax break! Even that 38% that pays no taxes and is already subsidized from cradle to grave with OPM (other people's money.)
Those were the promises. Does anyone remember? Does anyone remember the pleas of the woman to Obama on the campaign trail about her house and her job and his assurances that he would take care of it all for her? Just as soon as he became president. Anyone else remember looking into the faces of those who were interviewed by the media last fall? The 'Obamatrons' for lack of a better description, those that honestly believed that as soon as Obama was elected? All of their wants and needs would be taken care of by the new pope of change and the socialist messiah of mana from other people's heaven?
I remember them. I remember looking into their eyes and seeing the duped daze of the ill informed and uneducated and patently stupid. And I remember thinking....."these people actually believe that this guy can walk on water and that he will pull some stunt with the federal treasury? That makes Jesus' sermon on the mount and the loaves and fishes look like a parlor trick.
But I knew what I was looking at and listening to, as did many other Americans who were being belittled and shouted down as divisive if not openly racist for opposing the messeanic one. And now the reality is beginning to settle in for the dupes and the something for nothing crowd. Or is it nothing more complicated than the chickens have finally come home to roost as it were.
Once all the lies and the deceit and the bluster and the bluff of the man and his party have been pared away, the stark reality is that this junior senator from Illinois and the political party of socialist lies and angst, has once again pulled the wool completely over the eyes of a nation.
Don't get me wrong....he fully intends to punish the rich in this country (otherwise known as the producers), but to reach his desired goals of power and control over all of the people, he must also purge the little people with the fire of stealth taxation. Obama and those who know him for what he really represents, knew all too well, that the math of his proposals and policies simply didn't add up. There was no way that he could do what he bragged of being capable of doing, by only targeting the supposed evil rich and taking what they had. There simply wasn't/isn't enough money in their bank accounts. The real money is in the collective taxation of all of life.
So he did what all good practitioners of the Marxist theory do, he changed the parameters of the game after he was elected. He moved the goal post and redefined the rules and the definitions of policy in mid play. And the people are only now beginning to see the results.
His first maneuver was to dramatically increase the federal tax on cigarettes and tobacco. He promised the poor and disadvantaged that he would never raise taxes on them remember? But he went right after them as a class and as those comprising the majoring of smokers and tobacco users. But it was for a good cause, he was only looking for funding of children's health care.
And as a result, he has led tens of thousands of smokers to the title of 'former smokers." These people have finally seen the light and done for the sake of their pocketbooks, what they refused to do for their health. They simply quit the habit. Which in reality is a good thing, but it still fails to solve the original problem Obama's intended tax increase was supposed to address.
You See....when the golden goose (in this case tobacco) is taxed and strangled by regulation too much? It simply ceases to function and it ceases to produce at the desired and anticipated levels of dreamed of taxation. The goose dies.
The golden goose premise of liberal taxation suddenly becomes the dead duck reality of more failed socialist policy. And the new mad rush by the lost souls of liberal socialism, is to attempt to find another source of 'funding' for their dream works. Yes funding....that is the key buzz word for taxation and the taking it away and outright theft from the producers. And as always, it is done in reality to line the pockets of the elite and their vote buying schemes. They simply have to find a new and improved way of funding (taxing) something? And all the good little blind mice will continue to follow the Pied Piper.
Meanwhile, the stark reality remains the same. Nothing in life is free. Someone always ends up paying for the free lunch and Obama's health care proposals are no different. Having already lost the battle of taxation on cigarettes and tobacco? Hr and his merry band of take it from the rich socialist are now setting their sights on alcohol and even better yet? Those demon inspired sugary sodas!
That's right folks, the obama team of read my lips, no new taxes? Well they are coming after you! All of you! Each and everyone of you! But have no fear, it's all in your better interest and it will ultimately be for your benefit and the betterment of the collective. And besides, the money will be spent wisely, as it always is by Washington and those who live in the real forests of Nottingham (AKA Washington).
Have a read for yourself.
Smokers, drinkers to carry tax burden?
See how the great leader of change is really going to finance his rabbits and hat tricks. See who is really going to pay for it all. Then just remember and take comfort in the knowledge that you are safe. It's only the evil rich who have need of fear and they deserve to live in fear. Right? As they are both evil and rich.
But that is soon to be changed, as the Obama messiah is the new king of robbing the hood.

Oh yeah! And the news reports this morning indicate they are going to go after chips too. This is one voting blog this moron doesn't want to piss off. Two thirds of Americans are obese and they got that way eating chips and drinking sodas.
So if he is bucking to be impeached? Let him continue with this latest lunacy.
I wonder? If half of these morons who voted for this idiot? Even know what a stealth tax is.
The news this morning, is that Swartzenegger is preparing to auction off half of California for about 1 billion to try and offset a 21 billion deficit.
When will these people learn that it is the entitlements that have to be eliminated before we can regain control of our economy.
He can kiss my ass!
