Tax system under Obama: Same stuff, different White House
Here's the last three and half years of federal tax history, all on one page. The author seems to want to make a big deal out of what's changed, but from the middle class' perspective, there's been little to get excited about. The President said he was going to make high-income Americans pay more, but he didn't.

No surprise there. Here's what Obama's half-brother who lives in a hut in Kenya has to say (video available):
D'Souza and George Obama are seen chatting on what appears to be a park bench, and D'Souza seems most curious to know why the half-brother of the most powerful man on the planet lives in poverty and without any financial help from President Obama.
"I think he has a family of his own," George Obama says. "I'm a member of his family, but I'm over-age, so I help myself."
D'Souza presses him by using the biblical admonition—one that the president has also cited—that Americans ought to be "our brother's keeper," and George Obama shrugs off that insinuation, as well.
"He's got other issues to deal with," he says. "He's taking care of the world, so he's taking care of me."

I don't have any problem with increasing taxes, but they are spending waaaaaaay faster than they can increase taxes - No matter how much we give them.
I don't see either party looking at even slowing down spending.

Print up money -- hand it out. Let the kids and grandkids worry about it.

Kind of puts the lie to the claim that O is taxing people to death. To hear the whines from the Right taxes are just KILLING us. Yet it is the same as it was under C student Bush. And then they made the claim it was saving America. I guess just a name change is all it takes to go from Tax heaven to Tax hell
