Many of those constituting the 52% percent that put Obama in office are surprised by the bad judgment of their Messiah who promised to make America a better place, provide everyone with free health care, free college education and their very own home. In short, there was going to be a "free lunch" for one and all. He has taxed, borrowed, quadrupled the deficit and is trying to throw out our proven health care system and replace it with a government run bureaucratic colossus. He is pressing hard to put everything into law at once before the public gets wise to the details of the plan. He seems oblivious to basic economics tenets and historical facts regarding the raising of taxes and the deficit. According to his actions, he is hell bent upon taking precisely the wrong action to get us out of the recession. Putting money in the hands of Americans and businesses means more dollars invested in buying products, expanding business, and hiring workers. Taxing anything causes less of it. Can the Democrats be this stupid and hypocritical? They raise taxes on tobacco to discourage smoking yet cannot understand that raising income taxes causes less consumer and business spending which helps the economy. If Obama and the Democrats wish to destroy the American free market economy, they are on the right path.
