In his “victory” speech (I’m watching now), Barack just said something to the effect of, “I’m going to get rid of the tax cuts for the rich. The tax cuts they didn’t even ask for.”
Well Barack, consider this my application and official request for a tax cut (and I’m most certainly not rich). Here and now, as a member of whatever tax bracket I currently fall into, I ask you for my tax break. If it’s just that simple, can I ask for two?..
This is ridiculous. Of course the entire nation asked for tax relief - they elected and re-elected a president who promised to lower the tax burden!
As so often happens after I finish watching a Barack Obama speech, I am left asking myself, “What did he even mean?”
Hope is great - I hope Barack Obama adds a little substance to his candidacy…
