Calling A Tax Increase A Tax Increase

A message to all members of Patriotic Resistance

Tea Party candidates were once again victorious
last Tuesday. Now another key "vote" looms for all
citizen-patriots.

President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are about to
win the tax increase debate - just weeks before Americans
go to the polls.

They are using class envy politics to craft a major tax
increase as a tax cut. And now it looks like some in the
G.O.P. may be ready to hand Obama and the Democrats a
winning issue on the eve of the elections.

+ + The Obama Tax Increase...

Back in 2003 when Congress passed tax cuts during an
economic recession, Bush and Congress agreed to allow
those tax cuts to "sunset" or expire at the end of 2010.

[in order to get around a Donk filibuster through reconciliation]

Because those tax rate reductions are set to expire,
technically Congress must once again pass tax "cuts"
just to avoid a massive tax increase. This is allowing
Obama to play the Left’s class envy card by excluding
the top tax brackets from the cuts.

Meanwhile, Obama is pushing yet another
deficit-ridden "stimulus". Instead of
cutting or even slowing down government
spending, Obama wants to expand government
AND increase taxes -- while winning points
in an election year as a middle class tax
cutter!

+ + Will the Tea Party accept the Obama Tax Increase?

Once again this past week, Tea Party-supported candidates won
primary victories that shocked the political establishment.
Clearly, a move is under way at the grassroots. But with
this key vote on the Obama Tax Increase coming, political
pundits are openly asking: Will Tea Party activists accept
the Obama class-envy tax increase?

This may be the most important political
question leading up to the November elections.
If there is no outcry from the grassroots
against the latest Obama big government tax
increase before the elections, why should
any politician respect citizens after
election day?

Obama and the Left are convinced that they can use class

when economists are saying such an increase would further
damage our weakened economy.

JASmius adds: "Some in the GOP" does not include the next House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor, who doesn't appear to leave any room for those "somes," whoever they are:

As the failed stimulus illustrates, a government redistributing hundreds of billions of dollars—much of it to achieve social and political goals—is far worse at allocating capital and creating jobs than private industry. This year’s battle over taxes is thus a fight to allow businesses, taxpayers and private industry to keep more of their money so that they can provide real stimulus and lasting growth to the economy.

Yet it would be a mistake to view this tax increase in isolation. It must be seen in tandem with passage of the new health-care entitlement (enacted at a time when we should be exploring how to preserve and strengthen our current entitlement programs), the stimulus, and the 2,000-plus page labyrinth of new financial regulations. The reality is that this tax hike is just one more step along the way to creating an anticompetitive new norm in this country marked by bigger government, less growth and structurally higher taxes and unemployment.

The strategy to achieve the progressive left’s endgame is simple. First comes the provocative class warfare rhetoric. Second comes the vast assumption of government control over the economy. Third comes the growth of government spending and entitlements. And alas, higher taxes on our nation’s job creators and workers.

The only way out of this economic morass is through innovation, entrepreneurship and economic freedom. President Obama’s impending tax increase is not just a hike on a few “millionaires and billionaires,” as the White House tries to frame it. Roughly half of all small business income in America will face a higher rate, making this tax increase a direct assault on job creation and innovation. Coming from an administration heavy on officials with no business experience, this is a clear signal that the White House is determined to continue to spend recklessly and expand the entitlement net.

That’s why we’re not backing down.

Heritage previews the damage.

Red Barry will ensure the biggest tax increase in American history and a depressionary collapse next year, with his veto pen, if necessary. And all Americans are going to know it before they go to the polls in six short weeks.
