TAX POLICY CENTER
Urban Institute & Brookings Institution
According to the tax experts at these institutes, the US Government collected a total of 2.2 trillion dollars in 2010, from all sources. This makes Obama’s claim that Romney will try to cut taxes by 5 trillion somewhat suspect. If the total intake was 2.2 trillion, including federal taxes, how in the name of whoever is Romney going to cut twice that amount and still operate the government? Answer, he can’t. This is just another bit of disinformation put out by the Obama administration to make Romney look bad. No President could reasonably expect to cut even 1 trillion in taxes, since to do so, he or she would have to eliminate all federal income and social security taxes. Not likely, even under the most conservative scenarios. So once again Obama and his minions lie to make it look like the bad old Republicans are going to starve the babies, kill grandma, and poison all the air and water; meantime giving millions to their rich friends. In truth, they couldn't do so even if they tried. The mechanics of the economy would not permit such draconian measures. Yes, Romney can reduce the tax burden on the richest 1%. He can reduce the tax burden on business to stimulate the economy and promote hiring. Yes he can make the bottom 47% or so that don’t pay any tax, pick up their fair share. But cut 5 trillion from the government tax intake? It ain’t gonna happen. No way, no how. The numbers just don’t exist. Maybe he could manage 5 trillion over a four year term, but even that would require unbelievable cuts across the board in government spending; like 95-99%. It just can’t be done.
Obama came off looking like the amateur he is in the great debate. It wasn't because he was detached or distracted. It was because he is arrogant and dismissive. He came in with the idea that it was a waste of time for him to explain his dismal record of the last four years. He can’t explain it so why bother. He failed to look Romney in the eye because he is a dishonest, corrupt liar and can’t face the truth. He will probably come out swinging in the next debate. But, don’t look for any substance or policy statements. He will attack Romney’s integrity and policy. He will hint at how Romney really hates people of color and wants to send them back to slavery. He will not discuss issues or plans for the future as to do so would reveal his Marxist intentions. He will indulge in character assassination, not honest open debate on issues. His massive ego will not allow any questions about his failed policies and corrupt style of cronyism. He is a Chicago political thug and he can’t defend his last four years, so, he must attack Romney and distract the voters from the questions and issues that are really important.
No matter how the Democratic strategy team tries, they cannot make a purse out of a sow’s ear. Obama fooled the people last election because he was an unknown. He won’t do so again. The only people who will support him are welfare drones, far left wing socialists/Marxists and people who vote skin color over character. Anyone with an IQ over 25 will see him for what he is, a total dismal failure who does not deserve our respect or support. We must send him and his administration to the trash heap of history where they belong.
