Obama on Taxes
admin / Category: PoliticsI’m one of those voters who doesn’t like to vote down party lines. I like to read where politicians stand and vote for the one that best suits my ideals and morals. I have already started doing my research, and even though I know who I am leaning towards, I still research because I want to know fully who I’m voting for, or against. I was doing research on the cadidates and their standpoint on taxes. Obama’s policy I find unfair, and even troubling. His policy is to raise the taxes on the wealthy back up to the pre-Bush days, and give more breaks to the middle class, and even more to the poor. What I don’t understand is, why are we punishing those who work hard, and try to make their lives better? Why are we punishing them for following the American dream, and being successful at it? By raising the taxes, on the wealthy, you are punishing the successful, and preventing others from wanting to be successful. Imagine being taxed 39% of your total income? That would prevent me from working harder and trying to earn more money. How about you?
That’s it for today, but I’ll blog about this later on in the week.
