Obama Two Months Ago: I’m Not Looking To Raise Taxes — Obama Yesterday: Hell Yeah I Want To Raise Taxes!…


Two months ago (7/11/11):



Yesterday:


(CBS News) — Taking a defiant tone against Republicans unwilling to raise taxes in order to close the deficit, President Obama today unveiled a $3 trillion long-term deficit reduction plan that relies heavily on raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

“This is not class warfare — it’s math,” Mr. Obama said, addressing GOP critiques of his plan head on.

“The money has to come from some place,” he continued. “If we’re not willing to ask those who have done extraordinarily well [to do a little more], the math says everybody else has to do a lot more. We have to put the entire burden on the middle class and the poor.”

The core of Mr. Obama’s deficit reduction plan is $1.5 trillion in new taxes.About $800 billion comes from repealing the Bush-era tax rates for couples making more than $250,000. The plan also closes certain corporate tax loopholes and limits certain tax deductions.

FACT CHECK: Are rich taxed less than secretaries?

Again, Buffett never said that people at higher tax brackets are taxes less than those at lower ones. He said that the ultra-rich whose income is almost entirely taxed at the 15% capital gains rate are taxed less than middle class people whose income is taxed at the 20-something percent rate.

No article you post is refuting that.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Moody's Investors Service lowered the debt ratings for Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co. and Citigroup Inc., saying it is now less likely that the U.S. government would step in and prevent the lenders from failing in a crisis.



Looks like the private sector is to blame, no? Or is it also Obama's fault when private-sector banks suck?
