Now I have thought about this for a while, Obama keeps saying how he is going to cut taxes for the lower incomes, how many of us lower incomes get all our fed taxes back and a little more depending on how many children? So what is his tax cut? He says he is going to raise taxes on the richer workers, so who has been paying the taxes if we get all ours and some back if not the rich? And he is going to do this because it is not fair that the rich who worked to get what they have have it and the lower incomes don't.

 Now my question is, if the higher incomes are the ones who do not get their federal taxes all back and in some cases owe more just where the heck does he think all that pork he wasted came from?

He also wants to add a tax on profits, give this some thought, if taxes go up on companies who make a profit who do you think will pay for it? If two companies came back to the U.S. because of tax breaks offered by states then if more taxes are added to them where will they go?

Then we have the double social security tax, now if congress is spending the social security taxes they get now and not on social security what will they do with more?In fiscal year 2008, Congress stuffed 11,610 projects (the second highest total ever) into the 12 appropriations bills worth $17.2 billion. Pork is where it will go.

$7,556,660 for grape and wine research.  Wine is a popular beverage.  In fact, in 2006, per capita U.S. wine consumption was 2.39 gallons while the U.S. exported 404.5 million liters of wine.  Total wine sales in 2006 were $27.8 billion.  There is no pressing need for taxpayers to pay for this research.

$4,800,000 by Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) for the Jamaica Bay Unit of the Gateway National Recreation Area.  The Gateway National Recreation Area’s website describes the Jamaica Bay Unit as “a wealth of history, nature and recreation, from New York City's first major airport and coastal fortifications to a wildlife refuge and pristine beaches.”  A nice place to swim away with defense dollars.

Just a few examples of where those added taxes will go and are going. Now why not get a grip on the waste in congress and stop robbing the rich to give to the congress because it is not going to the general Americans who pay the taxes.

Then we come to universal health care, if medicare cost $300. billion a year and we add the rest of the U.S. on it will end up in the trillions, where will the money come from? Are we asking the right questions? To be honest the oil companies do not make a trillion in profit so where will the money come from? Think people. And now that line item veto is gone all the pork will stay on so watch what will happen with your taxes.

Can any one say give to congress and rip off the Americans? That is what will happen.
