President Obama “bullies” Congress over George Bush’s tax cuts

By Oscar Y. Harward 

When Barack Obama took the “oath of office” as US President, our National Debt was $10.6 trillion.  Today it is nearing $16.3 trillion.  President Obama has increased our National Debt some $6 trillion; more than 50% more in 4 years than all of the previous 43 Presidents combined in more than 236 years.  Now, America is facing an Obama looming “fiscal cliff”. 

During these last 4 years, President Obama has “bullied” his Socialism of inducing Capitol Hill Republicans to spend more on “stimulus” and other programs.  President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats have “wasted” $787 billion of taxpayers’ money while creating very few jobs.  Most of the $787 billion ended up in the pockets of Labor Unions and campaign donors of President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats. 

As we close year 2012, President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats are demanding George Bush’s tax cuts be eliminated to individuals making over $250,000 annually; President Obama’s translation is “tax the rich”. 

Higher income workers usually work harder, longer hours, and smarter in an effort to earn more, keep more comforts for their families, and create even more jobs for others.  Many lower income workers are unwilling to work harder or work longer hours.  Some individuals are unwilling to work at all. 

Americans are always willing to provide necessities for those who are unable to help themselves.  The problems arrive as those who are willing to work harder, longer hours, and smarter in an effort to earn more comforts for themselves and their families are now being commanded by President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats to be taxed at a higher rate; only for government to give it to individuals who are unwilling to better themselves. 

By taxing higher income individuals and demanding more of their hard-earned income, only to give it to individuals who are unwilling to better themselves is “creating emptiness” for the hard working individuals’ efforts in creating new jobs and expanding more jobs. 

President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats must extend George Bush’s tax cuts to “all individuals” including those making over $250,000 annually.  These individuals are the “job creators” in the private sector.  Those without financial resources are unable to create jobs. 

President Obama, stop “bullying” the Republicans and allow “all Americans” to continue the George Bush tax cuts.  While President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats will try to shift their “failures” onto Republicans, President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats are directly responsible for our “fiscal cliff” failures.
