> [@Eazy716](#): > > :blah:raising taxes on the “wealthy” which apparently in Obamas eyes is $42k a year and above. I dont know what world you or he lives in, but this day in age, 42k is not very much considering cost of living. NO…that was a flat out lie. From the very beginning Obama said that 250k makes you upper class not 42k. That shit was rumored out there to scare people like you. ---

McCain way overspun it, but it is true that Obama voted to raise taxes on single taxpayers making 42k. [http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?action=printpage;topic=80556.0](http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?action=printpage;topic=80556.0) > A TV spot claims Obama once voted for a tax increase “on people making just $42,000 a year.” That’s true for a single taxpayer, who would have seen a tax increase of $15 for the year – if the measure had been enacted. But the ad shows a woman with two children, and as a single mother, she would not have been affected unless she made more than $62,150. The increase that Obama once supported as part of a Democratic budget bill is not part of his current tax plan anyway. ---

Speaking of “fee here, fee there”, I got my insurance renewal and notice it went up $10 for this 6 month cycle. So I start looking at the detail and sure enough: **“New York Law Enforcement Fee - $10”** Fuck you NY. ---

If they would have ran the country how Clinton was running the country, we would have been in the green by 2011. Now we have a debt that they are going to have to invent new numbers for. ---

I dont like Bush or clinton. truth is that Clintons surplus was smoke and mirrors. If you factor out the money “borrowed” from social security and unbudgeted money, there wasn’t a surplus. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/buffalo-makes-national-news-again/53629.md?page=2)
