Are you running out of "hope"? If you liked Bush 2, then you must absolutely love Obama since he is spending/doing the same as Bush only faster and more.
If you hate Bush 2, then you must absolutely despise Obama because he is Bush 2 on steroids.
They are both to blame for the current mess that the country is in as well as all of congress. Neither has taken the side of citizens over big money corporations. Have WE THE PEOPLE been bailed out? No, only the banks, Wall Street, the auto industry...
Hey Bush/Obama/congress - I'm having problems making ends meet. I keep supporting my adult children because there are no real jobs outside of fast food for them. Where's MY bailout?
The Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 are set to expire at the end of 2010. Thus, if Congress doesn’t act, the relatively low income tax rates that we’ve been enjoying (hah! enjoying?) will soon be a thing of the past. They will be replaced by the pre-2001 tax brackets.
In other words, the 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33% and 35% tax brackets that we’ve grown accustomed to will be replaced by 15%, 28%, 31%, 36%, and 39.6% brackets.

How about posting some sources then?

Here are the FACTS about income taxes for 2011. Clearly, only the wealthy earning more than around $180k are going to see an increase in taxes. Your post makes it sound as if it's everyone...that's a LIE! But keep on repeating Beck's factless rants
Here's another link going into even more detail. Most of the claims you made (coming from biased BLOGS and not legit news/government sources) are either wrong or blown out of proportion.
You won't have to pay 15% as the lowest bracket for example...they just decreased the lowest bracket $ amount by $50 (lol). So now you have to pay 15% if you earn $8376 compared to $8425 before. Yeah...drastic changes, let's start a revolution
It's pretty clear that if you look at the actual figures instead of just repeating whatever biased bloggers type, you'll see that really only the top earners will have to pay more.

WOW, JUST WOW!!!
This is not going to effect ANYONE BUT THE VERY WEALTHY who have had ENOUGH luxury and BREAKS from the last 8 years!!!!
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS FOLKS!!!
The OP is spewing 100% FEAR that is 100% untrue. Its the USUAL textbook norm for diehard spoiled Republican wealthy class of moraless, uncompassionate self-centered folk who care NOTHING of our country, and ONLY care for their EXCESSIVELY FAT wallets.
I dont have time right now to HUMILIATE the OP's nonsense, but please folks, DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THIS. The OP is spewing NONSENSE here!!
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
Change it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fall that's all
But the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

And what do you think forced him to make that $1.4bil spending??? 8 years under Bush who allowed Wall Street companies to do pretty much whatever they wanted with his deregulation.

What the hell is wrong with some of you people? You would rather jump in and just rant based on virtually nothing but rumors...like you're just waiting for any excuse...than to discuss and debate and find out the facts first?
I mean, come on, first determine if there's even anything here to rant about. Otherwise you be looking pretty dim. If you want to just rant, go to the rant forum, okay?
