Who was the first president to ever bring the national debt to a level obviously unpayable, to the double digits of TRILLIONS?

I am sorry but being on a wage over 100k is rich and well above average which means you can afford to pay more in taxes. Those that you describe as 3rd or 4th generation welfare scroungers are in the minority. Most people on Welfare would love the chance of a good job.

There are too many replies of “it cant be so… why blame obama” to respond to each one, but it is so. I didn’t hear this from a friend of a friend who voted republican… we were given this information by our supervisors as a “Friendly Heads-Up” before our upcoming corporate “drop the bomb” meeting.
Right now I pay a flat 18% tax on my monthly gross, for what ever reason, who ever made the call… to pay for obama’s health care bill my federal income taxes are expected to go up between 30 and 35%... not up too 35%... up BY 35% which is actually a 53% tax on our gross income. And that with my employer picking up the rising insurance premiums. If I made 50k or below I am sure the amount would be much less. No matter how you spin it, that’s what is happening to us right now.
And no my supervisor isn’t politically bias, he is not even American. He thinks obummer hung the moon.

I just wanted to say thank you to the other 50% of Americans who support and re-elected our most Nobel and Honorable Leader, Mr. Barrack Obama. Today I have officially been notified by my employer to expect a 30-38% tax increase this coming year. That brings the total amount of taxes I pay to just at 50% of my monthly income. So, I wanted to express my appreciation to you personally for your liberalism and humanitarian views of spread the wealth.
You have helped elect a fraudulent, socialist thief.. Enjoy your free health care, welfare checks, free cell phones because millions are now having to work twice as hard to keep from loosing their jobs, houses and vehicles to pay for yours!
On a closing note, I have officially removed “Old Glory”, which I have proudly flown my entire life. Call me what you will but I have served, fought and endured the loss friends and family for this country and what she stood for. What have you done? Recently I have seen the last shred of its morals and values cast aside for what? I am ashamed to be grouped in with "those" so called Americans who would allow anyone like this guy to be in office.
So again, thanks for stealing money from my family and giving it to people who are too lazy to earn it!!

The reason the OP can earn so much is because the company he works for can operate in the US because the right infrastructure is available.
