Why didn't he lead by example and pay the higher rate he wants so badly? He is a hypocrite, that's why. He isn't alone though; almost all politicians are hypocrites.
The point? If he really believed in the need and "rightness" of these higher taxes, why didn't he pay them voluntarily now? The answer is simple, he is a liar, a hypocrite and a scum bag. He could have raised his own taxes immediately with no need to wait or force a vote. He is just full of it.

At least Obama has the balls to release all his tax returns....
I pay 36% of my wages in taxes...how much did our President pay? According to this article he paid 20.5%!

The point is that he wants to force others to do something he will not voluntarily due on his own. The epitome of hypocrisy.

No, the point is not him paying more voluntarily.
Honestly...think for yourselves...how would Obama voluntarily pay more do anything?

I am sick of this garbage i hope Obama is voted out so i don't have to hear anymore about it.
Really do wish people would get the idea of what a constitutional republic is.

The truth is 50 million on welfare 25 million unemployed millions of jobs outsourced to places like China 60 million of social security 60 million on Medicare.
All that has destroyed wealth and job creation Good luck with robbing from the rich and giving to the poor that has worked out to over 120 trillion dollars that can never be paid for and a life no better than any yesterday.
The rise of China is due to that failed thinking Americans just have it so bad try living in china.
People say the evl rich are greedy but that doesn't hold a candle to liberals.edit on 13-4-2012 by neo96 because: (no reason given)
