Obama is a failure and a Third Term of Bush. Continued tax gifts for Millionaires as USA slides into the abyss?

Question

In the Contract with America in 1994, the Republicans swept into Congress and slashed taxes to the lowest they have ever been. This spurred the greatest peacetime economic expansion in US History and was on the way to leading to record surpluses in the US Treasury. America was on its way to being the world's sole superpower with a bright future.

Then enter Bush. Bush takes already low taxation and pushes it to a level that CANNOT SUSTAIN BASIC GOVERNMENT FUNCTION. Now they are saying the Bush era tax cuts go on to 2012. So Obama is not really a President, he is just a space taker. We are in the Third Term of Bush. Still held in the grips of the Ultra Right Wing Coup of 2000.

The United States will fail, if SOMEONE doesn't man up and pay taxes. Social Security will fail, Medicare will fail, Infastructure will collapse, and the US will slide away into the abyss of history as a curiosity.

When will the United States vote in a real leader who will actually lead and not give away the US Treasury to richest 2% who now own 75% of all the wealth on the planet?

Answer 1

The Tea Party movement was hijacked by the Republicans, the Republicans just want to give money to the rich, the democrats are busy trying to bloat the government and "censure" Rangle ... Congress is a joke. At some point we need to trim the government AND pay our bills through reasonable taxation. Obama is going to roll over and sell out the country to the Republicans and the rich. Sad

Answer 2

You are missing the Point the Far Left is Obama, Clinton and Carter and the Far Right, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 all have one thing in common Ignoring the middle Class every president in my lifetime which I mentioned I refuse to look back except they preach about Health Care, Clean Energy Tax cuts but nothing for the middle Class Nothing, so In the Future maybe look at the Democrats are the Far Left and the Republicans as the Far Right Working Class Hero running for President Nope to your point they are all talk and no Action.



Wall Street they will help Main Street they don't care that's Washington for you

Answer 3

I don't see healthcare reform as a third term of Bush and I don't see that as a failure considering that the argument has waged since Teddy Roosevelt and no president succeeded to really address the issue.



Even if Obama fails to win a second term he has still achieved a huge victory for all the administrations that fought for health care. To me that is a issue that is worth for losing a term for.



Now I am disappointed that Obama did not force a fight over taxing higher incomes I also can do the math.... he would have not got the votes to side with him in the Senate for taxing higher incomes.

Answer 5

Did I hear someone say "One world government"? The tax cuts might have been O.K., if we do the numbers on illegals and the billions upon billions each year spent there. Wasted spending. Etc, etc.

The revolution is nearing. The American people lose to many more rights and the bullets will be flying here in this country.

Answer 6

"Tax cuts" as you call them did not get us into this mess. That is the mental failing of the liberals spend and raise taxes. They have always though that the American taxpayer(in the present 49% pay taxes) should send their money to Washington and the the politicians can return what they think is fair AFTER they redistribute to the non-producers,

Answer 7

President Obama is NOWAY NEAR A "FAILURE"! And the Republicans led by neurotic and crooked and immoral Newt Gingrich (Flynt, 2004) did NOTHING of the sort! They deliberately SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN over a Newt snit-fit about which door of Air Force One he was allowed to use as Speaker of the House! You think we don't remember? He had to STEP DOWN as House Speaker over ethics violations and pay a huge $350,000 fine...don't you recall that?



The prosperity of the Clinton years after the SAVINGS AND LOAN COLLAPSE due to Republican-favored Reaganomics (supply side tax cuts for the very wealthy few) and deregulation (same as what caused the Bush/Cheney/GOP housing/credit markets' collapse and the financial system MELTDOWN) was due to DEMOCRATS and PRESIDENT CLINTON doing exactly what the Obama administration has done: Switch to DEMAND-SIDE economics and RE-REGULATE the out-of-control (GOP-deregulated) insurance industry, credit card industry (see Credit CARD Act of 2009), banking industry, Wall Street, etc. Republicans are now and have always been an absolute DISASTER for this nation's economic well-being!



President Obama needs the New START Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty to be ratified in order to keep nuclear materials out of the hands of would-be terrorists and off the black market. Republicans are holding this treaty HOSTAGE despite the wikileak's breech of security by revealing diplomacy-killing documents!!! This is NOT something that can be broadcast publicly!!! If not ratified, the U.S. loses inspection access to unstable storage facilities and weapons-grade nuclear materials that can be processed down to fuel-grade for safety's sake. PRESIDENT OBAMA IS A REAL LEADER and he is politically brave---willing to take the heat for doing what has to be done to protect this nation! I suggest that all of the multi-billionaires who have come out in favor of a tax hike to the Clinton years' 39% (Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, the Clintons, the Obamas, Oprah Winfrey, etc.) simply pay the taxes now into an interest-bearing account and have someone trustworthy in the media REPORT to the public how much the deficit would be down if these voluntary taxes were to be applied! Then SHAME the unwilling greedy-gut millionaires and billionaires into doing their FAIR SHARE for this nation as well.

Answer 8

Bush has nothing to do with it. The same week obama was said to have won the DNC wall street and the price of oil went haywire. Bush had his faults, but could do more good from his ranch in Crawford then Obama can in Wasington.

Answer 9

How can you compare W.Bush & Obama since W. was a Communist?
