Obama’s predictably pointless tax plan
by Rossputin | 5:59 am, September 20, 2011
Let’s keep a few things in mind when considering President Obama’s proposed $1.5 trillion dollar tax hike as part of a claimed $3 trillion deficit reduction plan:
First, according to the NY Times, $1.1 trillion of the total amount is claimed savings from winding down the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. That does NOT represent real spending cuts, and thus has much less long-term impact than reducing spending from government programs that will continue beyond the wars. Apparently most of the rest of the spending side comes from cost controls of entitlement programs but without actually reforming them. This means rationing and quotas, fully in step with the Obamacare drive toward truly socialized medicine in the US. I’m all for cutting the cost of Medicare and Medicaid, but it should be by increasing competition and the discipline of market forces into the programs, not simply by rationing care.
Second, half of Obama’s plan is raising taxes on the rich, including allowing the Bush tax cut for the highest tax bracket to expire as well as eliminating deductions for upper income earners. This has zero chance of passing the House of Representatives and probably couldn’t pass the Senate either. I wonder if even most Democrats think that someone should lose his mortgage interest deduction just because he makes a lot of money.
Let’s remember two things here, straight from the Dear Leader’s own mouth:
First, he said that we should not raise taxes during a recession, and while we may not be technically in a recession today, we’re damn close to tipping back into one, which his tax plan would surely do. Second, he said that he had never proposed a tax hike which would go into effect during a recession, but how did he know that then and how does he know it now?
Here’s Obama himself:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aufAtuTwKlE
Second, this is not about revenue for Obama despite his words today. He must know that his proposal won’t raise nearly the revenue he suggests; tax hikes have NEVER raised the expected revenue, particularly capital gains tax hikes. Instead, this is about redistribution, also known as “fairness.” Remember this ABC debate in 2008?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpSDBu35K-8
It’s all about class warfare, and it’s all about ginning up hatred for the “rich” as a campaign strategy.
It’s a question of whether the broader electorate will be fooled by this or whether the GOP will fall into the trap that Obama is setting for them. He will run against Congress, blaming Republicans for obstruction, where what the GOP is obstructing are policies which are acid poured on the foundation of our economy.
Obama’s message today shows that the Super Committee has no chance of reaching agreement and that we are in for more than another year of bickering and finger-pointing as each side tries to use the issue to partisan advantage. The Republicans are in the right, but the media will work hard to defend Obama, in whom they have so much invested.
The good news is that the public is awake and that the Internet and even Fox News offer them more information, and more balanced information, than they would have if the major broadcast networks were still the only real source of news. The bad news is that so many young adults get their “news” from Jon Stewart who, despite his protestations, is a partisan liberal Democrat.
It’s also worth noting that in the NY-9 special election, the victorious Republican was outraised 2-to-1 by the Democrat, and that nearly 90% of the outside groups’ spending on the race was on behalf of the Democrat. Nevertheless, a Catholic Republican won against a Jewish Democrat in a district that is 3-to-1 Democrats by registration. Yes, it’s not the most common demographic mix in America, but the facts remain and imply that President Obama is simply not believed anymore when it comes to economic issues.
Just like his “jobs speech” before a joint session of congress, Obama’s “Buffett rule” plan is nothing more than campaign strategy by a campaign that is remarkably out of touch with the American people.

The statutory trap door under Prop. 103 tax hike
by Kelly Maher | 8:12 am, September 19, 2011
The answer from state Sen. Rollie Heath, D-Boulder, to the question of Proposition 103 as a statutory measure is troubling. What assurances do Colorado voters have that – if the $3 billion tax hike passes – that the new revenue over five years would actually go to the stated purpose?

Human sacrifice on a carbon altar
by Rossputin | 5:31 am, September 19, 2011
In a recent NY Times op-ed, Thomas Friedman called Republican presidential hopefuls Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann “crazy” because they doubt man-made global warming. But his argument smacks of the desperation of the Cult of Algore as it sinks under the weight of science, Solyndra, and logic.
After beginning with his ad hominem attack, always the refuge of those who know they’re about to lose an argument, Friedman makes one error of logic after another:
First, he argues that Perry’s rejection of man-made climate change is crazy because Texas “is on fire”. In other words, the fact that there is hot weather means that there is man-made climate change. This sort of example, while dramatic, confuses a short-term situation with a long-term phenomenon.
But, while risking committing the logical error of “appeal to authority”, on which more in a moment, I might point Mr. Friedman to a NY Times article from last year in which the author writes “Of the festivals of nonsense that periodically overtake American politics, surely the silliest is the argument that because Washington is having a particularly snowy winter it proves that climate change is a hoax…” In other words, a brief event does not prove anything about multi-generational trends. The author of that article was one Thomas Friedman who was, to be sure, still arguing for man-made global warming, but using essentially the opposite of his current argument.
Please read the entirety of my article for the American Spectator here:

Don’t worry, Prop. 103 won’t actually fix the problem
by Kelly Maher | 8:53 pm, September 17, 2011
After Colorado’s experience with Referendum C, the idea of Proposition 103 as a temporary tax increase being billed as a “band-aid” awaiting a “Big Fix” totally makes me want to vote for it…Not.

Audio archives for this show:
This week on Backbone Radio, we’re going to talk about the intersection of politics and morality, as well as the message of this week’s special elections in New York and Nevada. We’ll also briefly discuss this coming week’s possible UN vote on recognizing a Palestinian state, perhaps one of the most disastrous moves we’ve seen even in decades of Middle East disfunctionality.
Televangelist Pat Robertson made news this week by suggesting that it is OK for a man to divorce a wife who has been afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease because the disease “is a kind of death.” I’ve yet to find anyone who agrees with Robertson, but we’ll take on the topic on Backbone Radio.
The media is going crazy over the last Republican debate, in particular the moment when Ron Paul was asked by Wolf Blitzer whether uninsured patients should be allowed to die and someone in the audience yelled “yeah.” The left has pounced, calling Tea Party members cruel, uncompassionate, and worse. But are we really our brothers’ keepers? And even if we’re not, does that mean that Americans would allow other Americans to die?
And at 7 PM, we’ll talk with Bryan Preston of Pajamas Media about this week’s special elections. Do the Republican victories mean that “the age of Obama is over”, or are we reading too much into these individual situations. We’ll also talk about the Jewish vote in 2012.
Please join me by listening to (and calling in to) this week’s Backbone Radio program from 5 PM to 8 PM on 710 AM KNUS in Denver and 1460 AM KZNT in Colorado Springs.

Please join me by listening to (and calling in to) this week’s Backbone Radio program from 5 PM to 8 PM on 710 AM KNUS in Denver and 1460 AM KZNT in Colorado Springs.

This week on Backbone Radio, we’re going to talk about the intersection of politics and morality, as well as the message of this week’s special elections in New York and Nevada. We’ll also briefly discuss this coming week’s possible UN vote on recognizing a Palestinian state, perhaps one of the most disastrous moves we’ve seen even in decades of Middle East disfunctionality.
Televangelist Pat Robertson made news this week by suggesting that it is OK for a man to divorce a wife who has been afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease because the disease “is a kind of death.” I’ve yet to find anyone who agrees with Robertson, but we’ll take on the topic on Backbone Radio.
The media is going crazy over the last Republican debate, in particular the moment when Ron Paul was asked by Wolf Blitzer whether uninsured patients should be allowed to die and someone in the audience yelled “yeah.” The left has pounced, calling Tea Party members cruel, uncompassionate, and worse.
