Obama shifts stance on offshore oil drilling

[BanginJimmy]

If you weren't talking out your ass you'd know he only plans to increase taxes for people making more than 250,000k a year.

Look up the evolution of the 16th amendment and the income tax. Yea, that was only for the rich people too.

You should just stop posting now like you did in that other thread because you're a retard who has no clue what they're talking about. Drawing a parallel between the 16th amendment and Obama's plan to tax the wealthiest people doesn't really produce a meaningful example of anything except a logical fallacy.

Oh, and why raise taxes on anyone?

Because we're running a record deficit, that's why. Also, lol @ whoever said a lot of good things came out of Bush's term. Weak dollar, dead soldiers, greater mideast instability, economic mediocrity (its not all his fault by any means, but he didn't help)... I'm trying to think of something good. I'm trying really hard.
