I am angry about something and it has to come out somewhere, so here it is. So, President Obama has decided that now is the time to get our jobs back by taking away tax incentives for major corporations. Excuse me, shouldn’t he have done this when he took office? Wasn’t that one of his promises? To get our jobs back? Why now? Oh yeah, it is election time, time to start campaigning and keeping former campaign promises. Where was the huge change that was promised? Was it the promise of the further deterioration of our country? If it was, success! Was it the promise of more unemployment? If it was, success! That is what we got, more and more giant corporations took their jobs overseas while unemployment rose to epic proportions, and the companies that kept their jobs here were seemingly punished. Let’s help the American middle class, isn’t that the war cry? Well, President Obama you are late to the party. I shall wait and see if he is actually going to follow-up on this, he seems to have no follow-up.
Whew, got that out, so it is raining here, and I am happy, the rain makes me happy and helps me sleep. It puts me in a good mood and I feel as if I can conquer the world. So, I am off to conquer my part of the world today, in this plane of existence at least. In Angie World I am already the Empress and make all of my own laws!

The thing is, more taxes isn’t going to create one single job. He has no control over tax incentives for taking jobs overseas because it’s those countries that are giving the tax incentives! Sure, he can try and give incentives to keep jobs here, but in most industries, incentives aren’t going to be enough. It’s still cheaper to create products in China and ship them here. Has anyone been to Walmart lately?
It’s pure class warfare in an attempt to get elected. You don’t have enough money and it’s that “rich” person’s fault.
He talks about “fair share”. How about the bottom 50% pay more? In 2010, the bottom 50% paid just over 2% of the tax burden. Is that fair?
If he wants to help the middle class, get government the hell out of their way and let them keep more of their own hard earned money.
