Obama budget takes us to new heights - dangerously high

Why are taxpayers seeing red? Five charts say it all. The Obama budget:

- will send the tax and spend-o-meter will hit historic heights;

- pushes spending to historic levels -- 27.7% of GDP;

- pushes the deficdit to historic levels -- 12.3% of GDP;

- pushes public debt to levels unseen since WWII -- 64.8% of GDP; and

- sends spending and taxes skyrocketing.


You have to see it to believe it: paste this into your browser and weep...

Taxing the rich at 100% won't pay for Obama's budget. The Wall Street Journal has reported that taxing the rich at 100% won't pay for Obama's budget. Barack Obama promised not to raise taxes on anyone making under $250,000 per year. Where is he going to get the money? The numbers indicate Obama will need to take 100% of the income of everyone making over $75,000.
