Let’s Never Find Out: Part 8 — Middle Class

Note: This is the eighth post of a 13 part series supported by bloggers from the State of Ohio Blogger Alliance highlighting the perilous facts that Barack Obama is a dangerous, objectionable, and objectively unfit candidate to be President of the United States of America.

The daily videos involved are from NeverFindOut.org, a project of Let Freedom Ring.

The video transcript, Middle Class:

MAN 1: Senator Obama, why are you lying to us?

MAN 2: To help the middle class, you have promised to drastically increase the taxes on the wealthy and big corporations.

WOMAN 1: This makes us think that the middle class will be better off, right?

MAN 1: Now let’s talk about reality.

MAN 3: What does your tax increase really do for America?

MAN 4: History has shown us that when big companies pay more taxes, they cut costs, they cut jobs, and they cut salaries.

WOMAN 2: Cut salaries for who?

MAN 2: The middle class that works for those big companies.

WOMAN 3: Which means that the middle class now has less money, not more.

MAN 5: Which leads us to a few questions:

WOMAN 4: Why are you misleading the middle class into thinking that your tax plan will help us?

MAN 3: How will we feel if you become President and we find out that we’ve been lied to?

MAN 4: And lastly, you’re running for President, not us.

MAN 2: Why do we need to explain this to you?

ANNOUNCER: What happens when we elect a President who lies to the middle class? Please, America, let’s never find out.

Comment: In Sept 2004, the Washington Post ran a hit piece stating that the middle class in this country was shrinking. Economist Arnold Kling pointed out that the WAPO was correct, but only telling half of the story. The other half was that those of the lower class (under 15K and 15K to 30K) were moving up to the middle class (30K to 55K), and the former middle class (30K to 55K) moved up to the next position (55K to 75K), however the largest category increase was the “75K and up,” which saw the largest percentage increase, almost 18 percent. That fact is folks the poor are moving up the ladder, as well as the middle class, despite what the MSM tells the public; despite what Barrack Obama tells us too.

Barrack Obama claims to be the champion of the downtrodden and the middle class. He claims that the American people are falling behind as the rich get richer. The rich might be getting richer, but so too is every other category in this country. Yet if elected Obama would raise taxes on the very people that have recently made it to the next rung, the new middle class. Not only would he impoverish the middle class, but he would extinguish any hope the poor have to reach the next rung.

This is nothing new the world over; those that claim to bring prosperity through government only bring despair. Obama will bring change, but that change will surely mean despair. Can we afford to vote for someone that will bring despair?

Obama, real change...real misery...real despair.
