Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

Obama is still trotting out the liberal spin on taxation. "We cannot afford $1 trillion worth of tax cuts for every millionaire and billionaire in our society," he said. No one, not even the most conservative Republican, is talking about a tax cut. What Obama is talking about is a tax increase.

It would be kind of like going to Wal-Mart and buying a bell pepper for $1.25. Next week, you go to Wal-Mart and they have a big sign on the bell peppers that says "Bell Pepper Price Cut!" But they're still marked $1.25. You tell the produce manager that you paid $1.25 last week, and they're still $1.25, so that's not a price cut. "Oh, but it is," he explains as he looks at you condescendingly. "We were going to raise the price to $1.50 this week, but we decided not to. We cut the price by 25 cents."

As my hero Judge Judy is fond of saying, "Don't piddle on my leg and tell me it's raining."

Read my lips, Barack: "It's not that we aren't paying enough taxes. It's that you're spending too much."
