Obama's tax plan is a welfare program

Obama promises that 95 percent of Americans will receive a tax cut even though nowhere near 95 percent of Americans pay any federal income taxes at all.

Obama's plan is a straight welfare program in which people who pay no federal taxes will receive a check from the federal government.

As Obama told a plumber in Ohio, "It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success too."

Those suburban working class voters who think that they will receive any of Obama's income redistribution welfare are in for a big surprise.

If you actually pay income taxes now, expect to pay more if Obama is elected.

Obama's tax plan is a giant welfare program that all tax payers will foot the bill for.

According to estimates, by 2011 under the Obama plan, an additional 10 million filers would pay zero taxes while cashing checks from the IRS.

In other words, the welfare roles increase by 10 million people under the Obama plan.

If you support more welfare, vote for Obama.

If you pay income taxes now and believe that you will benefit from Obama's class warfare and income redistribution, blame yourself for voting for Obama after your income taxes go up.

Remember also that Obama endorsed Todd Stroger, who is already redistributing suburban tax dollars into the city at the highest rate in the country.
