More proof Obama policies not working

Posted February 24, 2013 3:40 am

Well, the numbers are in. Payroll taxes went up and people had less income. Retail sales went down. Holy cow. What a shock! Who wudda thunk it?

Here’s concrete proof that the current administration’s failed policies don’t work. You can’t tax your way to prosperity. This is all on you, Mr. President, you can’t blame the Republicans. Oh, I know you’ll try, saying that they wouldn’t compromise. But here is an inconvenient truth, they did offer compromises, but you wouldn’t. You refused to negotiate. Apparently your idea of compromise is for everyone to do it your way.

Time for you to go down the path to economic recovery that was paved by Presidents Kennedy and Reagan; cut taxes and reduce spending. And please do it quick before you ruin our country any further.
