You are absolutely wrong that Obama is to blame. Throughout the entire debt negotiations, Obama fought to end the corporate tax loopholes and make sure that the "biggest corporations and richest Americans pay their fair share." The REPUBLICANS have blocked all of his efforts, mostly due to the no new tax pledge most of them signed. He has had numerous press conferences where he encouraged congress to get rid of tax payer subsidies to oil companies and tax loopholes to billionaires....but obviously you either didn't watch these conferences or weren't paying any attention at all.... here is his speech from early yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOGrq9uVfPg .... I suggest actually listening to him instead of right wing media that I am sure you get your information from...probably fox news.
Lol...wow! So I guess CNN and MSNBC aren't biased, right? http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/25/business/economy/25tax.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&partner=rss&emc=rss
This is from the NY Times and it tells how Obama's favorite corporation (GE) pays no taxes...in fact, the government has to pay them with our tax money. Why? Because they finance a significant portion of his campaign. So, the lesson learned here...help Obama and pay no taxes. And YES...YOU are absolutely wrong and you're trying to turn this into a political argument. I'm not interested in politics...but I think it's sort of hypocritical of him to sit up there and screw the middle class using his "greedy jet-owner" slogans whilst he gets those same people out of paying taxes. How many times do we have to prove this to you? Do I need to pull up the companies that paid no taxes...you know, the major contributors to his campaign??? Citi, BoA, etc...it's absolutely amazing how blind people are in this country.
So my question to you...if Obama is this proactive leader on making the super wealthy pay their taxes, how come he doesn't name them and call them out? Your argument saying republicans blocked his attempts make no sense whatsoever! Were you here on planet earth during his first two years when democrats had control of the WH, the senate, AND the HoR? You know, the time during which they shoved Obamacare down our throats without knowing what was in it?
