Comment on HuffPo

Putting a stick in the spokes of the Obama “narrative” is not hard, since there is no narrative other than hating ideological others, and trying to distract people with smoke and mirrors.

Here is a sample, from a post I made at the HuffPo, responding to the farcical continued efforts to make it an issue that a rich man pays taxes at the rate we would expect:

Do you all realize that your children will have to live in the world we
are making, and that we are going BANKRUPT rapidly? For all intents and
purposes, Obama has blocked every budget attempted since the
Republicans took control of the House in 2011. He has grown our
national debt more in four years than Bush did in eight, and Bush’s
spending was ALREADY indefensible. Obama is the first President in
American history to spend $3 trillion. The problem is not a lack of
taxation, but a growing government payroll.

We have not had unemployment this high for this long since the Great Depression.

We have lost most of the Middle East to anti-American zealots, and
invested American lives and treasure to do so. Obama’s foreign policy
has been a dreadful joke.

And we have not even reached the important chunks of Obamacare, which
will cut the profits of many small business in half, and which has
caused 83% of doctors to think about leaving the field.

And you think it news that a rich man whose money mainly comes from
investments is taxed at the rate ALL people are taxed on who make money
on investments? Of course not: you just hope it will distract from
Obama’s failures, and patent refusal to live up to his own promise to do
the job in four years or quit.
