Axelrod Won’t Rule Out Tax Increase | washingtonpost.com — Gee, how could this happen with all the campaign promises of lower taxes.
President Obama’s top political adviser refused today to rule out the possibility that the White House might agree to a tax hike on health insurance plans that would hit middle-income Americans.
Speaking on ABC’s “This Week” program, David Axelrod declined to repeat Obama’s “firm pledge” during the campaign that families making under $250,000 will not see “any form of tax increase, not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.”
Instead, Axelrod said the president has no interest in “drawing lines in the sand”
And, is Axelrod running the country now?

# 11 Greed as you call it, working hard for a better life is what gave the US the highest standard of living on earth.
And Greed, trying to get free everything at the expense of others, is what is bringing it down.
I left one out.
The boss is responsible for what his staff say and do. That is why they call him the boss.

And if you don’t succeed in becoming a millionaire, you are left with a fairly useless health and social system.
What an amazing way to treat people.
