Speaker Boehner,

It's time to stop pushing America's economy to the brink of disaster.

Instead of recklessly cutting Social Security and Medicare, you should end special tax breaks for Millionaires, Billionaires and Big Oil.

In closing, the lies you stated, particularly about 'bipartisan support for cut/cap', were precisely that, LIES!!! You sir are NO Senior Statesman. If you cannot lead the Tea Party Wing Nuts, you do NOT Belong in the role of Speaker of the House!!!

Several days ago I was watching a T.V. show of a family (possibly English or European) in a small apartment. The clip was about an elderly lady who wanted to show everyone in the apartment that she was still able to kick a ball (possibly a soccor ball) straight up. Well she proved her point, that she could. She did kick the ball, but in kicking the ball in the small room where everyone was gathered, it shattered the ceiling light, disrupting what everyone was doing. One gentleman was reading a newspaper, and he had to stop immediately to protect himself from the shattering glass of the ceiling light, and a lady had to cover a pot that was on a kitchen stove that was in the approximate area of where the shattering glass was falling. And in the same room I noticed a double bunk bed (one with a ladder). And .. your question is, what has this got to do with the universe or how it affects me! Perhaps it's true what our illustrious Dem / Socialist Communist president Barack Hussein Obama, has been saying about the average American for so long. That we have more than what we need! That our houses are too big and sometimes have extra rooms that we don't use. That we drive large expensive cars that aren't necessary, instead we should drive smaller foreign cars. That we Americans, should behave like good Socialist / Communist societies and not protest or disrupt the agenda that this Socialist administration has in mind for the direction of America. And that we should give thanks for what we have, because there are millions throughout this planet that have less and that we are selfish for what we have. SO WHAT!!! We work hard and PAY TAXES to LOSERS in Washington for what we struggle to have. But it is he Barack Hussein Obama, a selfcentered artificial individual that because of his personal conflicts of who he is and how he was raised, can't accept the United States as the land of hopes and dreams, or what has been accomplished in the advancement of all cultures and ethnic races in the last 40 years. And like all prospective dictators, always assumes that they and the government knows what's good for its citizens. That we should not be selfish in the matter of material things, and we should sacrifice our dreams and ambitions. And, we should continue to support foreign leaders and their citizens who don't necessarily like Americans, with our sweat and tax money because they're less fortunate than us. Our sweat and tax money that is suppose to be used for Americas economy, infrastructure, government programs for the poor and stability of our country. Going back to the beginning of my comments, is that how you want to live? Like citizens in a Socialist or Communist country .. two or three families cramped together in a small apartment because the government wants all of its citizens to be equal! The life of Socialism or Communism .. take your pick! Because that's what's in store for America if Barack Hussein Obama is reelected in 2012!!!

“Obama: Raise Taxes, Capital Gains - "For Purposes of Fairness"

“Obama wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax "for purposes of fairness", even if we collect less money and run up more debt that China will buy up. This goes contrary to what he was saying about the "Bank of China Credit Card", and the part about paying down "some of this debt".
