We’re about to go off the fiscal cliff. Don’t be fooled by the disguise.

We’re just 3 weeks shy of it, give or take a couple days and, taking the chance that the Mayan calendar is wrong.

The Emperor made HIS proposal, absurd as it was, to demand twice the amount of tax hikes he campaigned on, the dictatorial authority to raise the debt ceiling without any need to seek congressional approval and put off any hint of spending cuts until an unnamed point in time that we all know will never come.

The republicans countered with their proposal that produces the same amount of revenue the Emperor campaigned on by closing loopholes and NOT raising ANYONE’S taxes and included entitlement reform that would cut spending AND sustain those entitlements for future generations.

It’s now crystal clear, as we have been saying, that the Emperor has NO interest whatsoever in adding revenues.

Obama simply wants to stick it to the so-called “rich.”

He wants to jack up their taxes.

Period.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with paying any sort of “fair share” and EVERYTHING to do with punishing success.

I’m about to explain this to socialists in a nutshell and I ain’t  gonna be polite about it.

As the “fiscal” cliff looms, there is another, perhaps more disastrous cliff of which congressional conservatives should be vary.

In Obama’s “plan” presented last week by tax cheat Timmy Geithner, are some just crazy ideas.

Obama, who ran on raising taxes by $800 billion dollars is NOW demanding $1.6 TRILLION in tax hikes.

If soaking the so-called rich, those who make $250,000.00 or more, many of them small business owners, was going to cause higher unemployment and a stalled economy, what then will soaking them for twice that amount do?

Faced with that sort of government theft, small business owners will NOT expand, will NOT invest, will NOT hire and WILL lay off employees to offset their losses.

In many, MANY cases, small businesses will ALSO raise their prices to consumers thus causing their customers to cut back on THEIR spending.

Combine the two and unemployment rises while the GDP falls.

Basically, the Obama “plan” calls for massive tax hikes and then leaves the spending cuts…dangling.

Obama says, give me the tax hikes NOW and we’ll talk about spending cuts…later…maybe.

Also included in his “plan” is another $50 billion dollar STIMULUS.

Why? Are there more green energy companies that have yet to go bankrupt?

Obama is acting like he has a mandate from 99% of the people to hike taxes in the 1% but, that simply is NOT true. He was “reelected” by a smaller margin than in his 2008 original election and, nearly half the people voted to send him packing.

In fact, the whole “tax the rich” and blow off the spending cuts “plan” only has the support of 11% of the people according to recent polls.

Gallop places the number of people who want “major cuts” to government SPENDING at 92% although, in Obama’s plan, we’ll discuss spending cuts sometime down the road…maybe.

NOT included in Obama’s goofy “plan” are any measures to stabilize Medicare or Social Security.

NONE.

NADA.

Zip, zilch zero.

Oddly, according to Gallop polls, 88% of the people WANT Obama to do something to save Medicare and Social Security.

It seems to me that 88% IS a mandate…92% IS a mandate but…11% is NOT.

So, let’s recap…

This is IT!!!

November 6^th, 2012.

Today…WE choose.

Obama vs Romney.  Socialism vs Capitalism.  Free stuff vs Freedom.  Arrogance vs Humility.  Corruption vs Competence.   Bigger government vs Smaller government.  Community Organizer vs Successful Businessman.  Appeasement vs Strength.  Lies vs Integrity.

If you really want to boil it down…

Obama wants fewer rich people.

Romney wants fewer poor people.

Our economy is closer to the abyss today that it was 4 years ago. Then, we were in a recession and today, we face the fiscal cliff and Obama shouts…”Forward.”

With Obamacare, Obama engineered the largest single tax increase in American history with 21 NEW taxes…12 of which hit directly against the middle class he claims to embrace. Now, he wants to raise taxes again.

4 years ago, gas prices were $1.84/gallon. Today, it’s $3.50/gallon.

When Obama took office, he inherited a AAA credit rating and today, we’ve been downgraded twice.

Since Obama took office, the average income has dropped by more than $4000.00 and more people have completely dropped out of the workforce than have become employed.

When Obama took office, there were 32 million Americans on food stamps and today, that number has risen to 47 million Americans.

Obama says we’re moving in the right direction. He says things are getting better. Obama says we’re making progress and we shouldn’t stop now. “Forward” he says. “Forward.”

We are now a week and a day from the election.

What does Obama have left?

Nothing.

He’s running on empty.

The choice could not be more clear.

Mitt Romney is a man of character.

Obama, a man who’s only campaign rhetoric now is character assassination. Last week, his Chicago thugs recruited Gloria Allred to try and embroil Romney is something related to his testimony in a decade old divorce and child custody case.

A judge look at the “evidence” and told Allred to pound sand.

Mitt Romney has an economic plan to grow the national economy, cut taxes without cutting revenue, put us on a path toward energy independence, focus education on students, teachers and schools instead of the teacher’s unions, create jobs by allowing private industry to flourish and crack down on trading partners who gip the system by manipulating their currency.

Obama has the exact same plan he had 4 years ago which has doubled the deficit and added 6 trillion bucks to the debt, seen 23 million people still looking for work, increased welfare and food stamps to historic levels and led to the most anemic GDP in history.

Mitt Romney understands that peace must be gained through strength, that we must stand with our allies and against our enemies and adversaries, that there can be no daylight between our great nation and the great nation of Israel and that terrorism IS terrorism and we must stay on the offensive against it.

Obama thinks a foreign policy of appeasement and apology combined with his own personal arrogance is the right path.

Mitt Romney has spent 25 years in the private sector growing and managing businesses.

Obama has never run a lemonade stand.

In this presidential race, arguably the most important since 1860, Mitt Romney is gaining momentum and Obama is starting to fade.

We are but 16 days from casting ballots in a race that has easily encompassed the last 16 months.

The question is…Why? Why is Romney gaining the momentum? Why is Obama fading?

Liberals, as the hours and days go by, are getting more and more desperate.

Again…Why?

Liberals have nobody but themselves to blame for their own desperation and their candidate’s fading numbers.

From the very beginning, from the day of his nomination, Obama has been shielded from reality by the media. At least, that is the conventional wisdom. To some extent, it’s true but, I contend that it goes much, MUCH deeper than that.

Obama has rarely, very rarely, face tough questions its true. The media, a liberal lap dog media, has seen to that. They have steadfastly refused to challenge Obama and they have been quick to label those who might, as racists either by saying it themselves via their liberal media pundits or by allowing the narrative of racism itself to go unchallenged.

Think back to December 10^th, 2010. That was the day that Obama held a press conference to talk about a new tax plan compromise.

As the questions got detailed, suddenly, Obama stepped aside and left the questions to be answered by…Bill Clinton. The liberal lap dog media was all too happy to have Clinton at the podium and even peppered the formally impeached president with foreign policy questions in Obama’s absence.

On June 15^th of THIS year, Obama made public his Dream Act decree from the Rose Garden. This was a speech, not a press conference but, one reporter, Neil Munro, dared ask a question.
