Barack Hussein Obama is not polling well with the over-65 demographic, so he has come up with a plan to try to buy their support. He promises to relieve all seniors earning less than $50,000 from paying income taxes on those earnings. Message to Obama: That promise won’t win my vote.

Notice the qualifying phrase “on those earnings” above. That was necessary because Obama plans to increase taxes on dividends and capital gains which could affect seniors more than any other form of federal tax. He also wants to increase inheritance taxes.

No Barack, we’re old but we’re not stupid. The fact that we’re not stupid is the reason you’re having so much trouble getting our support in the first place. Let’s suppose that you actually do plan to decrease our net taxes. Do you think that would win our votes when we know that you will increase our children’s taxes to compensate for our tax break? No, we’re not selfish either.
