Geithner says that the Government might have to hike taxes on the middle class

Remember this little bogus promise during the election?

The Obama Administration; Spending Government money, No problem. Appeasing terrorists, No problem. Keeping Campaign promises? Not so much.

The Report from George Stephanopoulos:

To get the economy back on track, will President Barack Obama have to break his pledge not to raise taxes on 95 percent of Americans? In a “This Week” exclusive, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told me, “We’re going to have to do what’s necessary.”

Geithner was clear that he believes a key component of economic recovery is deficit reduction. When I gave him several opportunities to rule out a middle class tax hike, he wouldn’t do it.

“We have to bring these deficits down very dramatically,” Geithner told me. “And that’s going to require some very hard choices.”

“We will not get this economy back on track, recovery will be not strong and sustained, unless we convince the American people that we are going to have the will to bring these deficits down once recovery is firmly established,” he said.

While Geithner told me, “There are signs the recession is easing,” he warned that, “We have a ways to go.”

“I want to emphasize the basic reality that unemployment is very high in this country,” the secretary said. But, he underlined that the administration is “going to do what is necessary to bring growth back on track.”

Click here to watch the video. It is very telling of this Administration.

It is quite obvious to this writer that the Barack Obama Administration had no intention of fulfilling this promise. The socialist left has a warped mentality; they believe that the entire Nation, rich and middle class alike, should pay for the socialist programs for the poor in this Country. This is nothing more than classical class warfare. If you are a working person in this Country, this means that your paycheck, the reward for the sweat of your labor will be going to fund Socialized Medicine. Some if you will say; “Well, it has always been that way.” That is true to extent, but if the Obama Administration does what they are really wanting to do here. Everyone that has any sort of a job will pay double taxes to pay for a Government controlled medical insurance system.

Just another broken promise of the Barack Hussein Obama Administration.  Where hope and change is just another stupid talking point.
