Obama Campaign SLAMS GOP in Bulk Email on TAXES

James Kvaal, Policy Director for Obama for America, used some twisted logic in a recent bulk email to 'supporters' claiming the moral high ground on taxes - specifically setting themselves up as a tax cutting machine while painting the Republicans as opposing tax cuts proposed by the Obama Regime. Kvaal says:

Friend --
In case you missed it -- yesterday Congress voted on a bill that gave them two simple choices:
A) Let President Obama's payroll tax cut expire, raising a typical family's taxes by more than $1,000 next year, or
B) Extend and expand the tax cut, helping 160 million people and letting that same family keep $1,500. Click here to find out what it does for you.
The payroll tax cut would be paid for by requiring millionaires and billionaires to pay a little more. But some in Congress think millionaires and billionaires should get to keep paying the already-low rate they get, thanks to the Bush tax cuts.
This one isn't complicated. And for a party whose leaders and candidates have pledged not to support any tax hike ever, taking money out of the pockets of middle-class families should have been unacceptable.
But almost every Republican in the Senate went with option A -- blocking President Obama's proposal, and refusing to make the wealthiest among us contribute their fair share to help struggling families and strengthen the economy.
So it's clear that when they say no tax hikes, they really mean millionaires and billionaires shouldn't pay more, ever -- even if that means your taxes go up.
We're not letting this one go until Congress reverses course and does the right thing. And one way to spread the word is to make sure you know exactly how the Obama tax cuts affect you and your family.
We've created a new Obama tax cut calculator -- use it to find out how much money Republicans in Congress want to take from you, then share it with everyone you know so they can find out, too.
In these last few weeks alone, we've seen Congress fail to act over and over again. First by refusing to keep teachers, firefighters, and cops on the job and to hire more of them, and now by refusing to protect a middle-class tax cut that makes a real difference for millions of American families.
And the Republican presidential candidates are in lock step with the GOP leaders in Congress on this. Just last week, Mitt Romney said he's "not looking to put money in people's pockets" and backed his Congressional counterparts.
Try the calculator to see what's at stake for your paycheck, and please share it with anyone you think needs to see it:

Notice the subtle attack against millionaires and billionaires - the people responsible for job and wealth creation in the world and the payers of the vast majority of taxes in the country. Also notice the blame Bush narrative continues.

Right - it's all Bush's fault - we almost forgot. Kvaal fails to mention option C however which is to cut the size of government - an option which the GOP places as its highest goal and rightfully so. They aren't against tax cuts but rather the method Obama wishes to use to PAY for them - penalizing the nations producers; persons who should be hailed as examples not villains.

The email throws a bone to to unions as well - painting the GOP as stopping the hiring of more teachers, firefighters, and "cops" (union jobs) when the reality on the ground is vouchers and personal gun ownership would go a long way in solving those shortages without burdening the public with unions which reward the lowest common denominator.

The difference of worldview here could not be more obvious. One group applauds and expects great things from individual persons while the other believes the government must be in charge of all and expects individuals to display carnal desires requiring cradle-to-grave assistance from the enlightened elite. 2012 will reveal where the collective stands on this - a point of no return. A line will be crossed if Obama is re-elected. Do people really want to be free? I have my doubts.
