I hate when the Obama Administration muzzles Joe Biden. They should give him his own television channel where he can just chatter away for 24 hours everyday about whatever he chooses. Now THAT would be some entertaining TV. The Washington Times<\/a> reports today that he called the tax deal that Obama brokered with the GOP “morally troubling”;<\/p>\n

Mr. Biden said the president still thinks extending the George W. Bush-era rates for the country’s highest wage-earners, along with everyone else, is “morally troubling.” He said the president broke his 2008 campaign promise on the issue to help only the middle class.<\/p>\n

“We couldn’t get it done,” he said in a pre-taped interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “We had to make a decision.”<\/p>\n

Mr. Biden said the president will try over the next two years to have the rates revert to Clinton-era levels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What could possibly be “morally troubling” about people keeping their own money? I would think people could more likely find spending our money on turtle tunnels and snail research more troubling. Of course, Biden and Obama don’t find “morally troubling” the fact that they had planned on the expiration of Bush tax rates as an end run around their campaign promise to not raise taxes on the middle class.<\/p>\n

What I find morally troubling is the fact that Obama\/Biden have to keep liberals on the plantation by promising to raise tax rates down the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
