Yes, I know, this is hardly new coming from a democrat candidate, but, Obama&#8217;s plan is different.<\/p>\n<p>He isn&#8217;t claiming he&#8217;ll only raise taxes on those nefarious &#8220;Rich&#8221; people, oh no, Barry boy wants to raise EVERYONE&#8217;s taxes. How?<strong> &#8220;I think the best way to approach this is to adjust the cap on the payroll tax so that people like myself are paying a little bit more and people who are in need are protected,&#8221;<\/strong> the Illinois senator said.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right, he wants to raise your taxes, and take it off the top. <strong>&#8220;And he has said, and I think a lot of us who have been fortunate are willing to pay a little bit more to make sure that a senior citizen who is struggling to deal with rising property taxes or rising heating bills, that they&#8217;ve got the coverage that they need,&#8221;<\/strong> Obama said, speaking of Billionaire Warren Buffett. Ain&#8217;t that great? A billionaire and a senator who want to reach deeper into your pocket&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>These seniors who supposedly struggle with rising property taxes&#8230; Did they think they weren&#8217;t going to get old? Is the rest of the population responsible when some don&#8217;t plan for their own futures? Personal responsibility and freedom go hand in hand.<\/p>\n<p>This reminds me of the old, faxed around joke: &#8220;Lack of prior planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/article.php?id=D8SRM7882&#038;show_article=1&#038;catnum=3\">Breitbart\/AP Story<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jonn added:<\/strong> Gaius at <a href=\"http:\/\/bluecrabboulevard.com\/2007\/11\/12\/democratic-election-strategy-2008\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Crab Boulevard<\/a> reports that the Left isn&#8217;t too happy about Obama&#8217;s latest pronouncement, either. <a href=\"http:\/\/michellemalkin.com\/2007\/11\/12\/obama-speaks-ill-of-social-security-nutroots-go-nuclear\/\" target=\"_blank\">Michele Malkin<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/stoptheaclu.com\/archives\/2007\/11\/12\/nutroots-turn-on-obama\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stop the ACLU<\/a> troll the depths of HuffPo-ers&#8217; outrage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Barack (Vote for me, I&#8217;m Black) Obama (D Illinois) has announced another brilliant plank in &hellip; <a title=\"Obama Strategy Revealed: Vote for Me!
