Obama's bizarre tax attack

It could almost make your head spin. With an economy on the front end of another recession, President Obama’s tax attack on the folks who are most likely to succeed, invest, start new businesses and create jobs is nothing short of staggering. Only liberal-left class-warfare ideology can explain this.

In his speech on Monday, Obama laid out $1.5 trillion in tax hikes over 10 years, aimed almost entirely at America’s well-to-do. This includes $800 billion from rolling back the top rates in the George W. Bush tax-cut plan, $470 some-odd billion to reduce itemized deductions for upper-bracket payers and — oh, yes — a millionaire’s tax called the “Buffett Rule.”
