RSSObama Panders for Elderly Vote
J.J. Jackson | August 15, 2008
Trying to shift the burden of paying for everything liberals desire to fewer and fewer people, Barack Obama has a new proposal – no income tax for senior citizens.
WASHINGTON (AP) – If you’re a senior citizen and earn less than $50,000 a year, Barack Obama has a deal for you: a life free of federal income tax.
Sounds appealing, right? Maybe to many seniors. But tax policy experts in Washington are giving it bad reviews. They see it as another subsidy for senior citizens, who already get federal help through Social Security and Medicare and often have economic advantages over other demographic groups.
Hey, when you’re struggling against a weak moderate candidate like John McCain you have to pull out all the stops. Pandering for votes with other people’s money (because you and I will have to make up this difference) is what liberals do best. And targeting seniors, a HUGE group is pandering at its best.
For crying out loud! You are already taking hundreds of dollars from my paycheck to pay for their retirement and healthcare already. Now you want to give them more? If all Americans do not share in the tax burden then those that do not (or who are minimally invested at best in it) will just keep voting themsleves more and more money from those that are. It is tantamount to slavery.
Heck, why not? Viva entitlements!
