They are more than a few problem with Obama speech. First I am tired of politician raising taxes on the rich under the guise of making them pay their fair share. The democrats\u00a0 are moving\u00a0 the goal post in defining what is a fair share. I thought the rational for raising taxes in the past was making the rich pay \u201cfair share\u201d. Logic says one a\u00a0 tax Increase\u00a0 enacted the rich should be paying their fair share.\u00a0 Yet every year the Libra want to increases\u00a0\u00a0 taxes higher because the rich according\u00a0 to their view are not paying\u00a0 a fair share even after already passing a tax increase\u00a0 on the rich. Second and more grievous is the money is supposed to (I don\u2019t believe it) to help working families. like paying for child care. Wait \u00a0just a minute, there are millions middleclass workers like me who are single, or married with no children, or empty nester that will see all the pain of increasing taxes but little benefit. So what Obama \u00a0disingenuously \u00a0claims \u00a0to help\u00a0 the middleclass by \u00a0assistance to only a small group of middleclass . Finally as a Christian I find the pitting of middle class against the rich a sin:<\/p>\n
