David Plouffe
Chris Wallace interviewed David Plouffe Sunday morning. Plouffe is a senior advisor to President Barack Obama and managed his 2008 presidential campaign. The mantra that Plouffe promoted through the entire interview was that the government needs to raise taxes and the rich need to pay their fair share. Wallace pressed him on this being a bad time to increase taxes and Plouffe consistently pointed out that the increases would only be on the wealthiest of Americans. Mr. Plouffe, this does not make the tax increase proposed by the president less significant when the top 10% of the wealthiest Americans are bearing 70% of the tax burden.
Perhaps the president is testing our endurance when he continues to engage in this class warfare. The fact remains that we cannot afford to remain silent. We must continue to point out that the people the president would tax are the people whose money we need to grow our economy and who create jobs. Focus on the economy, not on who finances government. The money Obama would take from the wealthy, government would consume and once it is consumed it is no longer available to grow the economy.
Plouffe was critical of what he called obstructionist practices by those legislators sent to Congress by the Tea Party. He emphasized the need for bipartisan support of the president. Plouffe might do well to recall the bipartisanship displayed by the president, Reid and Pelosi when for 18 months or more they worked to ram Obamacare down our throats? Where was the bipartisanship then? Bipartisan to a Democrat means everyone capitulate and allow the Left to do what they want.
No. I was one of many who worked to send Conservative Republicans to Congress through my work in the Tea Party. We sent them there to obstruct the path of this president and men like David Plouffe because we understand this White House is destroying America and we will not have any more of it.
Congratulations to Herman Cain for winning the straw poll in Florida and Mitt Romney for winning the straw poll in Michigan. Recovery is only 13 months away. Remember the words of Ronald Reagan reapplied to today, "When your neighbor loses his job it is a recession. When you lose your job it is a depression. When Obama loses his job it is a recovery."
