Obama administration wages class warfare

We now have a $16 trillion debt that will be passed on to future generations and it is claimed that the total amount per person is over $50,000. The true per person share is actually much high when you consider the fact that we are currently not making any attempt to begin the process of paying it down. That means the number of people left to pay this burden will be fewer than the current tax paying population because by the time we start paying it back many more people will be retired and no longer paying taxes on wages as the baby boomers leave the work force.

Further compounding the problem is the fact that only half of taxpayers actually pay taxes now since the Bush/Obama tax cuts reduced the tax rate for those at the bottom half to zero. The current administration is waging class warfare and blaming the rich taxpayers for our financial problems and claim the upper income workers are not paying their fair share while those at the bottom pay nothing. After combining all of these things together that means that each person who actually pays taxes share is closer to $150,000 or more.

When I look at my granddaughter I feel like crying because I know her parents will raise her to be a responsible adult who will be one of the unlucky few who will end up getting stuck with the tab. We need to elect public officials who take this seriously and care about the future of our country and not just about being re-elected.
