Today, President Obama is expected to lay out his plan to increase taxes as part of the debt ceiling discussions.  So continues the Democrats’ practice of taxing the job creators we need to spark an economic recovery.  To quote the President himself, “[T]he last thing you want to do is to raise taxes in the middle of a recession because that would just…take more demand out of the economy and put businesses in a further hole.” 

Below are reminders of how the policies supported by the Obama Administration and Congressional Democrats have hurt, not helped, America’s economy and why new tax increases won’t result in the economic growth our country needs.

 
We can do better than risk the economic recovery of our nation with job-killing tax increases.  Instead, we should take steps to cut Washington’s out-of-control spending and get our nation’s fiscal house in order.
