Clinton promised tax cuts his entire campaign and the taxes were only raised. Politicians will tell you anything and everything you want to hear. Their job is to earn votes and stay popular. No president will run on the platform of "I'm going to raise your taxes". You may read the news but, you don't understand a politicians game.
So
you do. Then ask yourself this; you believe that Obama would raise taxes because the government needs
more money? After all, you said that the government loved to spend money like baby, assuming there's money to be had now since everyone's reduce/stopped buying things and GDP is going down, not to mention the rising unemployment rate. And if he did raise taxes, wouldn't you think people would wonder why they're getting taxed in a time of recession? It'd be a total public outcry.
We get comparisons made between Obama and FDR, and did FDR raise taxes? I don't believe he ever did, except when he repealed the Prohibiton act which in turn generated tax revenue. If he'll raise taxes, he can kiss his seat goodbye for sure. Economically, the government wouldn't have anything to gain by taxing us, rather, it would hurt the economy, econ101 basics. And you can't compare Clinton's term to now. We're in a recession, he wasn't. And he did cut taxes with his 1997 Taxpayer Relief Act and other subsidies, so I don't know where you're pulling information from that he raised taxes.

Yes, it was in jest. The suggestion of a couple people from a Hentai forum could run the country better than previous presidents is an obviously humorous statement. Calm down and go smoke a bowl,fap, play a game or something. Damn.
Your careless statement didn't sound humorous to me, and Obama's responsibility is huge. But whatever, it was a joke so I'll brush it aside.
