Lincoln, our first Republican President freed the slaves from the oppression of the south. Obama, our first Black President, in the course of a few months has made us all slaves to the government.

It started with the bailouts, then grew to a hostile takeover of the banking system and the auto industry. And the administration isn’t done there. They are planning a hostile takeover of the healthcare industry- which is equal to 1/7 of our economy.

This is not a war on the recession but a war on prosperity. With the spending out of control, Congress is coming up with new ways to tax us to pay for it. They have already raised taxes on tobacco and are considering taxing soda and junk food. But it doesn’t stop there. They are about to pass cap and trade which will be the biggest tax increase ever on the American public. In addition, they are talking about adding a Value Added Tax (VAT)- which is an additional Federal Sales Tax on goods and services.

Currently we have to work 120 days to pay what we owe in taxes. This year – if you started paying taxes on Jan 1- and you worked a standard 5 day work week you would have to work until June 17 to get to your 120 days. While literally 120 is about 1/3 of your year. It would take you about half the year to pay it.

If Congress adds anymore taxes to our already burdened public it would literally add months of more service to the government making us all slaves to the New Republic of Obama.
