I ran across this hilariously sad (or is that sadly hilarious) story in the Beaufort (SC) Observer by a reporter, Elizabeth Sauls, who is trying to explain to her editor the reason why she can’t complete her story on President Obama. The problem? She starts the story, only to have Obama reverse course or break a campaign promise.

And that’s change we can pay for.

Also, he said that Obama has plans to raise taxes on US companies by $190 billion. And there’s when I quit, just gave up. If Obama raises corporate taxes, who does he think will pay them? Big companies don’t pay taxes. They just add them to the product they manufacture and pass it on down the line, When Wal-Mart receives that product, they add on a bit for profit and an extra bit to cover the higher cost and then stack it on the shelves. Then Susie Shopper comes along and buys it, paying the accumulated taxes along with the store’s profit. Or maybe Susie doesn’t buy it ’cause the extra few cents make it too expensive for her budget.
