Obama is a hypocrite. We all know that. Every liberal out there is. While they rant and rave about how we should all do what ever it is they want us to do, they then go off and do something just the opposite.
As of late, Obama has been out there hitting the streets, telling us taxes should be increased. We should “share the sacrifice.” We should “share the pain.” Those who are wealthy should pay their “fair share.”
What about the narcissist in chief?
On Monday, his tax return was released. He made $1.7 million dollars last year. He is certainly among the rich that he keeps lambasting.
In his most recent tax return, his income was $1.7 million, yet he only paid taxes on $1.34 million. Why? Tax deductions of course.
Obama was able to take $350,000 in tax deductions. He paid almost $434,000 in taxes. That is about one third of his table income and less than quarter of his real income.
Barry, you are a hypocrite. You want everyone else to pay higher taxes but not you. Obama took deductions, which he was legally entitled to do, so he could reduce his tax burden.
On top of that, Obama is going to be getting a $12,334 refund from the IRS.
I have no respect for Obama. He is a joke. If he were really serious about the wealthy paying their “fair share” of taxes, he would be the first. If he were really serious, he would not have taken a single deduction, but would have paid taxes on his full income of $1.7 million. In addition, if he were really serious, he would return that entire refund check. Just like the left shamed GE into returning their $3 billion dollar tax refund check.
Obama thinks the tax rates for the most successful Americans should be raised. If he were not a hypocrite, he could have taken the lead and voluntarily paid more taxes than were required of him. He could have voluntarily paid a million dollars in taxes. The Federal Treasury would have accepted his check. He could have refused the $400,000 he is paid a year by the American people.
But like all liberals, he is a hypocrite. He takes trips on Air Force One just to go on vacation and burns tons of fuel, yet lectures average Americans when we complain about the high cost of fuel. Americans suffer and are out of work because of his economic policies and what does he do? He tees up for another round of golf.
That is almost as amusing as watching someone drive down the interstate with their Obama sticker on one side and their environmentalism sticker on the other side of the bumper of their big SUV that only gets ten miles to the gallon.
The top income tax rate is now 35%. Obama wants to see that go up to at least 40% and though he will not say it now, with an election coming up, he probably wants to see it go much higher than that. Obama paid 26%.
Barry, you are a hypocrite.
