Geithner: Obama against any middle class tax hike
On the budget deficits, Geithner said, "I think Americans understand we have an unsustainable fiscal position. We have to bring these deficits down over time." He said the country must "get our fiscal house in order" and stressed that Obama is vehemently opposed to a general income tax increase for people who make under $250,000 a year.

Hey Mr. Geithner...well said. But how about if you make less than $500 a year... say you are living in a tent under the freeway? Think you can get any money from these "middle-class" people?

After all.. you are going to require that they spend their last $500 on mandatory medical insurance. And since the Bankers wrote the Bankruptcy Laws... no one is allowed to file Bankruptcy.

3. I saw this statement on one the early shows
It's only by a miracle, that I wasn't shopping for a new TV today. Yup it was a shoe (slipper actually) and it bounced off.
