Letter: We all lose under Obama’s ideas

The Columbian
Published: August 8, 2012, 5:00pm

The new “American Dream” under President Obama’s rule is to take the risk of starting your own business and/or working hard to be successful, invest wisely and then if you are rewarded from your risk and hard work and make money, it will be taken away under Obama’s tax on anyone who makes over $200,000 a year.

Then it will be given to people who can, but will not work.

Hey, why not give it to the “Occupiers” who want free stuff of everything.

The proposed tax on the so-called rich will generate maybe $800 billion over 10 years.

Wow, that will really put a dent in our trillions of dollars of national debt. This president has to go come election day.
