Obama policies blasted for being such a good value

You can't make up this bullshit, folks: The wingnutosphere is criticizing Obama's policies because they benefit the country.

A think tank called the Tax Foundation has put out a report about the President's major proposals. The Tax Foundation is clearly a right-wing organ: Its articles constantly bemoan the rich having to pay taxes like everyone else - yet it opposes sales tax holidays that help working families.

Now the Tax Foundation has produced a report grumbling that Obama's plans would let the poorest 70% of American families (i.e., everyone except the richest 30%) receive more benefits than they pay in taxes.

Gasp!

The Tax Foundation thinks people getting what they pay for is a bad thing?

I guess they'd be happier if the poorest 70% get less than what they pay for. That would obviously satisfy the Tax Foundation greatly, judging by their other articles.

Progressive taxation is one of the building blocks of all successful modern societies. Through most of the 20th century, until it was weakened in the '90s, this concept was one of the foundations of America's growth and stability.

In addition to other benefits, this policy helped keep consumer prices lower even while workers earned more. And it helped draw beneficial economic projects into poorer communities.

The government should actually be doing more to restore tax structures that benefit the nation. If more was being done for working families, we'd have more people able to contribute and rebuild America.

Unfortunately, the government has spent too much on handouts for Big Business, which has enabled corporate criminals to seed all sorts of crime and dysfunction all over the land.
