Here&#8217;s a clue, Whoopie, if you don&#8217;t want your taxes raised, don&#8217;t vote for lefties. You&#8217;ve got a Democrat mayor (yeah, he says he&#8217;s independent and has called himself a Republican in the past, but no one in their right mind bought that) and city council, a Democrat governor, and a Democrat president, no wonder your city, state and federal taxes are going up.  Not surprising at all, especially given the fact that Obama promised to raise your taxes (she&#8217;s making well over $200,000). Complaining that he&#8217;s actually doing is silly and pretty unfair. And don&#8217;t you want to be patriotic? Isn&#8217;t it time you paid your fair share? :-)Though, now would be the time to start your campaign, Whoopie, maybe you can raise enough of a stink that Congress refuses to go along with the tax increase.<object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/VV5YBqWyKkA&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/VV5YBqWyKkA&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><\/object>BTW, kudos to Obama for keeping his campaign promise of hitting those making $250,000 filing jointly and $200,000 for singles. I was afraid that he was going to lower it once he got in office. I&#8217;m glad he at least kept that campaign promise because we won&#8217;t be hit by this tax :-)(<a href=\"http:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2009\/03\/06\/video-whoopi-discovers-she-doesnt-like-tax-hikes\/\">via<\/a>)Update: Wow! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nypost.com\/seven\/03072009\/news\/regionalnews\/spare_the_wealth_158407.htm\">Even the mayor of NYC is coming out against taxing the wealthy<\/a>  (which is actually a change in policy for him because he&#8217;s supported tax hikes in the past).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We can tax the rich, except that, if you haven&#8217;t looked at the stock market lately, they aren&#8217;t making any money,&#8221; he said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, and they&#8217;ll probably make a lot less so that they&#8217;ll avoid the limit. People are already admitting that they plan to work less so they don&#8217;t get hit with the higher tax (yes, that&#8217;s right they want to avoid taxes).
