Fred Thompson: Barack Obama and Taxes

Jim Geraghty posts an excerpt:
Obama's so-called tax cuts for people who don't pay income taxes, of course, aren't really tax cuts at all, just additional spending in the form of government checks, paid for by us, the American taxpayer.

Are we really expected to believe that the spending needs of the most liberal government in American history, in control of all three branches, will be satified by only raising revenue from the top five percent of American taxpayers?

I think we've heard this tune before — back when Bill Clinton campaigned on a middle-class tax cut and when elected, imposed a middle class tax increase.
