As a matter of fact, America is in a condition where America should opt for Voluntary taxation and should remove compulsory taxation wholly.
Let the people decide how much they want to donate(charity) for the welfare works. Government can then handle for the voluntary tax thus collected for various purposes democratically chosen by the public. Compulsory taxation system is making America a very weak nation and it is not too far when China and other nations may feel like competing US on every front (including war front).
The socialization/nationalization of america which obama is looking for is devastating. It will pull down america miles down, while the slow gradual shift of asian economy towards liberalism are surely inching their progress slowly but steadily.

What for Obama planning for higher taxes?

No matters Obama increase taxes on Rich or Poor, the sufferer will be the Poor.
because rich can pay even high taxes, poor can't pay increased prices, no matters obama may reduce tax on them.

Obama's pledge: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.
National Security Force? WTF?

Until it got to the "Just as well funded" part, I was thinking he could have meant that civilians need to be vigilant and help spot illegal activities or dangerous situations to let the authorities know but "funding" a civilian security force? I thought Americans already had local state and federal pol;ice forces. We don't need another police force.

Hell, in Houston, alone, there are roughly 160 different police organizations (Including school police forces, various other local, state and federal organizations).

Now, it caqn be interpreted that He wants to protect the homeland with a force that is as proportionally strong as the military is compared to the job it has. At the point that he turns this into an official policy statement, I will be either concerned or not.

The fact that he may be willing to match military spending after adding the cost of a single payer health system should be sobering to anyone that demands fiscal responsibility from American government. You think Americans are up shit creek, now?

If any of this comes true, believe me, America will be doomed, because if he do so, he will be proving much more ruthless than bush, and in fact Bush wasn't ruthless for Americans directly, if obama do so, he will be directly ruthless for Americans,

I HOPE he won't do any of the socialistic madness he has been planning and promising for.
he has already caused a lot harm over what Bush did by again malinvesting the worthless banks and now worthless industries like GM, Ford etc.
