By most calculations, the latest proposal from President Barack Obama to improve the economy has little chance of making it through Congress. And according to Rush Limbaugh, the president does not even have good intentions.
On his Tuesday radio show, Limbaugh questioned the motivations of the president with his latest jobs legislation. He called it a disincentive instead of something that would encourage hiring.
“This bill would only punish people who work,” he said. “This bill would act as a disincentive for anybody to try to improve themselves.”
According to the conservative radio host, the president’s real intention is to raise taxes.
“This is nothing more than a wet dream a tax bill,” he continued, adding that the president’s health care reform law passed in 2009 was also just a tax increase effort.
“Obamacare is not about health care,” he said. “ObamaCare is a tax bill. All Obama has done is introduce tax bills or spending bills. Nothing else.”
