IIRC, the lower bracket goes from 10% to 15%.....that’s gonna go over like a turd in a punch bowl....wait a minute!

Those 10% ers don’t pay federal income taxes anyway! They’re our EITC babies....

On Jan 2, this happens. Of course, a bunch of Obama’s people go from 0% to 15% taxes at the same time because the Bush tax rates had eliminated the lowest bracket.

The middle class is about to run into an AMT buzzsaw where $1,000 refunds turn into $1,500 tax bills. And that’s on 2012 income.

A tax hike does the following.
1. Takes money away from consumers. Less money to spend they spend less money. The economy depresses.
2. Takes capital away from small business owners. They do not hire more workers. Less workers less tax base! Business doesn’t grow the economy depresses.
3. Gives the spenders in Government more money to pay off special interests that put them in office and does not reduce the deficit one red cent!

Does that include a tax hike on union leaders who, of course, are in the 1%?

“Clearly there was a mandate from this election, the American people are with the president on taxing the wealthiest Americans,” said Peter Colavito, director of government affairs for Service Employees International Union, which represents 1.8 million workers, including nurses, janitors and security officers. “Our people expect leaders in both parties to honor that mandate and ask everyone to pay their fair share of taxes.”

They will honor it, when the Bush Tax Cuts expire for everyone.

Revenge is a dish best served with a tax hike.

Does anyone really believe that Obama will let the Union bosses pay higher taxes from the money they acquire from their “brothers and sisters” dues?

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Tax hikes on wealthy? This is code for ‘crushing private sector job creation’. In 0’s view, every job should be a government job. ‘YOU DIDN’T BUILD THAT’ (THE GOVERNMENT DID). Amerika voted for this sh!t? No. It was stolen.

[Terry Mross]

The union presidents will simply vote themselves a raise to cover the tax increase.
