CURL: Obama supporters shocked, angry at new tax increases
The Washington Times online ^ | Sunday, January 6, 2013 | Joseph Curl

Posted on 01/06/2013 4:23:49 PM PST by Reagan is King

Sometimes, watching a Democrat learn something is wonderful, like seeing the family dog finally sit and stay at your command.

With President Obama back in office and his life-saving “fiscal cliff” bill jammed through Congress, the new year has brought a surprising turn of events for his sycophantic supporters.

“What happened that my Social Security withholding’s in my paycheck just went up?” a poster wrote on the liberal site DemocraticUnderground.com. “My paycheck just went down by an amount that I don’t feel comfortable with. I guarantee this decrease is gonna’ hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt those making over 400 grand. What happened?”

Shocker. Democrats who supported the president’s re-election just had NO idea that his steadfast pledge to raise taxes meant that he was really going to raise taxes. They thought he planned to just hit those filthy “1 percenters,” you know, the ones who earned fortunes through their inventiveness and hard work. They thought the free ride would continue forever.

They’ll soon find that their hard-earned EBT dollars don’t buy as many Skittles and Arizona Teas as they used to

The price of food and goods are starting to go up - again - due to the new tax increases. Gas is due to hit $4 by spring.

Welcome to Obomaland. Hows that hope n change workin' out for ya now?

Oh please, the liberal mind is a sick mind. They will play mental twister to blame Republicans for their checks being smaller. Still, happy to see some spreading of the pain.

Well, you know, Obama actually *cut* spending, so this tax hike is to cover the deficit that is completely the fault of his predecessor. /s

If the GOP were smart ( no evidence of that) they would foment turmoil and discontent among these pinhead libs, and make sure they understand that 0bama is the reason their checks are smaller.

"Useful Idiots."

They were useful idiots until the polls closed on November 6, 2012.

Now they're just plain idiots.

add more book titles for the democrat idiots to increase their knowledge base (Remember the titles and authors are really a joke in itself, just like a democrat is able to increase their knowledge base)

I’m just guessing, but I think your Mercedes is a LOT better on gas than the average chevy.

Tell me if I’m wrong.

Overtime for GS schedule folks ends at GS 12. Having spent my government career at levels far above that I never got overtime. At the same time I was FLSA exempt ~

But I did get the trips to posh hotels ~ off season when we could get them cheaper than the gresiest dirt bag wino motel ~ and frequently spent 100 hour weeks.

The alternative is hourly wage work with caps on overtime, no trips. Jobs at the higher levels are also more entertaining.

............ that all those rules, all those regulations, all those morals, and all those taxes should only apply to someone else


And it is a sad fact that just as many conservatives here at FR think the same way. I see many threads here where the only solution to a problem is more govt.

I got to stay in posh hotels

that may be so....but after a while didn't they all blend into the same old, same old. ? After 100+ nights on the road wasn't it nice to NOT eat restaurant food, sleep in YOUR bed.

And the no OT pay because you were EXEMPT. Flying on Sundays to get to you Monday appointment, arriving home at 2 AM Saturday to leave at 13:00 on Sunday. Paying people to do the things that you could do for yourself only if your were there....but instead you're on the road.

The 20+ hour flights to Asia to eat food that is simply the most disgusting thing ever, where you've stopped asking what's in it. The offers of pimps whose prostitutes are young enough to be your grand-children.

Yeah....what a great life indeed.

They can shut up and pay their fair share. As they gazed in awe, amazed by Obamas words of wonder, did they really think that tax increases were only for republicans? They should happily and willingly give as much as they can to their fellow obamabots, especially those who prefer not to work.

overseas trips are something rarely obtained working at postal headquarters, but the agency has something everywhere in America.

After the first few million miles traveling you do develop your own favorite restaurant ~ (certainly chains), hotel/motel ~ just part of the job.

It's also relatively easy to get out of the travel circuit ~ just take a disgustingly intellectual job like researching and writing regulations. lots of people aren't cut out or that sort of work ~ actually almost nobody is cut out for it.

BTW, writing regulations and writing rulings are two different things. Most everybody thinks of rulings as just being another form of regulation, but when you go to court against the gub'mnt your lawyer will cite the law, the regulations and the forms, and if there's a ruling in the mix he'll cut it to shreds with the government's own witnesses.

Not to say rulings aren't important, but sometimes they ain't no thang!

You described my road life to a T. I used to stay in the same hotel chain so the rooms would all look alike (like the familiarity of home). Taking "variation" out of the experience and making predicatbility was the only way I kept a sense of sanity especially on a two+ weeker. Sadly, home became the variable I could not manage (what?! the hot water heater went out?? Call the hotel manager!)
