Well, maybe he will cut taxes for 95% of the remaining 60%, so this means only 3% of us will get a tax increase. < / sarcasm >

How?
Because he’s lying, that’s how.

What he is actually proposing is putting 95% of Americans on welfare essentially, sending them a government check, though the amount would be trivial. He proposes paying for it by raising taxes on the remaining top 5%.

So in otherwords, it is classic socialist redistribution.
No one has bothered calling 0bama on it, perhaps because no one has taken his “tax cut” promise serious enough yet.

Oh, and 0bama will raise “middle-class” taxes in other less direct ways. So that $500 government check won’t even cover all his new taxes he will saddle voters with.

That is one heck of a good list. It is so good, I’d like to print it on handbills. Do you have the footnotes to support each statement?

Increase the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is a “negative income tax” for poor, working filers, I bet....

Obamamath:

He must be using the same math as he used for the number of states.
