What is the Prez smoking? Like any citizen believes that if he can’t realize the dream on his own “the GOVERNMENT will seize that dream for you???” Serious?

Maybe our govenment helps the Mexicans realize their dreams but for American citizens... NOT.

Er...it’s not even a tax cut. It’s a decrease in the witholding rate. We’ll still owe the same percentage next April. He’s such a fraud.

NO ONE GOT A TAX CUT. 0bama only reduced the withholding amounts. You still owe the same amount on your income. You just have to pay the amount of your tax 'cut' back to the government in one lump sum next April 15th.

NO ONE GOT A TAX CUT.

A greater percentage of the lowest-income quintile smoke than any other quintile. Many of those smokers use cigarette tobacco and "roll" their own to greatly reduce their costs.

Obama increased the taxes on their cigarette tobacco by more than 2000 percent -- from a little more than one dollar a pound to $24 a pound. Figures may not be exact but I do believe they are close.

Serves the poor smokers right? Well, OK but the point is that the Grand Wallah of Isflam Barack H. Obama, what he says is flam, is lying!

80% of all small business owners are in the top 2% of earners.

when he says he will increase taxes on the top 5% of the US families, that’s about the top 10% of earners (300m people, ~140m jobs).

so his tax increases are against small business owners as a group.

15m people are going to pay for his drastic spending plans.

personally, i work enough for the pittance i’m able to eek out now. let the slackers pay for the programs they want, don’t look at me. i get nothing for my tax money... which is 40% of my total income (after all expenses & write offs).

Obama simply adjusted the federal withholding tables to withhold less each week, but at the end of the year, you will either:

1. Get less of a refund (idiotic by the way)

2. Pay more.

He should eliminate payroll withholding. That move the tax repeal movement further than anything.
