WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Obliquely answering the hundreds of "tea bag" protests around the country on tax day, President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he's already delivered the most progressive tax cut in history, with 95% of families getting a tax break in every paycheck.

Obama's Tax Cut equals about $13 per paycheck for 95% of Americans

And lots of folks fell for it hook, line and sinker. They will have a surprise next April 15th. However, I will give him credit for this. He did read the bulk of the people correctly. Sad.

Liar! You had the withholding tables changed to deduct less each paycheck but you did not lower the tax rates that will be due at tax time next year. It’s a scam you Nazi.

Hey, what is everyone talking about? I’ve already received my first tax cut...about $10 more in my paycheck. What to do, what to do with all the money...vacation to the Grand Canyon, or visit Disneyland or...maybe buy 2 more gallons of gas? I can not believe that reporters are not calling his BS on this. Well, I can believe it in one sense but do not know how they sleep at nights with the knowledge of the terrible job they are doing. I guess it is because most of the reporters like our president have no core values to really guide them.

Tax payers to Bozo, tea parties are not about taxes, they are about spending and onerous government control. To put a point on it though, you, a**hat, have not cut taxes, you have instituted a one time tax credit, you have also let, or will let, the Bush tax cuts expire. In order to cut taxes you need to pass legislation and you haven't done that.

The taxes you put on businesses will be passed onto consumers, thereby raising their taxes. Next year there will be no tax credit, the Bush tax cuts will expire and businesses will increase their prices, lay off workers and reduce wages in order to make up for the increase in taxes they have to pay.

What tax cut were you talking about, liar in chief?

Oh yes we forgot. He gave an totally insignificant and meaningless one time tax credit of $ 400 a year, $ 8 a week, for people making $ 75,000 or less. But at the same time he is going to let the Bush tax cuts expire in the end of 2010 and therefore almost all tax payers will be paying much more in taxes icluding those making $ 75,000 or less. He is going to impose a one trillion dollars "Cap and Trade" tax increase which will double the bill amount that people are paying for energy. He already wasted 4 trillions dollars in his first 3 momths in office which will not only triple the defict and the national debt but also will impose the largest tax increase on people in the last 60 years.

President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he's already delivered the most progressive tax cut in history, with 95% of families getting a tax break in every paycheck.

A one time totally insignificant $ 400 tax credit for people making $ 75,000 or less is now considered by Obama the MOST progressive tax cut in history. This man wants us to believe that his insignificant one time tax credit of $ dollar a week for one year only is bigger than Reagan tax cuts or the Bush tax cuts which have saved every each tax payer thousands of dollars each year.

Never before in history of our country there has been a President or even a national politician who lies so constantly, with no shame, and with such brazenness like Barack Obama. It is just incredible.

I received that “tax cut” in my paycheck, along with a note from our payroll expert that we might wish to readjust our withholding, as this “tax cut” would be counted as income when filing next year’s taxes. You see, this was not a tax cut, but a reduction in the rate of withholding. THE TAX RATES WERE NOT CHANGED, thus the “rebate” will count as income. Had my husband and I not submitted a new W2 with fewer deductions, we risked not having enough withheld, and would probably be fined and penalized. Revenue trick? Or just more slick smoke and mirrors?

Hope you enjoy paying your warm, cool, drive and haul taxes ...if you can pay them. Of course, if you pay taxes at all you will not only be paying your taxes for this you will be paying for at least two others.

They are absolutely trying to belittle us by calling us “tea-baggers” I heard Maddow and Anderson Cooper both sophomorically alluding to “tea-bagging” in reports last night. Cooper actually joked, “it's hard to give a speech when you're tea-bagging” . Wonder if Andy picked up that term from his Mom's new smut book.

The lies that Obama spouts 24/7, 365 days a year are just shocking. He simply cannot stop lying.

Wait until the Bush tax cuts expire on December 31 2010 and then you will see how much extra money in taxes you are going to pay. I guarantee you it would be much more than the $ 400 ONE TIME tax credit that socialist Obama gave you.

[ravingnutter]

I spent my $13.00 tax cut for materials for the spending/bailout protest ; )

[jveritas]

I totally agree with you.

“I’ve already cut taxes” = Let them eat cake.

[refreshed]

Save it. You’ll have to give it back next year.

[grandpa jones]

.it’s not a tax cut they only reduced the withholding tables. You still owe taxes on the money!

It's amazing to me that this fact goes unreported.

EARTH TO OBAMA: YOU CAN’T *CUT* TAXES FOR SOMEBODY WHO DOESN’T *PAY* TAXES.
