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.

Commie pigs are only for OTHER people’s taxes to be raised never their own. They hate anyone who earns a living and succeeded in life..that is who they despise. ANYONE who voted for Obama deserves to have their taxes raised, they voted for the dipsh*t, they deserve to suffer the consequences..but hey, they will end up going on the Govt for help, get plenty of food stamps and welfare and will be happy again

We’ve been telling them that “He’s a Lying, Two-Faced, Bottom Dealing, Backstabing, SOB” for nearly 6 years and the light is just now coming on.

Useful Idiots.

It's about time everybody into the classwarfare scene recognize that the federal income tax is just another failed government program. it was only supposed to hit the top 1 or 2 percent, and now it is a crushing burden on the top 53% ~ quite obviously it doesn't deal well with federal government expenses!

We need to rescind the 16th amendment and let the smart guys figure out some way to create an indirect tax that will do the job.

The founders didn't want the federal government 'getting skin' from the ordinary citizens of this country. That's a Central African and Eastern European way of thinking that has no place in this country.

I guarantee this decrease is gonna’ hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt those making over 400 grand.

But don't you feel all warm and fuzzy because the "rich are paying their fair share"? (never mind they pay far, far more than their "fair share").

What? Obama lied to you, you say?
Stupid is as stupid does.

[ducttape45]

I love it when rats and libs finally get a taste of their own medicine. This is what they voted for, why are they surprised?

Wait until they get their healthcare bill!!

[COBOL2Java]

Let me guess: the useful idiots are blaming the “cruel” employer for no longer offering insurance?

[null and void]

Sooooo, y’all hirin’?

The writer spelled "psychotic" wrong.

[martinidon]

Good for you; I bet a lot of S Corp’s did the same as the year ended. Politicians don't have a clue!

[hondact200]

To all the idiots whom voted for the King Odumbo - Cry me a river. I am enjoying this immensely.

the democrats in my area of Michigan are screaming. screaming even louder is the cities whom were dependent upon the property tax, the City loses the city property tax revenue = county tax.

Just remember to tell the democrat idiots to read a book - Suggested titles
Yellow River - I.P. Daily
Tigers revenge - Claude Balls
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)

Hard work means, to most folks, something at an hourly rate

I have a major peeve. Anyone who does not have a college education is called "a working man".

So with my MBA, working 20 hour days when I was on the road 100+ nights a year, what was I ?

Oh, that's right. I got to stay in posh hotels. About 4 hours a night and no OT pay for me.(Maybe I should have unionized?)

[azsportsterman]

I feel their pain; I just told my wife we’re gonna have to cut back to lobster OR steak instead of lobster and steak a couple of times a month. She said I could drive the Mercedes less and save on gas (not gonna happen).

Honey: You aint seen nothing yet.

Wait until Obamacare gets into High Gear.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Entrepreneurs will find inventive ways around a lot of the requirements established by Obamacare. The new law applies to full-time employees, which Barack defines as those who work 30 hours a week or more.

Suppose an employer currently has a worker making $12.50/hr who works a 40 hour week, for a gross of $500. A creative employer could change the worker to part-time status, have him work 25 hours on the books @$20, for the same $500, and work the additional 15 hours off the books. Yeah—no healthcare benefits. That will become a lot more common than it is now.
