This needs to go out in a commercial and a press statement of some kind with Joe the Plumber’s words about it being 250,000 one day and then what the next

I believe he's also weasel-wording those numbers; that's household income, meaning two wage earners. Divide by two for single wage-earner threshold.

If you take that $150,000 figure and spread that out over the four years of an awful Obama presidency, you will get taxed for making about $102/day. This is a little more than what the average person might make, but it shows how sneaky the numbers are.

0bama has voted for tax increases no less than 94 times.

I rilly rilly rilly believe he's going to lower taxes when it's to raise money for his budget and his pet pogroms...

Funny how we have to commit to a candidate based on what he says, but he doesn’t have to commit to what he says.

It doesn’t matter what they say during the campaign. Your taxes are going up under the Democrats unless you are on welfare.

Obama tax cuts? That’s a fantasy!

Obama and the democrats will first let the Bush tax cuts expire, which will result in a tax increase to everybody. Obama will then take the tax increases to send welfare checks to those that don’t pay taxes to begin with.

When is the last time that the tax and spend democrats actually cut taxes? When is the last time that the tax and spend democrats actually cut spending? When is the last time that Santa Klaus actually brought anyone any presents? When is the last time that the real tooth fairy actually left anyone a dollar under the mattress or pillow?

Other than going back almost 50 years to Kennedy, taxes have never actually been cut by any democrat except perhaps on the local level.

So then, why are people actually giving any kind of credibility at all to anything that a democrat by the name of Obama says in regards to cutting taxes?

The only reason for Obama and the democrats are proposing “tax cuts” or “spending cuts” is for the votes that those promises might bring them on Nov 4th. Obama’s history and the democratic party’s history should be enough to convince people that, if it’s not in their nature, it ain’t gonna happen and therefore, expecting tax cuts or spending cuts is equivalent to believing in Santa Klaus or the tooth-fairy.

Obama and the current leadership in the senate and in the house are big believers in lying to obtain their end results. That’s the communist way.

Once elected, they’ll activate the same old excuse and lie, the one that Bill Clinton also used, that, “because of unforeseen circumstances or conditions beyond our control”, “we cannot follow up on the previously promised tax cuts or spending cuts”.

The democrats and their leadership, including the president (when democrat), have always lied about tax cuts and spending cuts. Anybody believing any of their lies are just plain stupid or easily duped or brainless.

What he isn’t telling the crowds is that $200,000 is in Mexican pesos, not US dollars.

Obama's tax-cut threshold shrinking?: $250,000, $200,000, now $150,000

Gee, looks just like my 401(k)!

This is just like Animal Farm. “Two legs good, four legs better” changed to “Four legs good, two legs better” by the end of the book.

"I know I know I campaigned for a middle class tax cut but Ive never worked so hard on something in my life ..." so I'm going to raise your taxes, and retroactively to boot. Sounds familiar?

Isn’t anyone in the media thinking to themselves, “Hey, that’s applying to me!?! I’m not rich!”?

The campaign's homepage, for example, accessed today, reads, "Obama said he wanted to give a tax break to all families making under $250,000 per year, which he said was 95 percent of American workers."

And I wanted to give my wife a new tractor and chainsaw for Christmas, too.

Obama says the tax cut "for 95 percent of working Americans" is only for those who make less than $200,000 per year.

Meaning the group earning between $200K and $250K will remain as they are, neither cut nor raised, meaning that since they didn't get raised, it is a cut for them, too?

And now, Fox News reports Biden told a Scranton, Pa., TV station yesterday that Obama's tax break "should go to middle class people – people making under $150,000 a year."

But, Biden added, "just because it SHOULD only go to that smaller group, my dunderheaed Marxist running mate wants to spread the wealth around even more than that. Besides, consistency is not our strong suit."

And I SHOULD rethink my plans for my wife's Christmas gifts.
