Well, Part Two of the Obama Plan is to reduce the average American income to $20 per week, so then the tax cut will seem a whole lot more valuable. :)

If your utility bills are $2.00 per month, your car payment $4.00 per month, your grocery bill $14.00 per month, and you save the balance, you’re on your way to unimaginable wealth.

My refund check last year from the IRS amounted to $2.00. Guess who kept the rest.

Yeah, he promises a measly little tax cut, but delivers a crippling mountain of debt. He’s already added thousands of dollars of debt to every household in America and he’s piling more on every day. His proposed added taxes on energy alone will bankrupt the nation if he gets it through the congress. Obama is truly an idiot.

The government does just that and its still running a deficit no matter how much it confiscates from us.

When my friend was getting considerably more of a tax cut courtesy of the Bush/Cheney Administration she was angry that the extra money wasn’t going to “social programs”. She said she was going to write them a letter telling them to shove their “tax cut” up their a**es. I wonder what she thinks of the whopping $8.00 per week she is getting.

It is hard to imagine, but I’m sure Obama will deliver just that. Poverty to all. Cuba writ large.

And remember, Jim, the tax cut is not a tax cut at all. It is merely a reduction in the amount withheld each week. Next April 15th the earner will owe the same amount.

If the earner selects his exemptions so as to owe zero dollars on April 15th, then the $8 per week reduction means that on April 15th, 2010, they must cough up $400 to pay their taxes. Tax cut, my a**!

$8.00? Well, one doesn’t. It’s all part of the BIG LIE that the Obama campaign spread all over the nation during the election.

Don’t worry, he’ll try and crank up marginal tax rates before he’s done to help pay for his profligate idea of government, to wit: Take a bucket of water from the deep end of the pool, and then dump its contents in the shallow end. Why? Well, to make the shallow end deeper, of course.

You’d think, of all people, the first black president - Barrack Lincoln - would want to FREE the slaves. Instead, he’s trying to create more.

The amount of Bullcrap coming out of his mouth is making me sick. And in his speech he had people who have been “helped” by his so called tax cut.

Don’t forget that the Bush tax cuts expire next year then when all of the rates rise that $8 will dissappear!

During the 80's, the liberal montra was that the jobs that Reagan produced were cheap burger flipping jobs.

Zero's "green" bubble is probably not even going to grow to a bubble, but will be a national disaster.

Not only what Obumbi is saying but how often he is saying NOTHING. I am older than dirt and I have never seen/heard a President on TV/Radio as often as this guy and over NADA. Even after 9-11 GWB was not on TV this often.

Oh c'mon now. Don't worry about a thing. If the taxes get too high (after you're done feeding everyone else's family first) that you can't afford to feed your own family, Oboma has it fixed so you can always take out a bank loan.

(Now get away from your computer and get back to work you slacker. The Democrat base wants to feed.)
