OBAMA: “I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase.” (Senator Barack Obama, Remarks In Dover, NH, 8/12/08)

OBAMA: “Not Your Income Tax, Not Your Payroll Tax, Not Your Capital Gains Taxes, Not Any Of Your Taxes.”

Americans who have a job are seeing smaller paychecks due to OBAMA'S TAX INCREASES....the PAYROLL taxes are going UP and the OBAMACARE TAX (remember, according to SCOTUS it is a TAX) has kicked in.

A smart opposition would begin the 2014/2016 campaign today by reminding the electorate that Obama and his party RAISE TAXES ON EVERYONE.

If you mentally add the word NOT to the end of every declarative sentence he utters then he tells God’s Truth every time he opens his mouth.

Not to mention the inheritance tax just went up as well.

The 2% payroll tax holiday for the past two years added hundreds of billions of dollars to the national debt. It was a scam.

The federal government issued T-bills in the amount of the lost revenue to SS and deposited them into the SSTF. SS, already running in red since 2010, has been cashing in its IOUs to make up the shortfall. The General Fund has been redeeming them with 42 cents of every federal spent being borrowed.

The payroll tax holiday was in reality another stimulus package or tax rebate scheme. It was done to help Obama get reelected.

this just couldn’t be true. If it was certainly some strong willed republican would be screaming it from the rooftops.

[MestaMachine]

I am a little surprised that most people didn’t realize that “not one dime” meant many, many dimes in ohaha-speak.

[SengirV]

I’m sure the media will hound Obama on this just like they did to Bush Sr. with the “read my lips” quote.

Any day now ...

DemRats don’t mind OblahMao lying to them as long as he still gives them orgasms and thrills up/down the legs. The Repubs will still be blamed for the ‘tax hike’.

[RJS1950]

Nobody should need to scream this from the rooftops, as if any “republican” has the nads to do so.

The kenyan is a lying SOS National Socialist Democrat. All dictators and socialists lie, every member of the democrat party lies, and too much of the the electorate is too stupid and/or intellectually lazy to understand that they all lie.

Looks like you bought the scam. The money was never theirs. It's ours. The government spending is what added to the debt. You can't go into debt if you don't spend money you don't have.

Denial just ain't a river in Egypt. I deal in the real world. If it is your money, then why contribute at all to SS? Do you have a choice?

The point is that we have been spending money we don't have for a very long time. We have a $16 trillion national debt that is increasing by over a trillion dollars a year and will continue to do so for some time. Who do you think is responsible for paying this debt back? Not the government. You and your children and your children's children will have this monkey on their back. It will affect our standard of living and quality of life.

Who is to blame? The voters who keep reelecting these people and think that they can continue to enjoy the benefits of the European style welfare state without paying European levels of taxation.
