I’d call it the “new normal”, but it isn’t.

Things are going to get a lot worse. There just isn’t enough $$$ out there to cover the current, let alone projected, debt/deficits. This 50% increase in the payroll tax (from 4 to 6%) is just the start.

On the bright side, obesity should become somewhat less of a problem.....

But on balance, there will be just that many more folks applying for food stamps, as the “working poor”.

Oh, wait, those are the folks who are making “too much money” to qualify.

Carpe scrotum.

Most everybody thinks “the rich” is somebody else. Truth is, its almost always not.

If you have a car or two; air condiditioning; a warm place to sleep; a modest house with food in the pantry; or, God forbid, a job ... you’re “the rich”. You’re demonizing yourself. Almost nobody in this country is “the poor”.

Everytime some know-nothing liberal Christian or pandering atheist quotes the “its easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into Heaven” Bible verse ... it never seems to dawn on them that they’re the “rich man”, at least by Biblical standards.

Good luck with that camel.

It's not really the point now is it Gaffer ? They forget that this 2% was an Obama/Congress giveback (for which they had no ACTUARIAL basis on doing) of INSURANCE, I repeat, INSURANCE contrutions to Social Security, mandated under the FEDERAL INSURANCE CONTRIBUTIONS ACT (FICA) for OLD AGE, SURVIVOR, and DISABILITY INSURANCE (OASDI). If you want to keep selling that FDR line of boolshite, slag off, cause I ain't buyin !

Email sent to dental practice’s patients (the spelling errors were in the original email - No Child Left Behind):

Attention Valued Patients:

“Due to the medical device tax implemented under the Affordable Healthcare Act, instituted under the Perisident Obama, which charges a 2.3% tax on all medical supplies and devices, there will be a 2.3% surcharge added to our fees to cover this additional expense. Please understand, we are not raising our fees, but rather passing on this expense directly to the consumer.”
Thank you for your inderstanding, Brannon Dental Group

Ironically, the group had to send a second email apologizing for the misspelling of president since they had gotten flack for the “disrespect”.

Oy.......

You slag off. You people keep equating an insurance scam with taxes and get pissed when you don’t know what it even is. I didn’t ask you to buy it; I told you what the facts are, dismal as they are.

0bama voters probably would be stunned to find out that they are just plain stupid, but you have to have some intelligence to realize that point.

...where $100-$200 a month will mean cutting back on essentials like basic food.

I was talking to married friends today. They told me between them their paychecks were $200/mo. less.
They were just about to buy a new car. That's now been trashed.

I was at my local Honda dealership today getting my car serviced. This is a relatively affluent university town in a conservative Southwestern state, so it's not quite as affected by economic conditions as some. I heard the salesmen lamenting about how terrible business is, and they are getting no traffic for buying new cars at all.

Unless we get a whole lot better at messaging, find a spine, and find a way to beat the pro-leftist MSM, it's not happening.

HUSSEIN's definition of "rich" is anyone drawing a paycheck, doesn't matter how much, if you're working, you're rich.

A friend ad I were talking this morning. He got a Pacemaker last year and was sayin how lucky he was that he got it last year without having to pay the 2.3% obama tax on it.

At 5,000 bucks or better that’s a nice chunk of change.
