Obama Supporters Are Shocked, Shocked, I Tell You.... (After realizing taxes have gone up)
American Thinker ^ | 01/07/2013 | Selwyn Duke

My mother always used to say, "Life is the best teacher." Sure is -- and sometimes it smacks you right upside the head. It appears that this has happened with Barack Obama supporters now witnessing their paychecks shrink in the wake of tax increases. And they're none too happy.

In fact, they're shocked.

Shocked, I tell you.

Providing examples of this liberal anger and angst, Joseph Curl writes:

"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?"

Well, pal, I'll explain it. George Bush has found a way to control Obama's mind, sort of like a zombie. I mean, you don't think the great orator's mouth makes all the mistakes it does (off-Teleprompter) because it's actually controlled by the great orator's brain, now, do you?

Curl continues:

"The Twittersphere was even funnier."

"Really, how am I ever supposed to pay off my student loans if my already small paycheck keeps getting smaller? Help a sister out, Obama," wrote "Meet Virginia." "Nancy Thongkham" was much more furious. "F***ing Obama! F*** you! This taking out more taxes s*** better f***ing help me out!! Very upset to see my paycheck less today!"

How can you pay off loans with smaller paychecks, Virginia? Ask Nancy; she sounds like a real intellectual.

For every known life form except liberals, which have developed a peculiar immunity through selective inbreeding, stupidity itself contains an inescapable built-in negative feedback mechanism.

These idiots haven't seen anything yet. Wait until the price of everything goes up to cover the increase taxes on those over 250K. Of course our King Obama will increase those receiving welfare and food stamps to cover those price increases. But you poor saps that are still working, tough shi!

Ah the stupidity! All these people cared about were the “free” handouts from the government: obamaphones, welfare cards, free everything. But they were too stupid to ask where the money was coming from.

The left entices people with “free” things, but their goal is really to ensnare people in their grip and control their lives, actions and thoughts.

What do you get for pretending the danger’s not real?
Meek and obedient you follow the leader, down wel trodden corridors into the valley of steel.
What a suprise.
A look of terminal shock in your eyes.
Things arent really what they seem.
No....this is nt a bad dream.

several nurses aides were talking about this....they probably make $15/hr or so....the concensus is that they're all upping their deductibles so they get more money back....one guy has two sons, between him and his divorced wife, and he's claiming 5....because he knows his income will get him a fat return at tax time anyway....

for the rest of us, upping your deductibles is not a bad way to go....you don't know what your situation is going to be in several months....and keeping more of YOUR own money rather than surrender it early to bammy sammy makes sense...

If trilobites had some welfare state to tend to their desires evolution would have skidded to a stop.

Unfortunately, the consequences of universal shiftlessness that elected our current president have only now kicked in and since Natural Selection has been around so long the death of our species will be long and agonizing.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch. Can’t wait to laugh in their collective faces when obamacare kicks in.

This would be amusing if we were living in a parallel universe but we're not. These liberal morons are dragging us into Hell with them
