76. PERCEPTIONS of economics trump all in the voting booth
Just as an example, there was the $400 Making Work Pay tax credit. Most lower and middle income people qualified for it. It was a genuine tax cut.

Yet I knew about it ONLY because the IRS agent who helped me with some thorny issues told me about it.

Meanwhile, right-wing radio was going on and on about how "Obama raised your taxes" and "Obama ruined the economy."

Where was the Dems' counter-offensive?
