How many Tea Party dorks noticed they paid LESS TAXES this year?

[K8-EEE]

I know I got a break from last year (thanks Mr. President for the college tuition credit!)

WTF sense does it make that they are getting on Obama's case when paying less than under BushCo?

Of course we all know these rallies have nothing to do with taxes or spending, they gave BushCo an 8 year pass on both. But it would be nice if the LOL "Librul media" would point out that most of us ARE getting an Obama tax cut.

1. I think it's 2%. Bill Maher talked about it last week on his show.

95% of working Amercans received a tax cut. 2% of the teabaggers thought taxes had gone down. Everyone else thought they had gone up or stayed the same.

Great. An organization built around taxes, and named for a famous tax revolt, and 98% of them are wrong on the issue of TAXES.

Hugh morans, all.

3. Maybe we should have a Thanks For The Tax Cut rally

Not that it would get on Fox News, LOL.

16. When did Obama pass this tax cut?

I must say I don't remember hearing about it.

17. Last February...

part of the economic stimulus package.

19. Thanks. I hope I qualify.

2. If you tell 'em that they just KNOW you're lying.

And that's part of the problem.

4. They feel the truthiness in their gut re: Taxed Enough Already n/t

8. Less?

I owe federal taxes for the first time in my life.

[K8-EEE]

10. You've NEVER paid any federal taxes?

Did you just get your first job or something?

11. He probably means that he had a refund in prior years.

They changed the withholding tables.

[LWolf]

14. She, and you are correct. nt

[LWolf]

13. To clarify:

I've never paid more than I had withheld from my paychecks. I've never owed more when I filed my taxes.

I'm about to turn 50, and I've been working officially since my 16th birthday. I've paid plenty of taxes.

[AwakeAtLast]

18. Yeah, I barely got a refund

I know how you feel.

9. It doesn't matter because Obama is Black.

[Terra Alta]

12. my brother got a huge tax break for being a college student

yet he still bashes Obama. He never got such a big tax break under Bush. Go figure. :shrug:

[Maru Kitteh]

15. But they *know* their taxes are going into the pockets of a black man

That' the real problem - see?

[ladym55]

20. I suspect that many teabaggers are mathmatically challenged

They probably can't do the adding and subtracting once they get past what's possible with fingers and toes.

And M$M wouldn't want to cover it anyway ... it wasn't in their morning RNC talking points.

21. they only notice that the President is still Black

their anger has nothing to do with taxes, spending etc. if it did they would have been angry at Bush. but we saw how they cheered on Cheney.

[eridani]

22. The reason they don't notice is that it makes no difference in their lives

Tax cuts change NOTHING about anybody's spending behavior, because the weekly or monthly amounts are too piddling to change your basic situation. Going from unemployed to having a job changes your situation. Getting a substantial raise changes your situation. Being able to go out for dinner one more time a month does not.

Tax cuts made the stimulus package far less productive of jobs than it needed to be.

23. Nope, we didn't

Wife got a job last year.
