You didn't address anything whatsoever, how is a person supposed to be happy about slightly lower income taxes when they're unemployed. Unemployment has gone way UP under Obama, therefore a lot of people are paying a lot less in income taxes.

The $4 trillion in new debt since 0bama race the national stage IS a tax increase. So is 0bamaCare, so is the 15% he added to the federal budget, so are all the new government agencies he is creating. 0bama and his democrats have essentially added more then $4 trillion to our credit card and we will have to increase our monthly payments to pay it all back. How else do you think all of this is going to be paid back, if not thru future tax increases, or a devalued dollar, or inflation?

Are you going to blame Obama when your Health Insurance company drops you when you get sick?...

Why shouldn't I? The bill didn't do ANYTHING to stop that from happening either.

Anyone making over $250k will see an increase of 1% - 3%... (which is nothing to them)... is expected to bring in about $678 billion for the government over the next 10 years.

Who are you to say that 1% - 3% is nothing for anyone? That's not your place and that 3% increase could mean them having to lay off an employee meaning you have another unemployed person paying NO taxes.

I do have kids and there's nothing in the bill that stops the rates from getting so high that I can't afford to pay them meaning that I essentially have no insurance. The Dems would only care about my kids if they were illegal immigrants, minorities or some form of government handout group. My kids will be raised to be self sufficient and not to rely on the government to help them or prop them up, in other words my children are a Democrat's worst nightmare.

If the tax rate was at 39% before the tax cuts to 36%... and no jobs were created... that means they just pocketed the difference while they outsourced U.S. jobs overseas... Created the Unemployment state we are in... Are you going to blame Obama for that too?...
