Is that your justification..Romney would have done it too ?

I guess because this one really isn't Bush's fault, is it ?

Maybe you should learn to follow a string of conversation better.

Kidkaos stated that he laughs at Obama voters because "this is what they voted for."

The implication being that the expiration of the tax holiday (which was pushed through by Obama to begin with while Republicans obstructed and stamped their feet) would somehow still be here if Obama were not president.


That kind of illogical conclusion, while very typical of people of your and kidkoas' political persuasion, needs to be called out.

There is no one "at fault" for the expiration of something that was supposed to be temporary anyway. It was extended ONCE (BY OBAMA). If you're a Republican who thinks that this wouldn't have happened anyway (or sooner) if Republicans, Romney, or your Republican mayor were in charge, you are woefully beyond hope.

Why you crack geniuses can't figure that out, I don't know.

Yes, and the irony of the situation has yet to settle in.


Obama pushed for the payroll tax holiday in the first place. Republicans obstructed and tried to stop the cut, as well as its extension last year, also pushed through by Obama.

Now that its time for the cut to expire, suddenly Obama is raising our taxes, we've all gotten what we voted for by voting Obama, and if ONLY we had listened to him about his true agenda to... um... return to the status quo... I suppose.

Of course, they may find some more tax changes that will cost them some money coming soon from PPACA that they haven't seen up to now.

At any rate they are tweeting some nasty names for Obama and some of that can be seen here.

Did they previously ask why their paychecks were bigger? Or does this operate in only one direction?

Democrats are dumb. I guess they got the increase and just figured they were doing such a good job they got a raise but weren't told about it? Hell I didn't even know democrats work to begin with. That is what is shocking about the OP. lol

If people make less money and are doing the same ampunt of work then taxes increased !

Dems can make all the silly little excuses they want to make themselvrs feel better.
