#1 Poll Shows Obama's Tax Cuts Failed (w/ Link To Blog)

Post by The Minx »

Link to Young Turks video.

So this poll shows that only 12% of Americans think that Obama lowered their taxes, while 24% think he actually raised them. The reality is that he lowered taxes for 95% of Americans and increased for 5%. Why is this discrepancy? Because the Obama political machine somehow, inexplicably, forgot how to communicate with the people following the night of November 4th 2008. Meanwhile the Republican propaganda machine has been pounding on the lies and half-truths so people believe "Obama will raise taxes, oh noes", when this applies only to the most wealthy 5%.

Sigh. :neutral:

I pay over 40% in taxes right now. And am a very light drain on public resources. I'd like to see a tax cut.
Never shall innocent blood be shed, yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river.

The three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of god.
