because too many people out there just don't realize the reason their paycheck went down was because the payroll tax holiday was over. It wasn't a tax increase, it was just the end of a tax break.

Wingnuts are making a huge mistake if they think it's proof that we're on the same side over tax cuts. We are absolutely not on the same side, the left wants a more progressive structure to raise revenue from people who can well afford it while providing a disincentive to the naked greed we've seen since Reagan screwed up the tax code.

Okay, we'll call that his legacy.

For example, the pseudo-respectful "open letter to Joe Biden" from the uber-coward Ted Nugent.

What a deranged alternate-reality that pedophile has. When he was threatening Obama & Hillary I wonder if he was being "respectful" too?

You realize what's happening there, right..?

They were on a fishing expedition.

Hey, we who are now retired paid that tax rate since around 1985. It's what you do. A country with an infrastructure and a social safety net takes money out of your paycheck to pay for those benefits.

If we want to cut our spending, we need to cut our military. That's where there is waste.

Obama should never, never have brought the payroll tax cuts in. They were a very bad idea from the beginning. He really opened himself up on this one.

Bad chess move. Your queen, Obama. Now rescue yourself.

Occasionally I get some uninformed wingnut quoting the Washington Times. I just laugh and remind the poor soul that Woodward and Bernstein worked for the Post. And the Post is a real paper.

Check out Freeperville next week. I'm gonna post the following (but I probably should change me screen-name):

You're damned if you're a good Democrat objecting to the payroll 'tax' change, you're damned if you're a GOP troll objecting to it.

Cui bono?

For years DU's 'trolls' have been attempting to make members and Democrats in general look stupid. But suddenly M$M pick up a thread?


Hmm

They could have had proof in Solid Gold with Platinum letters and still wouldn't believe it. I believe they are really just haters. Racists with a capital R, and like someone said, "You can't cure Stupid."

Limbaugh didnt help, either.

When so many good friends joined our board!

(For the young 'uns out there, the Moonies had a giant ceremony way back in the day where thousands of arranged matches were married off in Madison Square Garden.)
