The great unwashed is getting soaked by Obama the Most Wise!
Ya been had, ya been took, ya been bamboozled!
Sometimes,
watching a Democrat learn something is wonderful, like seeing the family dog
finally sit and stay at your command.
With
President Obama back in office and his life-saving “fiscal cliff” bill jammed
through Congress,
the new year
has brought a surprising turn of events for his sycophantic supporters.
“What
happened that my Social Security withholding’s in my paycheck just went up?” a
poster wrote on the liberal site DemocraticUnderground.com. “My paycheck just
went down by an amount that I don’t feel comfortable with. I guarantee this
decrease is gonna’ hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt
those making over 400 grand. What happened?”
Shocker.
Democrats who supported the president’s re-election just had NO idea that his
steadfast pledge to raise taxes meant that he was really going to raise taxes.
They thought he planned to just hit those filthy “1 percenters,” you know, the
ones who earned fortunes through their inventiveness and hard work. They
thought the free ride would continue forever.
So this
week, as taxes went up for millions of Americans — which Republicans predicted
throughout the campaign would happen — it was fun to watch the agoggery of the
left.
“I know to
expect between $93 and $94 less in my paycheck on the 15th,” wrote the
ironically named “RomneyLies.”
“My
boyfriend has had a lot of expenses and is feeling squeezed right now, and having
his paycheck shrink really didn’t help,” wrote “DemocratToTheEnd.”
“BlueIndyBlue”
added: “Many of my friends didn’t realize it, either. Our payroll department
didn’t do a good job of explaining the coming changes.”
So let’s
explain something to our ill-informed Democratic friends. In 2009, Mr. Obama
enacted a “holiday” on the payroll tax deduction from employees’ paychecks,
dropping the rate from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent. But like the holidays, the
drop ended, and like New Year‘s, the
revelers woke up the next morning with a massive hangover and a pounding head.
“Bake,” who
may have been trolling the site, jumped into the thread posted Friday. “My
paycheck just went down. So did my wife’s. This hurts us. But everybody says
it’s a good thing, so I guess we just suck it up and get used to it. I call it
a tax increase on the middle class. I wonder what they call it. Somebody on
this thread called it a ‘premium.’ Nope. It’s a tax, and it just went up.”
