re: #489 lawhawk

I’ll remind you of semantics when you bash Bush tax cuts from 2001 and 2003, which lowered the tax rates of all taxpayers, including those making less than $50,000 as well as those making more.

Don’t use semantics. Use statistics. How much did those nice folks earning less than $50,000 get and how much did those hardworking titans making $250,000 and more get?

re: #480 Obdicut
And ignoring that tobacco hike when Obama repeatedly claimed that he wouldn’t raise taxes on the “middle class” is similarly silly. Who do you think actually got hit the most with that tax hike? *hint* it wasn’t the rich.

It was the smokers.
