Isn't it 40 dollars a week? That is not insignificant for many people in the US.

Also FUCK everyone in DC, they are FUCKING retarded.

yes (assuming you make 50k as a household).

Tacit advocation for the redistribution of wealth by deadcode?

Also I did some research to see if what deadcode said was true about Obama only wanting the tax cut for 3 months. The truth is closer to what lpc is saying - house republicans simply don't want to do anything that will help the economy/middleclass. I mean if the entire situation didn't raise eyebrows before - the republicans cut the cameras off for C-Span when the democrat whip tried bringing the issue up for a vote.

That's like a page out of the Communist Party playbook.

My point isn't that $40 dollars doesn't mean anything. It's that you are carrying the water of a President who has raised taxes much more than $40 a week on citizens (and don't even get me started on how savings are being pillaged with inflation).

Yet; now; he has decided to propagandize about how people won't get $40 dollars. It's obvious political posturing by both the GOP and Obama admin.

Sorry to patronize you; but if you think Obama is actually standing up for taxpayers; and not just playing politics; then I have a bridge to sell you.

{{a President who has raised taxes much more than $40 a week on citizens (and don't even get me started on how savings are being pillaged with inflation). }}

could you say... name some of these tax hikes on citizens?

furthermore could you explain obama's contribution to inflation in respect this: http://sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/news/?id=9e2a4ea8-6e73-4be2-a753-62060dcbb3c3

that 16 trillion by the way came out of thin air and happened to take place during to take place under the bush administration's either negligence, ignorance or approval. to put that in perspective for you deadcode, that's over a trillion more dollars than every single american receives in yearly income (our GDP).

Here is FactCheck.org debunking Obama's claim to no tax increases. Hello... ObamaCare is financed almost entirely via increased taxes. Not to mention increased excise taxes.

I'm glad to see you agree that Obama and Bush have a hand in the huge inflation.

nice question dodge, not unlike what ron paul pulled when confronted with his racist newsletter.

And seriously dead, this is what you're purporting as "a President who has raised taxes much more than $40 a week on citizens":

{But it’s not accurate for the president to make the blanket statement: "I didn’t raise taxes once."

A little more than two weeks after taking office, Obama signed into law a bill expanding the Children’s Health Insurance Program. That was financed in part by an increase in the federal excise tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products; it went into effect on April 1, 2009.

There were also several tax increases included in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as the health care law. The biggest tax in the law is an extra 3.8 percent tax on investment income, which applies to persons making more than $200,000 a year or couples making more than $250,000. That one starts in 2013, and is expected to bring in $210 billion through 2019, when coupled with a 0.9 percent increase in the Medicare payroll tax for upper-income earners. But other taxes, like the new 10 percent tax on indoor tanning services, have started already.}

that's not even close to $40 flat tax on every American. Such a tax would raise approximately 13.3 billion in one year. Don't you think you're being intellectual disingenuous here?
