Mr President...when are you going to spend some of that capitol...looks like I wont have as much to spend myself next year since you are going to raise taxes on my already shitty income.


Under your proposal...


1. I will now have to battle to pay the heating bill.

2. Maybe have to cancel cable tv

3. Eat less healthier foods

4. Do less biz with local merchants.

5. Let the maintenance on my car slide

6. Make less donation to charitys

7. Re-evaluate auto and health insurance

8. Forget the dental work I have been needing.

9. Hope the fridge doesn't break down

and

10. Wont be able to donate to Democrats running for office in 2014.


Thank you Mr. President the excitement of Nov has been flushed down the toilet. I guess you decided to take the path of Im not running again so I face no consequences if I piss my base off instead of saying THANK YOU.

2. But the rich will continue to pay very-low taxes

So it's not all bad.

3. It's like the ending of A Christmas Carol only in reverse.

4. Sure would like a link to that. I just can't imagine any creditable proposal that would do that to

people unless you are reading some republican wish lists.

If I'm wrong, I'll scream to high heaven with you.

5. That doesn't make sense...the changes are for the top brackets.

How can you be so adversely affected and make enough money to be cut?

Or are you complaining about the payroll tax? If so do you want your payments cut by that amount you prefer not to pay?

[Hoyt]

6. Agree. Appears someone is fu&*ing with us.

8. Gee...How long has it been since the Presidential election?....

....The President hasn't even been sworn in yet for his second term and somebody's already complaining??

9. interesting

Obama proposed $1.2 trillion in new revenue, down from his previous offer of $1.4 trillion. And he offered $1.2 trillion in spending cuts, including $400 billion in entitlement savings, which is an increase of $50 billion

[DJ13]

10. But wait! Theres more!

"The proposal is not a final offer, but the White House views it as a “good offer” that gets them close to reaching a deal because they have met Republicans more than halfway on spending and halfway on revenues, the source said."


So it will probably be an even bigger sell out by the time this is finalized.

11. .

12. 2 and 6-10 are already a reality for me.

You don't see me complaining.

13. You should probably save for your teeth before donating to charity anyway.

Dental work is important.
