Are you 'angry' over the end of the payroll tax holiday?

[Hekate]

37. No. BUSH left this stink bomb for the next president to deal with.

I was pissed off at Bush for 1) sending everybody $300 out of the surplus, thereby reducing it considerably, and 2) giving the uber-rich a big tax cut, the rest of us a small tax cut, and the payroll tax "holiday" that did nothing but deplete the Treasury further.

Bush sweetly left this stink bomb for the next president to deal with: it had a sunset date of a decade away. Given the short attention span of the American people and given that apparently a lot of them can't add and subtract without taking off their shoes, Bush knew that the next president, no matter who he was, would be vociferously blamed for a tax increase.

I gave my $300 to a couple of liberal causes locally, but it left a very bitter taste in my mouth.

We seem lately to have a lot of vewy vewy concerned newbies who are oh-so-distressed that a few bucks more are being taken out of their checks, AND IT'S ALL OBAMA'S FAULT HE LIED HE'S EVIL.

What a convenient coinkydink that Rush and his ilk can then read such drivel on-air to demonstrate that Democrats at DU are upset at Obama because he lied he's evil blah blah blah.

Anyone who likes can quote this little opinionated history lesson.
