Reply #8: Obama just had to walk away from the tax issue

You can say that most taxpayers would notice the increase, but I believe that most taxpayers never noticed the decrease in the first place. If they had, it would have been a bigger issue in 2010 elections than it was. Nobody noticed.

You, and many others, believe American citizens are monitoring every paycheck line by line, but most are just too tired, and unaware. While $5 - 10 per paycheck may be a Washington DC talking point. Sarah Palin just shot a caribou!!!111!! grabs most of them far more. And she's trumpeting the deficit. Over and over. As are the Rethugs.

They have their cake and eat it too. The message is now that they saved the "economy" with jobs-creating tax cuts", (while the impact on the deficit is ignored for now).
