Man do i hate it when a jackass two time Bush voter tries to spread a bunch of lies because he is to stupid to research things himself. Here is the so called tax steal you think Obama is trying to mount
In the coverage of President Obama’s tax proposal, New York magazine correctly notes that almost all of the media is forwarding a flat-out lie. The president’s proposal is not a tax cut only for “people earning less than $250,000 a year,” as CNN and everyone else reported it. Instead, as New York mag writes, the Democratic president proposes to let “every family keep their tax cuts on their first $250,000 of taxable income.” That, of course, includes people who make more than $250,000 a year — they too get a tax cut on their first $250,000 of income. For the richest 1 percent of households, that’s a $20,130 tax cut, to be precise.
So are professional political reporters not paying enough attention to know how the progressive tax system works in general, and President Obama’s proposal works in specific? Or are they deliberately misleading readers about what it actually does in order to manufacture a more dramatic storyline about alleged “class warfare”? The tax hike is the money over the 250.000 and i would be willing to bet my last dollar this jackass doesn't make nearly 250,000 a year.
