Obama supporters shocked, angry

............."With President Obama back in office and his life-saving “fiscal cliff” bill jammed through Congress, the new year has brought a surprising turn of events for his sycophantic supporters.

“What happened that my Social Security withholding’s in my paycheck just went up?” a poster wrote on the liberal site DemocraticUnderground.com. “My paycheck just went down by an amount that I don’t feel comfortable with. I guarantee this decrease is gonna’ hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt those making over 400 grand. What happened?”

Shocker. Democrats who supported the president’s re-election just had NO idea that his steadfast pledge to raise taxes meant that he was really going to raise taxes. They thought he planned to just hit those filthy “1 percenters,” "...............

This is why we should never have had a payroll tax holiday....or the Bush tax cuts. Once you give the people a gift like that, when it expires they view it as a tax increase, not a return to normal taxes. the Tea Party has taught them that little misperception..

However, that over-the-top opinion piece is pretty amusing.

So Archer you support the onerous Clinton tax hikes? Thanks to the Republicans the Bush tax cuts were retained for 98% of Americans. Go GOP! BTW I actually support the end of the payroll tax holiday but it effectively eliminated the minimal wage gains for Americans last year.

There you go....you bought the idea that letting the Bush tax cuts expire is in fact a tax hike. I don't see it that way, the tax cuts were ill advised, and a terrible way to run an economy that was finally showing a surplus that could either be saved for the proverbial rainy day, or used to pay down our debt. I support the Clinton tax rates, and I was appalled when Bush suggested the tax cuts, I couldn't believe any president could be so short sighted. And yes, I disagreed with Obama on extending those rates and the payroll tax holiday.

I'm surprised they let the 2% payroll tax cut expire, I was wrong thinking it would never expire.

I'm not surprised Obama supporters are whining about it.

Stay tuned though, lots more angry whining in your future. See Greece.

The sense I have is that Obama supporters are not turning on him.

Just a couple of examples of people that liked him that did not know their taxes would go up will not sink him. Killing people with robots does not sink him, staying in wars did not sink him, breaking promises constantly does not sink him, it never sinks any of them.

The only thing that will sink him as president is the end of his term.

So the bill negotiated by Reid and McConnell, passed by majorities in the House and Senate that allowed the temporary payroll tax cuts to expire is somehow an Obama tax hike. Can't understand why people call you a troll.

Normal taxes? What the heck are normal taxes?

A constantly growing Government can't continue to grow with out income to keep up with its out of control spending. Those who believed that Barry was only going to go after the 1% got duped. Remember, "we" voted for this, this is what the majority of Amerikans wanted.

Wow. You supported the more draconian Clinton Euro style tax hikes? Amazing. :faint: And even if we follow the Archer Blue Collar Worker Wage Reduction Plan the spending has increased much faster than tax receipts.
