Yay! Another Obama tax cut!
Earlier this morning, Old Trooper sent us a link about the Department of Agricuture’s impending Christmas Tree Tax which was $.15 levied on each purchase. The tax would be used to promote the Christmas tree industry – like there’s some Americans who don’t know about Christmas trees yet and that tax would allow the industry to finally reach those ignorant potential consumers.
Well, now I see from Fox News that that the Obama Administration has swooped in at the last minute and rescued we the informed Christmas tree consumers from the oppressive tax just in time for the season.
“I can tell you unequivocally that the Obama administration is not taxing Christmas trees. What’s being talked about here is an industry group deciding to impose fees on itself to fund a promotional campaign, similar to how the dairy producers have created the ‘Got Milk?’ campaign,” he said. “That said, USDA is going to delay implementation and revisit this action.”
So like jobs “saved or created” this will be counted in the President’s “tax cut” math come election season next year I suppose.

So you’re saying that Obama hasn’t cut taxes, or that you just don’t want to admit that he’s cut taxes because that’s your binky and Democrats aren’t allowed to have it?
well he hasn’t cut taxes. “extending the bush tax cuts” isn’t CUTTING taxes at all. Its keeping them at the same rate. C’mon now I thought you knew that.
No, he has cut taxes. No, i was NOT counting the Bush tax cuts extension at all. Thirty percent of the hated stimulus package was tax cuts. He also cut payrole taxes which saves the average worker 934. He also provided the American Opportunity tax credit which I myself take advantate of, he increased the earned income tax credit and the child tax credit.
But i guess tax cuts don’t count if they’re helping poor and middle class? Or, you know, anyone with a job.
He only cut taxes on things like Unions “Green Jobs” whatever the hell those are anymore, and causes celeb of the left. In actuality, he’s raised taxes and COL throughout this fair Union.
I just gave you a list of tax cuts, none of them are unions, none of them are green jobs. I even told you that i have taken advantage of a tax credit to pay for schooling. You can have your own oppinion but you can’t have your own set of facts. Barack Obama did lower taxes for the vast majority of Americans. The only tax hike i’m aware of was a small increase for those making over 250k to pay for the Affordable care act.
In fact, an extension of the Obama Payroll tax is being blocked right now, by Republicans. Why are Republican’s always trying to raise taxes? At least if they’re poor and middle class. Of course they don’t call it raising taxes, they call it “broadening the base”. And they don’t even count payroll taxes as taxes until it comes to stealing from the SS fund to pay for a pointless war.
But yeah, you’re “fiscal conservatives”.
“which saves the average worker 934.”. Would that be 934 cents, dollars, drachmas, rubles, centavos, pesos or what?
“In fact, an extension of the Obama Payroll tax is being blocked right now,”. ““We remain gravely concerned that yet another, unacceptable cut to Social Security’s revenue stream appears to be on the table,” a group of 62 House Democrats wrote in a July letter to the president.” From The Hill, on 9-11-11. Yeah, damn those Republicans, er, uh, democrats. You might want to revisit your statement about opinions and sets of facts.
I think that the government should give itself a tax cut based on their job rating. Yeah, a new tax that should be imposed on them that they can cut by doing their jobs. The tax would be five times the current unemployment numbers.
I think there should be a dumb-ass idea tax. You owe us $100 dollars for that last one, flagwaver. Pay up.
