Obama tells employers to fork over our whopping tax cut
Obama told employers to start giving us our tax cut in April in his weekly radio address today. So that weekly extra thirteen bucks will begin flowing into the economy sooner. Now that money will be burning a hole in our collective pocket, we’ll be able to pay our mortgages, buy gas for our cars…heck, now we can even afford a new car. All thanks to Obama (praise be to him).
Oh, by the way, that’s thirteen bucks if you’re married and filing jointly – six bucks if you’re not married. And I don’t care what the media says, the way I read the whole “tax credit” thing, it works out to a buck-and-a-half if you’re in the 10% tax bracket (under $60k/yr combined income).
I’d rather see the contribution limits raised for qualified IRAs and 401ks – that’s the main reason my taxes are lower by more than half since 2001 (and I make twice as much money as I did then). Not only that, it’d help me recover some of my losses from last year in my retirement accounts – it also puts my earnings out of reach of the government for a few more years.
Yesterday, Obama tried to bully the governors by threatening them if they squandered their stimulus money, and today it’s employers. Who is going to be next?
How about threatening those people who aren’t paying their mortgages and credit card bills?

While the optomist in me hopes for the best, I think that Prez Husseins statement below pretty well sums it up:
“But today does mark the beginning of the end.” –President Barack Obama on signing the stimulus bill into law
Don’t get much clearer than that, does it?
nuf sed
A buck and a half a week? That’ll cover the cost of my Sunday paper. I buy it for the TV listings and the comics. But that could provide a stimulus for the “Help Wanted” section, too!
$13 doesn’t even buy a decent compact disc.
$13 bucks worth of tax credit don’t even getcha a blowjob…..Not even from my ex wife and she used to be a high class whore.
Don’t depend on the X wife for a BJ. Make the trip to any corner and find a democrat. They are permanently puckered up.
