Obama: I’ve Already Cut Taxes

by Lebowski on April 16, 2009

In a response to to the tea party protests, President Obama has said that he already delieved a big tax cut.

Huh?

According to Marketwatch: “Obliquely answering the hundreds of “tea bag” protests around the country on tax day, President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he’s already delivered the most progressive tax cut in history, with 95% of families getting a tax break in every paycheck.

Americans need a “government that is working to create jobs and opportunity for them, rather than simply giving more and more to those at the very top in the false hope that wealth will trickle down,” Obama said.
In his remarks, Obama decried the use of taxes as a political wedge issue “to scare people into supporting policies that increased the burden on working people instead of helping them live their dreams.”
“We start from the simple premise that we should reduce the tax burden on working people, while helping Americans go to college, own a home, raise a family, start a business and save for retirement,” Obama said.
Funny, that no one I know received a tax break.
