QOTD: "Cosmic visions of society are not just visions about society. They are visions about those people who hold these visions and the role of such people in society, whether these people are deemed to be leaders of a master race, the vanguard of the proletariat, saviors of the planet, or to have some other similarly self-flattering role as an anointed visionary group ‘making a difference’ in the unfolding of history." --Thomas Sowell

Did Barry Downgrayedd just raise taxes and screw ‘working’ folks of $800?
Am I missing something here?
Barry touted his Payroll “taxcut” as a way to pay for the higher gas prices he caused, but he and his Media sycophants conveniently forgot to mention that this PR gimmick that will de-fund Social security was meant to replace the “Making Work Pay” tax credit that has just expired.
The ‘voting present’ President told us that it would add about $40 – but the discontinuation of the “Making Work Pay” will take away $800/Year of that.
Our dear liar wanted to leave the vague impression that this social security de-funding gimmick would mean $40 ‘a paycheck’. But is that $40 per week, every 2 weeks or every month?
As was stated in this posting:
Obama’s Big Deception: $40 Per Paycheck from the Payroll Tax Cut
http://thevirtuousrepublic.com/?p=9770
Okay, now stay with me here. I know some people get payed monthly. Others, biweekly, but a majority of working people get payed weekly, and quite frankly, that is what the White House was banking on. Most people, would assume, that this tax cut was putting $40 per week into their pockets.
You will notice that the White House does nothing to dispel that impression. In fact, it says, the typical family earning $50,000 would see an extra $40 a paycheck. They don’t say a 2% cut in taxes or X dollars a week, but in fact, leave you with the impression, that on a weekly basis, one would see $40 more in their pay and over 52 weeks, that is $2080.
Kiplinger.com has a handy Social Security tax cut calculator that shows the reality for a family earning $50,000 a year.
As an example, if the husband makes $25,000, he gets an extra $10.42 a week in his paycheck.
So for some “working folks” the social security de-funding gimmick “Gave” them $521 and the ending of the “Making Work Pay” gimmick took away $800. Essentially raising taxes in some cases by $279
As I said: Am I missing something here? Or did Downgrayedd just raise taxes and screw ‘working’ folks of $800?
