Good point (none / 0)
They make so many tax arguments by suggesting that the middle class will be hit hard, when in fact (more often than not) THEY'LL be effected, and marginally at that.

Kind of like how they pretend all of these small farms get screwed by the Estate Tax.

not even the half of it (none / 0)
The Clinton surplus that Bush took over was all social security money, yet he used to give a massive tax break to people who don't pay or pay very little social security tax. Just another huge point that our media completely covered up.  

Ya, inheritance (death tax) is another one. If you do any estate planning most of it can be avoided for the majority of tax payers.

Of course, most of the arguments and fear tactics the right wing nuts use are in fact the opposite of what is said, if not completely meaningless all together. My favorite is the complete disconnect between supporting a huge military and actually having to pay for it.

How hard would it have been to tell the chest pumping flag wave morons that if that supporting the troops means paying for the war?

That the dems own fault for not framing the argument. Of course the media is always happy to frame every argument from the right wing perspective, with no supporting facts or context.

funny how (none / 0)
...the right is trying to dump the wars on Obama. Just like Serbia with Clinton, now they want to oppose the war in Afg.

I hate it all.
