Some folks lie by Commission and others by Omission..liberals do both !
This whining is an excellent example of "lying by omission". A newspaper from the closest city to me (about 45 miles) printed the story this morning. Although it is a liberal rag and headlined it with "Republicans raise taxes on middle class"..at least they had enough integrity to tell the whole story...
The "taxes" they wanted to cut was a TEMPORARY relief from the 'payroll taxes' which are paid by those who PAY NO income taxes ! The taxes in question are FICA, Medicare, unemployment etc., things which insure the payer of benefits.
The congress voted the break so these people could 'skate' for a time on paying for these benefits. Time has run out and it is now time to revert back to the regular schedule..where they pay their fair share for their own benefits.
Junior; you as well as other liberals say the taxes are going to be raised on the "middle class" ! Well, I'm retired and barely middle class..but I still pay taxes.
Do you think these particular middle class people should not pay any taxes, income or otherwise....or are the liberals lying when they say these people are middle class ?
We should always check behind liberals. Clearly, they are inclined to 'make up' facts and figures , as well as to lie by omission.
BTW: You must have a short memory..Obama cut our social security..remember a $250 check one time..then no cost-of-living adjustment for years. He must have seen his inflation coming !
