I think the most ironic part is that 95% of the country is getting a tax cut. So unless every member of those protests is part of that 5%, they are actually protesting Obama's choice to cut their taxes.

I wonder how 95% can get a tax cut when only 50% pay taxes to begin with....

 

If it doesn’t matter if you collect as much money as you spend, why collect taxes at all?

They are protesting, because they know that the math does not work out. When you spend money you don’t have, you have to earn it back at some point. To say we are going to double or triple the expenses, but not take any more taxes from people, reminds us all of the famous saying:

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

When he said “we will cross that bridge when we get to it”, what he really meant was “we will put these programs in place now that become extremely difficult to remove, and then we will raise taxes to pay for them”.

When the people you are manipulating don’t look more then 3 months into the future, it’s easy to sway them.

If that's what this is really about, where were these people for the last 8 years?
