Americans are pissed about the deficit. They're pissed about jobs. They're pissed about taxes. So pissed that they're willing to support totally incompetent nincompoop wingnuts in next week's midterm.
Here's the thing. The Democrats cut the deficit. They created more private sector jobs than all of the Bush years combined. And the Democrats did it all while cutting taxes. The problem is, no one knows about it:
In a troubling sign for Democrats as they head into the midterm elections, their signature tax cut of the past two years, which decreased income taxes by up to $400 a year for individuals and $800 for married couples, has gone largely unnoticed.
In a New York Times/CBS News Poll last month, fewer than one in 10 respondents knew that the Obama administration had lowered taxes for most Americans. Half of those polled said they thought that their taxes had stayed the same, a third thought that their taxes had gone up, and about a tenth said they did not know. As Thom Tillis, a Republican state representative, put it as the dinner wound down here, “This was the tax cut that fell in the woods — nobody heard it.”
Actually, the tax cut was, by design, hard to notice. Faced with evidence that people were more likely to save than spend the tax rebate checks they received during the Bush administration, the Obama administration decided to take a different tack: it arranged for less tax money to be withheld from people’s paychecks.
But whatever. Loud noises! RRROOOOOOWR!
Adding... Uh, Democrats? What's your problem? Sell, sell, SELL!
