Seriously?

Well let me ask you this..... Do you drink? Beer, Liqour, wine? Maybe you smoke the occasional Cigar or you are a Cigarette smoker. Your taxes went up.

Wait until you get back doored with Cap & Trade.... when your utilities go up two fold.

The thing that people don't realize is that Obama's policies lower your Fed Tax but more than make up for it on the back side. It's like when you go buy a car at the dealer. They make more money in the finance office than they do in the showroom.

And then there's the impending inflation tax that will affect most of us. And if not us then our kids and grandchildren. Oh yes, there will be more taxes for all.

Also I for got the tanning booth tax. And then let's not forget that when all of the Corporate taxes kick in and the income tax on the $250K+ club which includes a ton of small businesses goes up you will see the cost of most day to day items go up.

So in the end.... YOUR TAXES HAVE GONE UP, AND THEY WILL KEEP GOING UP.

Look into things past face value.

Don't know, just sayin ...my taxes went down.

The quote supposedly refers to Tax Policy Center info.
Tax Policy Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mine did too.... I think it was worth about $16 every two weeks. Hmmmm what can I get at Taco Bell with that.......

Oh and don't take the home buyer tax break....... You have to pay it back.

Okay well how it USED to be... lol I sold cars in the early 90's before I became a Firefighter.

Also look at your cable and cell phone bill..... there are increases plus new taxes there.

I just don't get it. Nothing is every good enough for the people who are convinced Obama, if not the anti-christ, is an evil communist or something.

Fact: Your taxes went down. So you complain they didn't go down *enough*? I don't understand. How much exactly where you expecting?

Yes, tax on cigarettes and booze went up. But I can tell you for certain that you're still paying half what people in most developed countries are for cigs, and alcohol prices are now about the same, but still less than some places.

I was getting slaughtered on cig prices in Europe and NZ. The prices in the US are like getting them for free.

You are consuming things which make you more likely to wind up in the hospital. That's your choice. Why would you complain when the government makes you *pay* for your choice, considering they are providing the facilities that will have to deal with it? I'm a smoker, and I accept the risk that goes with that, and that my habit is costing society money. So raise the taxes. I made the choice.
