A friend's professor told him Obama will be taxing the middle
class $9000. What is the significance of this particular figure? Where did that come from?

3. your friends "professor" is a spiteful koolade drinking asshole that
can't get over the fact that the repukes were colossally wrong and now the adults are in charge and they are scared shitless. They have all been caught with their hands are in the cookie jar and they are worried.

5. This is what righties accuse liberal professors of doing
Teaching whatever supports an ideology, not truth.

4. Well if you'll note, each digit in that figure has few spiky edges...
...no 1's or 4's, just the roundness of the 9 and the 0.

This is for the sake of comfort as the number is PULLED OUT OF HIS ASS.

7. Many memes are floated before elections to get people to vote against their best interest.
Just a week ago I spoke to an acquaintance who heard that Obama was going to tax him (lower middle class) to pay for medical care for illegal aliens.

The weak minded are easy pickings for talk radio and other propagandists.

10. ROFL! He's A Ditto Head! That's Limbaugh's Talking Point Today
You would think a professor would know better than to take Rush Limbaugh as gospel.
