2. This is the big myth the RW/Tea Baggers keep pushing and having the media
fall along right behind them. There has been a tax cut (modest, I admit) for many, if not, most Americans. But the myth is that Obama has raised taxes and we are headed for Socialism.

Another Bull-Market Year?

By: Larry Kudlow
CNBC Anchor

The key question facing investors right now — on the anniversary of a record-breaking stock surge, the best in 75 years — is whether we’re headed for a second bull-market year?

It’s a battle royale between rising corporate profits — which are the mother’s milk of stocks, business, and economic growth — and the high-tax policies pouring out of Washington, aimed at capital gains, dividends, top earners, banks, foreign earnings, and financial transactions.

It’s a miserable list of tax hikes.

Then, of course, there’s the looming specter of Obamacare, with all of its high taxes, spending, and regulatory burdens to control almost 20 percent of our nation’s economy. My CNBC pal Jim Cramer says the passage of Obamacare could really damage the bull market. He makes an important point, one with which I totally agree.

Right now, it’s big government versus the free market.

7. When the American Recovery Act was put into place a substantial tax cut was a part of it
However, it only last until January of this year. Taxes are right back where they were before Obama came to Office.

4. Neighbor was ranting and cussing "where's MY tax refund, Obama!"
She works just a couple hours a week. She did not have any fed income taxes with held, but she is whining because she doesn't get a refund with Obama's big tax plan for working people. :banghead:
