Why do Republicans call it a Tax Hike when 98% of Americans will pay less taxes?

Dip sheet. 98% of Americans do not pay taxes. The bottom 40% do not pay taxes at all but Obama is sending them a welfare check anyway. God you guys are complete jack offs when it comes to economics and taxes.
 
Ah, another fine product of Government Schools.

Only 62% of Americans pay Fed Taxes.

Obama's budget bill will increase the percentage of Non-Fed taxpayers from 38% to 50%.

Then only 50% will be paying for everything. There is no way that is going to happen without massive tax increases to pay for a spending spree that has just surpassed every penny spent by every President from George W. #1 to George W. #43.
 
they just don't get it...and most of the ones in this forum are probably in that 98% too. pretty sad.
 
2% pay 68% of the taxes

40% pay no taxes.

So who is this 98%

The 40% that pay no taxes are going to pay less than 0.
 
I did some simple math, and if you make 250,000 a year, your tax goes up 3%..that works out to about 2.06 a day....Wish I had that problem!!
 
So, is the total amount of tax money going up or down? If it is going up, which it is, it is a hike.

By the way, the government is throwing a bone to the common people to chew on, to keep them happy...until he can justify raising their taxes also.
 
the taxes going down are the employment taxes.....property sales and all other taxes are gonna go up because of all the spending...it is 2 different taxes...you will get more in your check and then pay more at the store so why bother
 
Because of allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire, which in turn will cause taxes to go up.
 
Personally I don't admit to being a genius, but I am intelligent enough to understand that at some point in the near future everyone's taxes are going to be raised.

Eventually the money that is being spent has to be payed back, with interest.

It's a smoke and mirror trick. You get your 13 bucks a pay period and when before you know it, you are being taxed into the stone age.

The tax man is coming and you can take that to the bank.
 
Because 2% of people will be paying higher taxes to give us our break - and that is wrong. Where I come from, it is considered immoral to support a policy that benefits one's self at the expense of other people. If I do get a tax break from Obama's economic plan, I will be donating 100% of it to the Republican party unless he extends his tax break to 100% of the American people instead of just the bottom 98%.

Even worse, those 2% who are paying higher taxes are probably business owners or investors - they will pass that tax hike onto the customers and consumers, who are primarily that 98% of the people paying less taxes. So we will still be paying their taxes, just indirectly rather than directly.

If Obama is going to give a tax break, he should give it across the board, to 100% of Americans, and just slash spending instead of enriching the Chinese balance sheet by borrowing more money from them to hand out to his friends at his weekly Wednesday night parties at the White House.

By the way, you don't have to be a Republican to get this concept. I am not, and I understand it perfectly.
 
its because TECHNICALLY it is a tax hike, for 2% of americans. they get you on that little technical stuff. if you say a lie loud enough it sounds like the truth. reps are idiots anyways and they have no power so why do we care anyways?
 
dude,quickly get new meds...then, do your own research and you will understand. yikes,the country is full public school dumbbells....
 
I already am paying more taxes because he jacked up cigarette taxes. Once he let's the Bush tax cuts expire, I will experience a net increase in my taxes. His will cut subsidies to agriculture which will effectively increase the cost of food, less money in my pocket. Those top two percent pay something like 60% of the bill already. Regardless of how much you hate those evil rich bastards, I think they pay more than their fair share the way it is. I could go on, but I'm tired of Obama blowing sunshine up my butt telling me how much better off I am. He has a 3 trillion dollar budget planned and all I get is $13 a week, which will do nothing as explained above. Pardon me if I'm skeptical of his fiscal prowess.
 
Well when he starts taxing the power company more for carbon points who do you think will end up paying for that ? When he raises fuel prices again ,who will pay more for gas ? The trucking companies will get a big hike in fuel prices where do you think they will get the money to pay for it ? The grocery store pays more for trucking how do they pay for it ? It just goes on and on and all have the same answer ! We do every one of us that buy anything ! Of course Obama has it figured we are all stupid we won't know it is tax we will just blame the gas station, power company, grocery store , that is his form of transparency and personal responsibility . Hope that explains it !
 
It is what it is. You will see someone will pay because you will never get something, from the government, for nothing. Someone always has to pay. Peace
 
My feeling is that they are trying to make sure people hear only the words "tax hike" and react negatively to the plan. It has worked for them so far, as is evidenced by any number of posts I see on YA.

Or, in the words of GW Bush: "See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."
