Did you miss out on all the grass roots commentary at the North Mecklenburg Women’s recent Pig Pickin’ and Politickin’ event in Huntersville, NC? (Yes, that’s what they call it.) The New York Times reporter Michael Cooper joined in to get some feedback on their recent polling with CBS.
The opinion of the attending GOP experts on the Big O Tax Hikes: “Federal and state have both gone up,” said Bob Paratore of Charlotte, NC.
Here’s what Americans think according to the September New York Times/CBS News Poll:
24% think taxes went up
53% opined that taxes were the same
12% think Obama actually cut taxes (WHAT???)

Cut to Huntersville: “Tax cuts? Where were the tax cuts?” asked Bob Deaton. Well, while difficult to pin down the exact amount, basically the dreaded stimulus bill changed the withholding rates resulting in tax cuts for about 95% of working families. That income tax decrease was generally $800 annually for married couples and $400 for individuals. Hmmm. That just doesn't seem right: imperial communist dictabor Obama cutting taxes?? I think the Dems need their own Karl Rove, because their Black & White sound bites aren't making it to the people...too much focus on the shades of gray.
All this talk about taxes is making me hungry. Anyone up for a pulled pork sandwich?
Joe, my Daughter directed me here. You will never get far in todays climate. The main reason is because you are listing Facts in your blog.
ReplyDeleteDon't you know that the large Non Fact based community will never get behind you.
Those of us in the Fact Based community will just continue to run head first in to the Tea Party Brick wall.
Nevertheless, I will read your blog with anticipation.
