Summary of the President's remarks on Monday.
[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Found on Facebook:
Summary/paraphrasing of Obama's remarks on 7/9/2012:
"Trickle down doesn't work. Get over it. Here is the bill I want on my desk tomorrow.
The other side will say 'Nooo! Don't raise taxes on job creators!' but the fact is that small businesses ARE the job creators.
So, let the Bush tax cuts EXPIRE (which is not a raise or reduction, it's an expiration, that's why it's called an expiration), EXCEPT for families making under $250,000.
By the way, I've given tax breaks to middle class families 18 times already. Kthx."
Also check out this chart which makes anyone talking about healthcare being the biggest tax ever sound like a big idiot.
That's about wraps it up, I think!
