AP again unravels lie about so-called Bush ‘tax cuts for the wealthy’

Democrats are great at messaging a pro-Democrat media, and there’s no better example than the oft-heard phrase, “the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.”

How many times have you heard reporters repeat that Democrat talking term?

Even Fox News’ Chris Wallace managed to fall for the brainwashing. He used the term during his interrogation of Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan on Sunday.

AP admits tax hike will affect all—somebody tell Obama and the Democrats

It only took poli-class media a year to tell Americans what The US Report claimed all along—those ‘Bush Tax Cuts’ (allegedly) ‘for the wealthy’ did indeed, the Associated Press now confirms, lower “marginal income tax rates at every level.”

And despite the fact President Barack Obama and fellow Democrats have repeatedly and obsessively implied those tax cuts were only “for the wealthy,” Obama now accuses Republicans of holding middle-class tax relief “hostage.”

Troubling truths for Democrats about the ‘Bush Tax Cuts’

The late Democrat senator Robert Byrd was the king of earmarks.Live long enough and you’ll learn one thing. The US Congress likes to spend money. For many years the mark of a good congressman was how much pork he could send home. There’s only one way to sustain that model and that is by increasing taxes, effectively moving private sector dollars into the hands of government bureaucrats. The king of the earmark model was the late Sen. Robert Byrd (D-West Va.), a former Ku Klux Klan member, who earmarked more than $1 billion for his buddies back home.

Public records also show that President Barack Obama, as a short term US senator, was also skilled at earmarks. He contributed to the deficit he condemns at present. What really happens when Congress enacts a tax increase?

Democrats’ tax increase shows lack of concern for Main Street, small business

Rep. Mike Pence delivered the weekly Republican address July 24. Pence said, "Washington D.C. doesn't tax too little. Washington D.C. spends too much. I don't know anybody back in Indiana who thinks they pay too little in taxes. Only in Washington D.C. would anyone believe raising taxes creates jobs."Some financial analysts seem to think the problem with the US economic recovery boils down to a lack of confidence. US Senate candidate Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) alludes to uncertainty—he said the rhetoric coming out of Washington has a “negative overall impact” that creates a discouraging environment. Democrat enthusiasm for a tax increase does little to stem the negativity.

No one seems to know exactly what the Congress and President Barack Obama’s administration are going to do next. No one knows what their actions will cost. And thus far, every action by Democrats controlling the government points to a serious lack of concern for Main Street and small business.

Add to the mix the fact we can’t trust national branded media whose employees conspired to impact the 2008 presidential election, and you have a perfect storm of distrust.

Leftwing lies about taxing the wealthy

By Kay B. Day

You should laugh when you read about President Barack Obama’s tax increases in some dinosaur media allied with Democrats for as long as I can remember. For example, my hometown newspaper—normally viewed as fairly conservative—carried a headline on the front page, above the fold on Monday: “Tax increase for wealthy about to start.”

That header is only half true. The story is reprinted from The Chicago Tribune.

Obama and his fellow redistributors of wealth refuse to own up to a tax increase that will hit more than the wealthy. Democrats call this increase letting the ‘Bush tax cuts for the wealthy’ expire.
