The country was in trouble, we had to respond. . .we cut taxes for 95% of working Americans, just like I promised we would on the campaign. . .So I, I’ve been a little amused over the past couple of days where people have been having these rallies, about taxes. You would think they would be saying thank you. That’s what you’d think.

Oh those foolish TEA partiers and their crazy notions about our Dear Leader going back on his word about taxes. They are so far off base! Sure, under this administration we’ve seen a 156% hike in the federal cigarette tax, and the passage of Obamacare will mean the implementation of seven tax hikes that affect the sub-$250K earning crowd, but those increases (and any other “increases” you hear about) happened after the 95% pledge took effect under the President’s Making Work Pay tax credit. Nobody ever said how long that pledge would last. In fact, the President did even better than that pledge anyway! That tax credit, which gave average wage earners a whopping $13 per week in 2009, also gave billions to taxpayers who paid no net income taxes at all. That’s right, free money! How’s that for a low tax hit, you silly, misguided TEA party people? Just how many other Presidents have managed to pull of a feat like that?!
