Quoting part of a conversation on the same page of the same thread is a type of jouranlism? lol.

Of course I was merely trying to be concise and could have made the same point with a longer quote thusly:

Seemingly to illustrate Kevin’s point about how dense the people are in the Republican bubble, you came in on cue saying,

Droopy wrote:A Google search for a tax cut of 2%, implemented by Obama, brings up exactly nothing. Which "tax cut" was this, and why is it in any sense significant, as opposed to permanent and meaningful reductions in marginal tax rates?

Obama never "cut taxes" at all, for anybody, ever, in any real or effectual sense. Those initiatives he and his panting lapdog media shills called "tax cuts" were actually never anything more than temporary reductions and gimmicks, and a tiny reduction of tax liability and tax rebates over a brief time window are not "tax cuts" in any substantive sense, and do not generate increased economic activity.


This was in response to Kevin correctly claiming that a specific tax holiday had been implemented, and can only be read as a denial that the tax holiday ever happened.
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

Only someone who either doesn't currently earn a paycheck, and hence, saw no relief from the payroll tax holiday, or someone whose paycheck is so astonishingly small that the relief was minute would make such a statement.

Well I sure appreciated the extra $2000 or so that I kept the past two years. Thank you Mr. Boehner-yes tax law starts in congress, and thank you President Obama for signing the bill.

Yeah, apparently that didn't count as raising taxes on the middle-class.

You're telling me Boehner was the guy who proposed that tax cut?
