Obama...what are you doing? This is the equivalent to evil Republican tax cuts...except it doesn't favor the rich....oh wait...that explains the outrage......

After all....they need a few more million stacked on top of the millions and billions they have already!! It will create jobs!!

Obama wants to extend Bush's tax cuts, except for individuals making more than $200,000 a year and couples making $250,000.

OMG!!! Redistribution of wealth. Socialism!! We're all GONNA DIE!!!!!!

Tax cuts for everyone but the wealthy! It obviously means that we are all going to die!

Tax cut for 95 percent? The stimulus made it so

And if that's not enough...

Horrid horrid times we live in where 95% of working people are getting a tax cut! Oh the HUMANITY of it all!

You're not counting the tax increases! 3.8% increase on families that make over $150,000 in 2013 to pay for Obamacare. So says my republican rep!

Obama hates upper-middle class America, we should petition a redress of grievances to stop taxing the wealthy and tax their employees more instead, that's the American way!

What's with this horrible relief to taxpayers who are having a hard time?

WHY can't the millionares and billionares get more tax breaks?

I'm sure there will be signs out there tomorrow protesting these evil tax credits (the same as a tax cut essentially).

This thread got so much attention!!! How could the anti-christ do such a thing?
