CURL: Obama supporters shocked, angry at new tax increases

Sometimes, watching a Democrat learn something is wonderful, like seeing the family dog finally sit and stay at your command.

With President Obama back in office and his life-saving “fiscal cliff” bill jammed through Congress, the new year has brought a surprising turn of events for his sycophantic supporters.

“What happened that my Social Security withholding’s in my paycheck just went up?” a poster wrote on the liberal site DemocraticUnderground.com. “My paycheck just went down by an amount that I don’t feel comfortable with. I guarantee this decrease is gonna’ hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt those making over 400 grand. What happened?”

Shocker. Democrats who supported the president’s re-election just had NO idea that his steadfast pledge to raise taxes meant that he was really going to raise taxes. They thought he planned to just hit those filthy “1 percenters,” you know, the ones who earned fortunes through their inventiveness and hard work. They thought the free ride would continue forever.

2001-2009: anyone who complained about their take home pay was a patriot, just trying to lexist in the Bush economy. 2009 forward, anyone who complains about take home is a TROLL.

****ing trolls put here to help the Moonie Times and Dreck get hits.

And not one word is said about how the RWNJs who started those threads were taken to the woodshed about their ignorance and idiocy.

     So, to recap, their response to all the attention is to call everyone a troll. Which means the official DU position is as follows: "We KNEW it was expiring and WE LOVE IT. The extra money coming out of our checks is JUST FINE WITH US and IT CREATES NO HARDSHIP AT ALL."

     Um, yeah, DUmmies. Whatever gets you through the night. Enjoy the pride of ownership.

It's funny that inauguration/Groundhog Day hasn't even arrived yet, and the progs are already eating their own...........

Shocker. Democrats who supported the president’s re-election just had NO idea that his steadfast pledge to raise taxes meant that he was really going to raise taxes. They thought he planned to just hit those filthy “1 percenters,” you know, the ones who earned fortunes through their inventiveness and hard work. They thought the free ride would continue forever.

So this week, as taxes went up for millions of Americans — which Republicans predicted throughout the campaign would happen — it was fun to watch the agoggery of the left.

“I know to expect between $93 and $94 less in my paycheck on the 15th,” wrote the ironically named “RomneyLies.”

“My boyfriend has had a lot of expenses and is feeling squeezed right now, and having his paycheck shrink really didn’t help,” wrote “DemocratToTheEnd.”

“BlueIndyBlue” added: “Many of my friends didn’t realize it, either. Our payroll department didn’t do a good job of explaining the coming changes.”

So let’s explain something to our ill-informed Democratic friends. In 2009, Mr. Obama enacted a “holiday” on the payroll tax deduction from employees’ paychecks, dropping the rate from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent. But like the holidays, the drop ended, and like New Year‘s, the revelers woke up the next morning with a massive hangover and a pounding head.

“Bake,” who may have been trolling the site, jumped into the thread posted Friday. “My paycheck just went down. So did my wife’s. This hurts us. But everybody says it’s a good thing, so I guess we just suck it up and get used to it. I call it a tax increase on the middle class. I wonder what they call it. Somebody on this thread called it a ‘premium.’ Nope. It’s a tax, and it just went up.”

From the comments section at the Washington Times

You simply can not fix stupid!

"Why the f*** did I vote for obama?"
Um, because you're an idiot.
That guy will be just as shocked when zero tries to take his great grand dad's hunting rifle. Low information voter is a major understatement.

Just wait until the real Obamacare taxes hit next year. You think this is howling? Next year will be glorious.

And I can't wait. He had those saps right where he wanted them, not telling them a thing until after he got their vote & true to form, he is turning his back on each 1 of them & they are still stupid enough to believe the shat that fly's out of his mouth.

What a bunch of total idiots...after clearly being a total failure in office, a veritable disaster for America, the bulk of the country votes Obama back in. Duh....enjoy yourselves...you have NO ONE to Blame but Yourselves! He had already shown time and time again that he was a serial liar, telling one fairytale one day and another the opposite of it the next. His SOLE reason for living is to try to stay in office even while being Incompetent....that and trying desperate to "look Presidential." You know, rolled up sleeves and the Solemn Obama Pose. Its sickening...I can't imagine how divided and destitute America will be after a few more years of Obama working his magic on the nation. Dear Lord, get him a job in some small town somewhere, preferably where he can do no damage. Let him make speeches all day and night long and play applause clips for him in the background. Now put on your crown Emperor Obama...I am embarrassed for this individual who hasn't a CLUE as to how to govern the nation. This administration simply has NEVER HAD ANY SENSE OF DIRECTION WHATSOEVER. It is RUDDERLESS....

[JohnnyReb]

HELP! I've fallen and I can't get up.................sorry, nothing meaningful, just laughing at the DUmmies.

Nice try but no they were not.

Wonder how NCtraveler is liking what happens to a poor,dedicated comrade in arms until they screw up in the authoriatrian world of the left.

Take a lesson lurking DUmbasses...if your socialist dreams of utopia were ever real you all would not last 6 months before being in a gulag or simply shot.

I said the same thing the other day ("...the NCTraveler primitive will either be axed or will be looked at suspiciously."), but to this point oddly enough, nothing.  I did read where she was "asked" by two primitives to self-delete her post, the claim being it was attracting too many trolls, the truth being it clearly demonstrated how dumb they are.  Seeing as the NCTraveler primitive did what she was ordered to do by the powers that be on Skin's island and deleted the post, then compliance at least bought her some time.

But her initial stupidity, then picked up and repeated in the thread she started by the overwhelming amount of stupid that makes up liberalism in general, has certainly further cemented liberals as being the most stupid people that have ever lived.

As is the fate of all "revolutionaries".  Ah, if only the dead in post revolutionary France and Stalinist Russia could talk...

RomneyLies... love that name, especially when I consider that Obama said he would not raise the pay roll tax and then promptly raised the pay roll tax.

14. This was very obviously a troll operation from start to finish

Post some complaints on a left/Dem board, then point to the complaints and laugh. Or something.
 
The whole thing is juvenile and stupid. It shows just how far the conservatives have fallen that this is the sort of stupidity that they get excited about.

17. IIRC freepers call that type of post a "bouncy".

I was surprised that so many DUers took the post at face value. It just seemed "off" to me straightaway.
 
So I searched on the username and "fiscal cliff" and found an OP by the same poster which showed that they knew *exactly* what had happened (in fact I don't believe the poster even received their paycheck on that date, it was just a useful frame for a fake anecdote IMO).

29. It was a concern troll from the start

They knew the temp cut was coming to an end. They discussed it in past posts about the "cliff"

They're all saying it was a "concern troll."  Well primitives, that concern troll is...

NCTraveler

... and not a single one of you are after her head.  Not in Meta, not in GD, nowhere.  You want to claim it wasn't one of your own, but then not a single one of you are doing anything to rid yourself of the very one you claim was a troll sent to set you up, which is most unlike you.  Usually you dolts are all about ridding the board of trolls.  But in this case, NCTraveler is walking among you and you ignore her.

Which tells me and everyone else that you KNOW she's not a troll.

Face it, you idiots were caught looking stupid .......again.  We document it here everyday.  It's just not as often that you dimwits get national attention.  But it's good when it happens.

I'm smarter than everyone you of primitives combined.

46. Wow, I've never seen the M$M so desperate that they have to pull a PSYOPs just in order to get some news for their side!!!

Putrid RWing trolls out there know...they can never win we have the truth on our side. They have to grasp at straws (like they did here) just to try and make sure their brain-dead followers keep throwing money at them!

This dimwit pops over here from time to time to see how much fun we're having at his expense.

Hey primitive:   This:

-------------> NCTraveler <-----------------

.... is your "PSYOPs" originator.  She's walking around freely after having started that thread which has so mocked you.

Kill!!

(Yeah, I know I'm taking the risk realizing that the Rex primitive has little, if any, backbone, and absolutely no ability to think for himself, but maybe one day pointing out the obvious will stick on some issue.  And that NCTraveler is the "concern troll" that started the dustup and is still there is about as obvious as it gets.)

You know, and I'm not saying it did happen, but it would not surprise me in the infinitesimal least; if someone from the Obinga Junta or the NSDAPDNC contacted the (D)Umbass Traveler primitive chastising he/sh/it for a lack of proper faith in His Royal Sandtrapness.

Not. at. all.

Starting out something like:  "....and this conversation never occurred."

     Lurking DUmmies, for as much as you claim to disregard Rush, he sure can make you spin yourselves into a tornado of your own shit.

My moonbat brother told me this past christmas that Rush doesn't deserve $50 million a year (I have no idea how much Rush makes, this was the amount my brother claimed he makes). I laughed and told him obviously he does, otherwise he wouldn't have advertisers that pay him the "$50 million" you claim he makes.

They sure talk a lot about a man they say is irrelevant.

It made the Raleigh, NC talk radio circuit this morning.

A good laugh was had by the whole state.

Limbaugh is among the highest paid people in U.S. media, signing a contract in 2008 for $400 million through 2016.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh

I actually didn't know that, I thought he signed a $20 Million contract a few years ago, but maybe that was early 2000.  I was gonna prove your moonbat brother wrong, but I guess in this instance he is right.

I'm sure Rachel told him. Somehow liberals always seem to know...and focus on the amount other people make. Instead of worrying about themselves.
