The Tax Break Will Give Tax Payers $40 per Paycheck

The tax break Obama is bragging about will only give $40 per paycheck. The president isn't hiding it. Obama has a White House website where the American people can share what a $40 paycheck means to them. Honestly, I want to say it, but I would have the FBI and CIA knocking at my door. LOL

(WhiteHouse Dossier) President Obama is stepping up his PR war against House Republicans with a just-scheduled 12:15 pm ET appearance at the White House to tout a new campaign highlighting the tax break families will lose if the partial payroll tax holiday is not extended. From the White House: In the afternoon, the President will continue to urge House Republicans to do what’s right for the American people by allowing a vote on the short term bipartisan compromise passed by almost the entire Senate. If Congress fails to extend the payroll tax cut, the typical family making $50,000 a year will have about $40 less to spend or save with each paycheck. Obama will point people to a new section of the White House website where they can “share what a $40 paycheck means to them.” In addition, he’ll urge them to make use of a new Twitter hashtag, #40dollars. The White House has also rounded up a group of citizens “who would see their taxes go up” to appear alongside Obama. Unclear if they’ll recite their assuredly heart-rending tales of prospective woe. Obama has been demanding that House Republicans move a two-month payroll tax cut extension approved by the Senate. Obama today will leave unsaid, of course, that everyone’s taxes will also go up if the Senate fails to return and act on the House-passed year-long payroll tax cut extension.
