Truth Hurts

Truth:  About 46.4% of US households paid no federal income taxes in 2011.  So nearly half of us WILL NOT see higher income taxes after our fall off the fiscal cliff.  (Tax Policy Center)

Truth:  We DO NOT have a revenue problem.  If Obama gets his 40% on tax payers reporting $250,000 and more, the difference in revenues will cover less than 2 weeks of our expenses.

Truth:  Upon his nomination for secretary of the Department of the Treasury in 2008, it emerged that Tim Geithner had not paid $35,000 in self-employment taxes from 2001-2004.  The media dictates our vetting process.  The light of blame was centered on his use of software.

Truth:  Obama served as a Senior Lecturer and never a law professor at the University of Chicago.  There are more mysteries around his formal education and claims.

Truth:  Working Americans will face a 2% increase in their first 2013 pay check.  FICA withholding returns to 6.2% from the 4.2% we have experienced these past two years.

Keep seeking the truth.
