When the Republicans stand up there and say, "Democrats want to tax us more",...who is "us"?

Question

I'm not sure if they were paying attention when Obama AND Hillary said nobody making less than 250k will see a hike in their taxes....but somebody should let Oven Mitt and Rudy in on the facts. Last time I checked, a very SMALL percentage of Americans make more than that amount...do you?

Answer 1

Yeah, when Obama increases the gas taxes like he wants to do, only those who make $250K or more will be able to afford to drive. And when he taxes the small businessman to the point where he can't afford to stay in business, there will be even more people who can't afford to own a house or car.

Those who earn in the top 5% income level, the ones Obama wants to raise taxes on, already pay 60% of the money collected as income taxes

Answer 2

Us refers to the guys giving the speeches.  I have no idea why all the people they talk to want their politicians to pay less taxes.
