Desperate DUer Self-Deletion After Rush Reveals Tax Complaint Post

By P.J. Gladnick | January 06, 2013 | 14:37

Imagine the situation of poor DUer NCTraveler. He makes a post at the Democratic Underground complaining about the increase in 2013 taxes that now takes a bigger chunk out of his paycheck. No big deal he must have thought. Just another post among thousands. In fact, he probably forgot about the post by the next day...until Rush Limbaugh read it for all the world to hear and laugh at. Now panic sets in and NCTraveler, desperate to avoid more mockery, self-deletes his post so as to remove the "incriminating evidence" of his laughable absurdity.

Too late. Rush Limbaugh not only read out his post on the air but placed a transcript on his website of his comments along with NCTraveler's tax complaint which preserved it in EIB amber for all eternity. Here is what El Rushbo said:


This is hilarious. As you know, ladies and gentlemen, beginning with the first day of the year, and because of the fiscal cliff deal, the temporary partial tax cut on the Social Security tax expired. There was a temporary partial exemption on the payroll tax. I've been asked if most people noticed it. They didn't notice it until they were told about it. It added up to, depending on your income, it could be a thousand dollars a year that you had extra because of this partial tax. Anyway, on January 1, that partial temporary tax cut expired, and now everybody's payroll taxes are back up to 100% of what it should be, which is 13%. The employer pays half and the employee pays half. The employee pays it all but that's too complicated even for people who understand the economy.

Anyway, here's the thing, what happened here. The first paychecks for the new year for some people have gone out and they have noticed that their paychecks are smaller. And somebody went to Democrat Underground, somebody got the idea to go there and just troll and look around, and one of the first posts in Democrat Underground last night was this: "What happened that my Social Security withholding's in my paycheck just went up? 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?"

The average Democrat who was out there applauding the tax increase on the rich discovered smaller take-home pay in his first paycheck. What the hell happened? So he looked into it and he found out that his payroll tax is now gone back up to what it should have been all along, the temporary partial deduction expired, and his take-home pay is less. He thought only millionaires and billionaires are gonna be paying more in taxes. We tried to warn everybody here that the middle class was gonna have a tax increase because the payroll tax deduction expired, and it was going back to full boat, 6.2% employee pay, 6.2 employer pay. The 6.2 employee payment was 4.2 for the last year or two. But now it's back up to 6.2, which is gonna mean, depending on your income level, somebody making $75,000 a year, it's $1500 a year taken out of their paycheck that has not been in the past two years.

Anyway, this began a thread at Democrat Underground with all kinds of ticked off Democrats, livid Democrats, and what was hilarious about it was that over half of them were blaming George Bush for it, when it was Obama. It was all Obama! Obama and the Democrats engineered -- and the Republicans went along with this -- the payroll tax cut, which was a temporary partial tax cut on the employee side, but it was restored with the fiscal cliff deal. So paychecks beginning this year, first week of the year, are smaller. And you should see the thread of all these ticked off Democrats who had no idea they were gonna be paying more in taxes. And as part of the thread, there are people trying to explain to them what happened, and some of them understand it, and some of them don't, but they're all livid.

Poor babies...and it's just now January. We'll check back with them periodically and get their reaction to all the other Obama surprises..

Yeah I love going to DU for exactly these sorts of things. Schadenfreude... or more specifically their chickens coming home to roost.

Not just this but layoffs, etc. etc.

Well maybe the DUmmie had his come to Jesus moment. LOL

Ah, but picture it. He not only got outed but by the Devil himself, Rush Limbaugh. Idiot must be hiding under his bed whimpering and sucking his thumb.

Yes, it IS funny!

The dopes at the DUmpter have a tendency to inadvertently swerve into some truth. Then it is immediately scrubbed just like this. They are clowns.

I looked around and at first .. they tried to deny that the post said anything like Rush was saying.

A member (And NOW .. a former member) pointed out that they were looking at and 'denying' the wrong post!

That member is getting torn to shreds now that he/she said that they were leaving the forum!

The 'denial' thread is here .. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022133268

The 'canceling' members post ..

Zitat

This forum is extremely informative. Thanks for that.
I honestly truly appreciate the depth of information I get here. I've learned a lot about Liberal / Democratic ideology, and politics in general. I never really cared about politics until Obama came along. Now I care deeply. I check the site constantly for breaking news and interesting debate. I'd like to extend my gratitude to all who offer opinions here, and to those who created the forum in the first place.

That being said, my naivete has been interpreted several times as trolling, or "peddling," or dishonest in some way, which is simply not the case. It has always been in the interest of better informing myself.

Just want to say that.

I'll be cancelling my membership here.

To all the jerks, good luck in your lives.

To all the nice people, thank you.
