Obama has lied about almost everything for the last four years, and razor sharp Dems are just starting to notice.
“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.

The free candy obviously can’t last forever, no matter how much you soak the evil 1%.
Where I work, we have created entire new departments devoted to nothing other than trying to figure out how to deal with all the new regulations. And they keep coming. As a result, there were massive “layoffs” (firings) of lower level employees, all good paying blue collar jobs. That staff reduction was of course to make room for all the better paying white collar regulatory positions, as well as allow for profits to continue at stockholder expectations. Those of us who remain have taken pay cut after benefit cut after pay cut. As a company we had a very profitable year in 2012. I Wish I could say the same for many of my former coworkers. None of the statist regulation has helped the middle or lower classes, it has only enlarged the bonus checks of the wealthiest, and conned citizens out if their votes.
In the face of all of this, one of my communist coworkers still insists that none of the turmoil here has anything to do with government regulations.
Leftists are insane.
You ain’t seen nothing yet.
“Prepping for Obamacare, Chain Cuts Workers’ Hours
The owner of Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants is putting more workers on part-time status in a test aimed at limiting the impact of looming health coverage requirements.
Darden Restaurants declined to give details but said the test is only in restaurants in four markets across the country. The test entails increasing the number of workers on part-time status, meaning they work less than 30 hours a week. Under the new health care act, companies will be required to provide health care to full-time employees by 2014. That would significantly boost labor costs for businesses.”

Dimcrats waking to reality from a long slumber is not a pretty sight. Another news flash to those coming into full consciousness: Obama is destroying the middle class. Whether you voted for him or not is irrelevant.
As Baroness Thatcher remarked – The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.
Good! If the Dems are getting flamed from the left for this stealth tax rise they’ll never ever support a carbon (dioxide) tax, which will hit them even worse. Pollies have long memories for things which voters hate.
Y, the “regulations don’t increase costs to business” meme Obamacrats argue is truly laughable.
Obama did not lie, it is just Bush’s fault.
Wait until the price of electricity rises as power companies close the coal powered generating plants. The close-downs have started –
From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia Power said Monday it will shut down 15 coal and oil-fired units, cutting nearly one-sixth of its power grid capacity to comply with federal rules aimed at reducing air pollution.

Well it’s only a few lay-off but there will be so many green jobs coming …
