My mom forwarded this to me today. It was made by a relative of someone she once worked with.
Sums it all up.
Oh. And remember how Obama promised that for 95% of Americans, taxes wouldn’t rise at all. Indeed, the exact quote was:
“What I’ve said is I want to provide a tax cut for 95 percent of working Americans, 95 percent. If you make more — if you make less than a quarter million dollars a year, then you will not see your income tax go up, your capital gains tax go up, your payroll tax. Not one dime.”
Notice the part about “income tax” and notice the part about “not one dime”? Behold this:
The IRS is weighing a proposal to deem one-quarter of employees’ use of work cell phones as personal use and therefore subject to tax as a fringe benefit.
…
Current law already requires that the value of those cell phone services be included in a worker’s gross income, unless the employee keeps detailed records showing that the cell phone is used for work only….
So much for Hope ‘n Change™.
