Obama Mocks Tax Cuts

Do you feel like you're taxed enough already? Do you feel like you work for the government more and more each year, rather than yourself? Do you feel like you should be able to keep more of your own money while the government takes less? If so, President Obama mocked you today at a campaign event in Ohio.

In his Eden Park speech, Obama mocked the Republicans for having only one answer for everything.

“Tax cuts in good times, tax cuts in bad times. Tax cuts in peace, tax cuts in war. Want to make a plane reservation? You don't need a new iPhone, try a tax cut."

It is very clear Mr. Obama doesn't understand these simple concepts:

-Unemployment is sitting at 8.1 percent, 23 million people are out of work

-The more businesses pay in taxes, the less money they have to pay employees = less jobs

-Less taxes = more money for paying employees = more jobs = less unemployment
