Fact: Income taxes have decreased
Since Obama took office, 98% of Americans have received a cut in their federal taxes. That's a fact. Fully one-third of the economic recovery act (the stimulus package) consists of tax cuts.
Yet despite these completely objective facts, 1/3rd of Americans think their federal taxes have increased, 50% think they have stayed the same, and eight percent,yes, 8, think that taxes have gone down. EIGHT.
The objective reality is that for 98% of Americans, their federal taxes have decreased. EIGHT PERCENT think they've gotten a tax cut that 98% have actually gotten. Unbe-fucking-lievable. Talk about an astonishingly effective campaign of disinformation by the right wing.

So while the amount of money that government steals from me temporarily goes down slightly, the amount of government spending and the cost of living goes up.
OH, HAPPY DAY!
