Obama has raised taxes. Everybody knows it. Obama was elected, he waived his magic Liberalism Wand, sign an executive order or two, and now everyone is paying way too much in taxes. Not just everyone: YOU. You are paying too much in taxes, and it’s Obama’s fault.
Consider the following graph of the highest and lowest marginal income tax rates over the last 100+ years. Because this graph has liberal bias, it seems to show that tax rates increase for the rich and not for the poor. But still, rich people matter. A LOT. Therefore, this graph basically proves that taxes have been raised on everyone… or at least, everyone who matters.
In case you find the above graph a bit overwhelming or confusing (who wouldn’t?) we have simplified it for you in the following way:
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! Not only has income tax on the super-rich increased, but capital gains tax (the other type of tax that most rich people pay) has also increased!! All you need to do is look at the illustrated graph below to see how sad this is:
What have we seen as the negative result of this increase? ISIS and Ebola. Now, I know that some people, for example the head adviser and chief of staff for Ted Cruz, have tried to blame Ebola on Obamacare:
But that’s just ignorant. Clearly, both ISIS and Ebola are part of the LARGER PATTERN in our economy, namely: the fact that the rich are paying a little bit more lately.
Did we have ISIS before taxes on the top 1% were raised? NO!
Did we have Ebola before taxes on the top 1% were raised? NO!
I rest my case. If anybody tries to tell you otherwise, the only appropriate response is to yell LIBERAL BIAS!!!!
