One man, who described himself as a small business owner manufacturing promotional items like T-shirts and lawn signs, criticized Obama's plans for allowing tax cuts on income over $250,000 a year to expire.
"As the government gets more and more involved in business and more and more involved in taxes, what you're finding is you're strangling those job creation vehicles," the man said.
The president disputed that, saying he's already signed eight pieces of legislation providing small business tax cuts.
Showing some frustration, Obama said: "Your taxes haven't gone up in this administration. Your taxes have gone down in this administration. There's a notion that, well, he's a Democrat so your taxes must have gone up. That's just not true."
In other words this small business owner is telling him to his face that he can't create jobs with his taxes higher. Then Obama just rattles off some crap about small business tax cuts that obviously haven't helped this guy. Way to be on the side of the small businessman.
It is also funny that Obama keeps saying your taxes have gone down. If he means the $400 a year tax cut from the stimulus let me take this time to laugh in Obama's face. That amounted to like $13 a paycheck. Almost no one knows it even happened let alone were helped by it.
