President Obama in Cedar Rapids, Iowa: The McLaughlins and Middle-Class Tax Cuts

Are you in? http://OFA.BO/TNNyjE

Before President Obama delivered remarks at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, he visited the home of Jason and Ali McLaughlin to discuss the need for Congress to extend the middle-class tax cuts that would prevent a tax hike on all families earning less than $250,000.

As a result of the tax cuts President Obama has already signed into law, the McLaughlin's have received a total of about $4,900 in tax relief over the President's first term. President Obama has committed to extend the middle class tax cuts that expire at the end of this year--if these tax cuts expired, the McLaughlins could face a tax increase of about $2,000.

In his speech, President Obama outlined his plan to build an economy from the middle out, not the top down, by ensuring hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded, making critical investments in education and clean energy, and by reforming our tax system to restore middle class security and pay down our deficits in a balanced way.

Obama 2012

I payed the premiums for my Social Security. I pay each month for my Medicare and Medi-gap insurance.

Anyone that threatens either will not get my vote.

The President has been fighting for me and I will continue to fight for him.

Ronmey was to Tax the living daylight oout of the middle class! Why do you think the koch brothers, Adelson and countless billionaire is giving him money? They want to keep they rackets going and making more money for they Future relatives. Why would someone who is 70 years old and a billionaire still wants to make billions? For who? Yep, their families to continue the bloodline!
