Why doesn't Obama promote his tax plan like it is?

What he is says 95% tax cut for middle America.

What it is 50% tax cut and 45% free money.

Update:

My bad 55% get tax cut and 40% get a tax credit (free money)

    It's not 95% anymore. That was drastically reduced yesterday by Obama/Biden. Keep up with current events now. It's only for those who make less than $150K today. Hard telling what it will be by Nov 4.

    But to answer your question, it should be called socialism. That's what it is.

    Dude, the tip story is getting old. At least make up a new one...

    The Obama tax plan is not a 95% tax cut, it's a tax cut for 95% of the people in the country. I don't even get what your "question" is trying to say.

    Tell me, how does tax cut = free money?

    If you cut taxes for a person, you're not "giving" money but "not taking" money.

    Big difference.

    Have you ever had a single thought in your head that was your own?

    Good story to pass around;Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed. Once in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference--just imagine the coincidence. When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight. I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful. At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient needed money more. I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

    He doesn't promote like that because that isn't his plan.
