Obama makes light of anti-tax protests:
Obama, sweetie, you may have overall lowered taxes by exempting 47% of America from paying them, but in turn you've significantly raised the taxes of families like mine. Pro tip: none of these families wants to say "thank you" for that. Least of all my dad, who's currently forking over about a third of his paycheck to the government. ;D
President Barack Obama said Thursday he's amused by the anti-tax tea party protests that have been taking place around Tax Day.
Obama told a fundraiser in Miami that he's cut taxes, contrary to the claims of protesters.
"You would think they'd be saying thank you," he said.
