LOL!!! So, doesn't that actually prove my point? It's like a little kid getting angry at Santa Claus for not bringing everything he asked for on Christmas...

Basically, yes. Now, there are always going to be a certain # of people who will vacillate based on the immediacy of the moment, but what the general media really failed to report is the level of anger when lower and lower-middle income workers saw their paychecks go down after the first of the year. Certainly contradicts Barack Obama's pledge that "your tax dollars will not go up one cent". And then add to that, the executive order that Obama tried to push through in January to give Congress a pay increase.
