right wingers like to complain about obama raising taxes: "As for the claim that Obama has raised taxes, Romney recently admitted that no tax hikes have actually taken effect during Obama's first term. "I admit this, he has one thing he did not do in his first four years," The Congressional Budget Office reported in July that federal taxes reached their lowest point in 30 years during Obama's first year as president. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/02/romney-ad-taxes-millionaires_n_1931695.html
That's a big part of the problem, most of what the GOP tries to make up and feed to the right wing crazies, is just made up crap. But, if you yell loud enough, then I guess they can be easily brainwashed.
