Rush Limbaugh Argues with Caller over Obama Tax Cuts

Rush Limbaugh has been a controversial right wing shock jock for a long time. It should come as no surprise that Rush Limbaugh actually argued with a caller over the Obama tax cuts given that the caller in question said that Obama has cut taxes for 95% of Americans.

It just so happens that Rush and his friends aren't in that 95% of Americans whose taxes were cut, or at least that's the impression I get from listening to the video.

For those who need hard numbers, PoliFacts.com did a study on the Obama tax cuts and found that, when considering the tax credits given out as a part of the stimulus plan the claims are true. You can click here to read their analysis.

The reason that most people don't think that Obama lowered taxes is because the stimulus was handed out in a not so obvious way - first time homeowner tax credits, working tax credits that resulted in higher paychecks, and more.

Listen to Rush Limbaugh talk about the Obama Tax Cuts below and let us know what you think.
