Why Obama Won’t Trade the Keystone Pipeline for the Payroll Tax Cut | Conservative Byte

Why Obama Won’t Trade the Keystone Pipeline for the Payroll Tax Cut | Conservative Byte: I have a theory. We’re going this payroll tax business. Folks, let me tell you something. Obama announced yesterday after meeting with the prime minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, that he’s gonna veto any bill that extends the payroll tax cut if the bill lifts his ban on the Keystone pipeline. Now, all we’ve heard for the last several weeks is how vital this whopping 2% payroll tax cut extension is to the preservation of the middle class. They even have a countdown clock at the White House. Days, hours, minutes until the middle class experience a thousand-dollar tax increase. It’s amazing. And that is why the taxpayers are paying for all these recent campaign trips. See, Obama’s not campaigning. He’s pushing for this all-important tax cut. The White House website even has this countdown clock, which is ticking off the time to the expiration of the payroll tax cut.
