True - although, we also have people citing the Huffington Post and other extremely partisan sites on here as well, so I think the objectivity train when it comes to campaign discussion (on both sides) went bye-bye a long time ago...

Oh, I have no problem with people posting opinions and opinion pieces, but I think it should be presented as what it is and not posted as an "article" with a WSJ domain link.

Fair enough - it should probably be labeled more clearly.

I apologize for neglecting to mention that its an opinion piece. It was the best written article I can find about how deceiving Obama's tax cuts are (there are plenty in WSJ alone). The only people that will truly benefit from his tax cuts are the non-taxpayers. While he will lower the income tax for 95% of Americans, he is going to raise every other form of taxation on capital gains. Basically: His "tax cuts" will increase taxation on the middle class and will only help poor people.
