Pay-roll tax tricks


Here, Tom Toles is representing the payroll tax bill situation as the GOP luring Obama into a trap.  Republicans in
Congress amended the bill so that the tax cuts were funded by an oil pipeline, while the democrats want it to be funded 
by a tax on millonaires.  He uses caricature - overemphasizing Obama's tendency to compromise, and subsequently
give up too much to the other side.  The message indicates Obama is weak as a leader, and shouldn't fall for the same 
trick again.
