DFA, you need to get the fuck out of the house.
And your mother needs to grow a spine and do the same, with children in tow.
yup. what charlie said, charlie. that's a really shitty situation you're in and you have my sympathies. if what you say is true, your step dad is a manipulative asshole. the fact that you're sticking around for your sisters' sakes is pretty cool, but you should plan an exit strategy.
if you want to be confrontational: maybe provide some research showing that his taxes won't go up by $5000? you could point him to sources that shows that his taxes should go *down* under obama's plan. undoubtedly he'll claim all those articles are false, at which point ask him to back his beliefs... hint, tell him "my drinking buddies told me so" doesn't constitute proof. eventually/hopefully, he'll have to admit that he can't be certain, or he'll have to admit that he's certain without being able to prove it.
i'm probably over-stepping here, and i say this knowing nothing about your situation, but it sounds like you need to have a word with you mom about how intolerable this is. this man sounds abusive and isn't providing a decent home environment. what kind of an example is he providing to your sisters? great way of encouraging democracy, a fundamental american value, btw.
an dobviously, don't let him eat any more of your food.
