Misinformation about the tax burden

"'We are over-taxed as it is,' Doris said bluntly.
'Well, let's talk about that, because this is an area where there's been just a whole lot of misinformation, and I'm going to have to work hard over the next several months to clean up a lot of the misapprehensions that people have,' the president said." This is start of "The Washington Post" April 03, 2010 article entitled, "Obama's 17-minute, 2,500-word response to woman's claim of being 'over-taxed'".
Poor President Obama imagine his frustration. Here he was taking his valuable time to enlighten the ignorant battery plant workers; when, all of sudden, he comes face to face with Doris and many others like her who are "mis-apprehensive" about taxes. But even when faced with such massive ignorance the President still donated 17 minutes to explain to Doris, the petty factors in her life are nothing compared with the national issues. So while, Doris was merely struggling to say feed her family or maybe pay her mortgage, the President was fighting to keep keep funding national expenditures while the national debt is growing. While Doris was working to repair her car or replace those worn tires, his administration was striving to see that insurance companies were not becoming too profitable. And while Doris was laying awake at night trying to figure out how to get a new or better job; the President's flight on Air Force One was practically destroyed by Congressional reports on government overspending.
When one looks down at the pathetically small lives of battery plant workers like Doris from the lofty height of Presidential peaks, it becomes apparent, that that the "tax burden" of battery makers is just another barrier to the President. We can all be grateful that he took 17 minutes out of his important life to correct Doris' misapprehension.
