“I can make a firm pledge,” he said in Dover, N.H., on Sept. 12. “Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.” - B Hussein Obama
Cig taxes already went up, so that promise is already out the window.
Democrats and Obama are going to lose in landslides in 2010 and 2012 if they implement these tax increases. Americans are pissed enough already.
Obama plainly said that he was not going to raise taxes on anyone making less than $200,000 a year. Voters may be stupid (obviously) but the don’t have that short of memories.
