President Barack Obama made a campaign promise that he would not raise taxes on individuals making under $200,000 or couples under $250,000. However, Senator Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, made a statement on the floor this week that seems to dispute Mr. Obama’s tax pledge.

“One other point I think that is very important to make is that it's true in certain cases taxes will go up for some Americans who may be making less than $200,000," said Mr. Baucus.

Yeah, like if you're breathing

[dfwgator]

And monkeys will fly out of my butt.

[P-Marlowe]

Once inflation kicks in (due to the monetizing of the debt), we’ll all be millionaires!

[Mr. Right Now]

The 10% tanning tax is a tax on people who make less than $200,000. a year!

[Parmy]

Yeah! Every time my taxes go up, I get wealthier and my standard of living increases. Moron!

[LottieDah]

People will be wealthier and we can tax them at a higher rate!

[TJC]

How can a conservative state like Montana have a liberal looser like this .... for years?

[dalebert]

lol we are all squeezed dry

[Terry Mross]

Spread that wealth around, baby!

No doubt some will be. Almost every bill passed out of Kongress in the last 80 years has made a few wealthy at the expense of the bulk of taxpayers.

[GraceG]

And igf everyone gives their money to the federal government and the fed “distributes” it back to us we all be rich!!!

/sarc

One guarantee -
those NOT paying taxes now will NOT be paying taxes under 0bama.

[muawiyah]

Baucus is just another crazed Leftwingtard ~ no common sense. Only his deep seated fear of being hurt keeps him line. In a world without punishment for rude behavior this guy would be running down the road naked!

[throwback]

All these years and I never knew it was Marx Baucus. Always been bad with names, though.

[GeronL]

higher taxes on everything.

pay a fine or be forced to buy insurance.

Insurance will cost more too.

right.... somehow I disagree with the guy. lol
