gawd this game is getting old already.
“I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class.”
Barack Obama
When he raises taxes on the middle class, he might as well announce that he is not seeking a second term.
That IS a guarantee. They don’t even consider completely rescinding the Bush cuts as a tax rise. Only amounts above that are a tax hike, and only if not hidden as something else, like deduction phaseouts, specific project surtaxes (e.g., millionaire’s tax for the health plan), SS parole limit rises, and the like.
Come on 2010.
Doesn’t surprise me at all.
I am not to sure how this helps the ecomony. It seems to me it just keeps the government spending more money instead of the people who know how to spend it best.
Obama will try to go a lot further, which is why we have a legal exodus of private capital off shore. We can see it coming.
Health care or not, back in the summer and fall of '08 is there anyone with a double digit or higher I.Q. that actually believed then and believes now that we (as middle income class) won't see a tax increase?
Just be on the look out for tax hikes not labeled as tax increases.
Or better yet, a restructuring of the classes.
Yet they will STILL blame Bush!
From the Chicago Way to The Palin Way. Maybe he could resign in a few weeks and say he is doing this because he is too distracted with merely being the Kenyan Poseur. Now, he wants time to comtemplate what is best for the country and the world and considering what he is going to do next, like run for God.
So, people should be surprised that his campaign promises aren't worth the air it took to utter them? Remember, this is the same orator/demagogue that compliments his audience on living in the finest nation on earth and then asks them to join him in changing it for what he hopes will be better (for him and all of the other Wright/Ayers/ACORN lovers)!
Of course taxes will go up. Also, look for bread to be $10.00/pound. It is already $4.06 in Winko(I forget the brand). We just got back from shopping and my wife pointed the bread price out to me. These government people have fouled up our economy beyond all repair.
Hope and Change. A passel of taxes, healthcare rationing, loss of freedom, and a load of damn lies.
Democrats are nothing but communists.
Thanks all you greedy bastards who voted for him.
Now, we can all be equally miserable and equally poor.
GHW Bush lost his re-election campaign primarily for (though among many other limp-wristed reasons) his “No New Taxes” campaign platform.
I don’t know about you - but I have yet to see ANY tax relief for the middle class, as 0bama promised. Lower taxes for 95% of people (still trying to figure the math on that one).
0bama is the biggest liar to ever hold the office (Paging Richard Nixon - maybe you weren’t so bad after all...).

“.... Sunday he cannot rule out higher taxes to help tame an exploding budget deficit.”
Doctor assisted suicide, in the states of Washington and Oregon, are on sale for any politician that’s even thinking about raising taxes to pay for their thefts.
Of course there will be tax increases on the middle class - esp on those in the 50 K to 100 K range.
I have had a running argument with coworker who says - oh no, only those making over 250 K will see their taxes go up.
Ha ha ha ha ha - sucker.
