Obama's Attempted Tax Hikes Thus Far

Is Obama violating his pledge not to raise taxes on anyone but "the rich"

Not yet, and I do not consider a blog a source.
 
I like the following things that this guy says Obama is going to do:

"-Raise the top income tax rates from their current 33 percent and 35 percent rates to 36 percent and 39.6 percent in 2011."

"-Raise cigarette tax by 62 cents a pack."

"-Raise taxes on beer, wine, liquor, and soda."




"-Tax AIG employee bonuses."
I wish the could be done but it's illegal so I wouldn't support it.
 
Yes Obama broke his promise. He said he wouldn't tax people making under 250,000 a year anymore than before. He raised the cigarette tax, and a very large percentage of cigarette users are in the lower income brackets.

He is in a "Read my lips, no new taxes" moment.

The last statement went the last quote. The last statement doesn't apply to all the quotes just the AIG bonuses. Sorry for the confusion.

This has got to be the stupidest thread ever. Taking the "article" of some neo-con from now where, and posting it...wow is all I have to say.

Shall we call this an epic fail, or just fail?
