Thanks For What?

Thanks For What?
"In fact, that wasn't his promise at all.

Here's what candidate Obama really said in September of 2008:
'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.'

Got that? 'Not any of your taxes.'
The claim of no tax hikes on those below $250,000 as a result of the current administration's policies is completely and utterly false.

A report from the House Ways & Means Committee's GOP members notes that, since January 2009, Congress and the president have enacted $670 billion in tax increases.
That's $2,100 for each person in America.
At least 14 of those tax hikes, the report says, break Obama's pledge not to raise taxes on those earning less than $250,000.
Roughly $316 billion of the tax hikes — 14 increases in all — hit middle-class families, the report says."
