Obama, no tax increase for those who make under $200,000 (health care, cost, rates)

[silas777]

Every one remembers how the leftists on this forum kept repeating this in response to conservatives speaking the obvious, during the health care debate. Hoyer: Permanent middle class tax cuts too costly

[silas777]

Where are all those, true believers that insisted taxes weren't going up?

Hoping this thread sinks off the first page quick....

Another false attempt to parse words from a slanted source. Obama has ALWAYS indicated that the Bush tax cuts would sunset. Obama has ALWAYS indicated that returning to pre-Bush tax rates would be the part of the steps to help offset the deficit, but that rates would not rise above pre-Bush rates.

So.....a tax increase...gotcha.

[txgolfer130]

No, a return to normal rates not influenced by an artificial stimulus or ceiling.

[HappyTexan]

Ok, an indirect tax increase. Blame Bush !!!!

Gotta love it.

Wrong. The Bush tax cuts are only supposed to be rolled back on the very wealthy.

Both sides are captured and controled by the big banks.

He sadi that there would be no tax increase to efect the middle class and below. But i really don't think people actaully beleiev that the cost will not be passed on. Then the same will see cuts in porgrams to pay for the debt spent during this last 11/2 years.The rise they tlkabout its a drop in the deep debt bucklet as people will see as the debt continues to rise for decades.
