This administration has you fooled into thinking that he considers people who make $250k and above rich when in fact comparative to those who get welfare the middle class is rich.

He said no tax increase on the middle class but this is a lie you will pay more taxes. If he meant what he said he would not let all these tax breaks expire. Actions speak louder than words.
You are very right. When you stack the "taxes" from Obamacare on top of the Bush-Obama tax cuts we are all going to be paying through the nose. Well those of us who pay income taxes will be doing that.

Your answer does nothing to speak to the definition of fair share. I guess I will have to wait till some other prog comes up with the answer since you don't know.
