"Which was made before the 2009 cut, so restoring that cut does not increase taxes above the level they were at when this statement was made."
Uhhh. I have seen this argument. Completely bogus no matter who it's coming from. A raise is a raise. If you lower something and then raise it back, you have raised it. So, while those whose sensibilities align with the President may not want to admit it's a tax raise, the working class people who are stuck with sure as hell know it is. This can easily be seen on twitter. The disbelief, disappointment, anger, and such are flying about the tax raise that isn't. Plus, you can throw this tax *increase* out and he still broke the promise. Even the leftist Politifact acknowledged he broke the promise, way back in 2010 ( http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/promise/515/no-family-making-less-250000-will-see-any-form-tax/).

Now what property can the colonists be conceived to have, if their money may be granted away by others, without their consent? - Samuel Adams ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:359762 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
