During the 2008 campaign Barack Obama promised not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year.
He lied. Obamacare created seven new taxes on those making less than $250,000 a year.
And, then there’s this.
The fiscal cliff bill that passed the US Senate and the US House will raise payroll taxes from 4.2% to 6.2%. In other words those making $100,000 a year will see their taxes increase by $2,000.
Obama needs the money.
