Obama Budget Shows Middle-Class Tax Pledge Was Fraud

Taxes: A new study shows President Obama's budget would significantly boost taxes on the middle class. Funny, we seem to recall him promising voters that only the rich would pay for his grandiose spending plans.

According to the analysis from the nonpartisan but liberal-leaning Tax Policy Center, Obama's budget would hit wealthy families hardest, with the top 20% of income earners shouldering almost 90% of the tax hike.

But families at every income level would end up paying more if Obama's budget were enacted, including those making less than $10,000 a year.

Communists have always hated the middle class. We are a far bigger threat to their machinations than the wealthy.

The internal enemy” of the proletarian Russian Revolution is constituted first and foremost by the lower middle classes.

From Revolutionary Essays by Bela Kun

Bela Kun Hungarian revolutionary who led the Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919. Following the fall of the Hungarian revolution, Kun emigrated to the Soviet Union, where he worked as a functionary in the Communist International bureaucracy.

$10,000 a year IS rich

It is, if you're living in 1890 of course. That's probably how they got the income tax approved; they convinced the voters that they wouldn't be personally affected by it. Only those upper income people who make $5,000 a year would ever have to worry about paying it.

Obamacare broke the no taxes on the middle class pledge. Just the reduction in the total pre-tax dollars you can put in a health care spending account in 2013 is a tax increase. There are more.

IMHO he really doesn't care. His number one legacy will be TRANSFORMING AMERICA WITHOUT THE NEED OF A SINGLE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT!
