You are right the tax rates did not change and hence this is not a tax cut. The surprise for all tax payers is when the Bush tax cuts expire on December 31 2010 and then they will see a much larger tax increase on them. For example the 10% tax bracket will go up to 15% ( 50% increase), the 25% will go up to 28%, the 28% will go up to 31%, the 31% will go up to 34% and the 35% will go up to 39.5%. However based on the trillions of dollars that Obama wasted on welfare and “toxic” assets and the more trillions that he is going to waste then I guarantee for you that people will be paying much more in taxes than just the increases I mentioned above. I expect that the top bracket to be over 60% by 2012.

Which means 2011 will be a heavily taxed year which people will realize in the Spring of 2012. Should be still fresh in everyone’s minds when it comes time to vote later that year.
