Obama is going to have to be pretty crafty to push through tax increases- which are never popular.
To propose major tax increases in 2010 that actually pass and are signed- will be a huge political hurdle for him.
Maybe if he increases the cigarette tax to $200 a pack to close the deficit, he’ll be able to pull it off.
We both live in blue states, raising taxes seems to be quite popular here as politicians who vote to do it are never voted out.
