Obama and the Democrats Push Tax Increases

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Remember Obama's campaign promise of cutting taxes for 95% of the people?

If you don't have health insurance, should their proposal pass, you will be fined (and possibly jailed). That fine, by the way, is technically a tax.

As for the Afghanistan war troop level increase? Well, if we send more troops, they plan to tax folks for that too!

The one that really has me confused, considering that we need to do things to encourage building the economy, not burdening the main players with taxes, the Democrats are pushing a tax on Wall Street.

All of this, and of course their allowance of the Bush Tax Cuts expiring, which will increase income taxes for everyone.

Hmmmm, I wonder who those 95%'rs are that are getting tax cuts?

Just admit it, Obama voters. You were lied to.
