Obama and Taxes, Part II

Even if I have to say so myself, I hit the nail on the head with my previous "Obama and Taxes" post last week.
Today Obama lowered his tax threshold from those making less than $250,000 to those making less than $200,000.
Ah, then Biden trumped him and stated no new taxes for those making less than $150,000.  And now today, Governor Richardson of New Mexico (a Democrat supporter of Obama) said less than $120,000.   Where does it stop? It stops with EVERYBODY paying more taxes.  You won't be able to say I didn't warn you.

Obama on Taxes

Barak Hussein Obama keeps repeating he won't raise taxes on those making less than $250,000/yr.  Really?  He will let the Bush tax
cuts expire.  Now I know the Democrats keep saying the tax cuts only helped the rich, but, as usual, they lie.  As an example, the Bush tax cuts reduced the tax rate from 15% to 10% on the first $10,000 of taxable income.  Let me see, I think that applies to EVERYONE with
any taxable income.  I could go on, but this is enough to prove that Obama is not telling the truth (and that's putting it mildly).

Obama and Taxes

Barack Obama keeps saying he will NOT raise taxes on anyone making over $250,000 a year. He has also said he wants to
eliminate the cap on the social security payroll tax. In 2008 the payroll tax is capped at $102,000.  That is, one doesn't pay any more
payroll tax on income above $102,000 for the year.  Eliminating the cap would increase taxes on everyone making more than $102,000.
Last time I checked $102,000 was considerably less than $250,000.
 
To be fair, Obama has said he would "consider" exempting those making between $102,000 (in 2008) and $250,000.  Consider? What's
to consider?  Either is ISN'T raising taxes for people making less than $250,000 or he is "considering" not raising taxes on them. I'm betting on "HE IS!"
