"President Obama's promise to raise taxes only on the wealthy was easy to make and easy to break. He broke it barely two weeks after taking office, and he will break it again if Congress passes the health care legislation he wants. But Obama has come up with a strategy to avoid the fate of George H.W. Bush: Although he will raise your taxes, he will never admit he is raising your taxes." He’ll just call it something else. And insist it is NOT a rise in taxes. It will be a new “fee” or an increase in the cost of doing business with the government. To me, ANY money you have to pay to the government is a tax. But not to Obama. (
