Obama tosses aside pledge to keep middle-class from tax hikes

Although most of the focus from last night's press conference has fallen on Barack Obama's remarks about the Gates case in Massachusetts, this key point shows that ObamaCare will hammer the middle class -- and that the president has abandoned his pledge to keep the middle class from paying more taxes. Compare what he said last night to what he said a year ago, and has reiterated repeatedly until now.

Point to the Article of the US Constitution that says, " There shall be government run health care in whole or in part for all. " !?

Hahaha, I love it! His true colors are really starting to shine now. Did anyone honestly believe that a liberal democrat administration wouldn't raise taxes on everything in sight?

I sense massive voter regret incoming...

us as americans have had some sort of problem with every president of the United States since the birth of this country, no one gets it right, and no one will ever get it right. "We didn't land on sharewood forest, sharewood forest landed on us."

Ok I get the whole income tax thing, but would someone please explain "payroll" taxes. Why should I be forced to pay these? I thought that this is a voluntary tax.

by backing a change in the federal definition of a small business as being "independently owned" to include firms that are actually owned or controlled by some of the wealthiest investors in the country.

Finally, the most frightening thing about all of this is that President Obama will get away with everything because the mainstream media has refused to cover it.

President Obama will continue to read speeches about helping small businesses while continuing to divert over $400 million a day in federal small business funds to some of the lrgst co's in the wrld. He will back an exemption form capi gains tax on "investments" in small biz, which will be written to benefit billionaire venture capitalist buddies. The scariest prediction is President Obama will bankrupt thousands of legiti American smll biz by backing a chnge in the fed def of a small

small businesses, he would back legislation or issue an executive order halting the diversion of over $100 billion a year in federal small business contracts to corporate giants. Look at the facts. President Obama has allocated only 2 percent of his administration's stimulus funds to small businesses. Every day of the Obama Administration hundreds of millions of dollars in fed small business contracts have been diverted to corp giants. Does that snd like a pro-small biz President to you?

To date, President Obama has failed to honor his promise. The most recent government contracting data shows the Obama Administration itself has diverted billions of dollars in federal small business contracts to Fortune 500 firms. I would imagine 100 percent of middle class Americans would agree that firms like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Bechtel, Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics should not be receiving federal small business contracts.

If Pres Obama were sincerely interested in helping pt1

B. Hussein Obama repeatedly promised audiences at campaign stops across the country:

If youre a family thats making $250,000 a year or less you will see no increase in your taxes. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your personal gains tax, not any of your taxes.

Eventually the moment would come when reality would catch up to candidate Obamas promises. That moment is fast approaching.
