Obama Campaign Tactic: Tax the Rich

Campaign Tactic: Tax the Rich: "The Obama tax-the-rich campaign strategy is simply a grand diversion from the nation’s badly sputtering economy and from Obama's failure to effectively do much about it. It is also an exercise in sophism designed to draw attention away from his own disingenuous assurances that: (1) he was going to cut the deficit in half during his first term; (2) he would not raise taxes on the middle class; (3) he would reduce (wasteful) government spending; (4) he would veto the healthcare bill “if it increased the deficit by one dime” and (5) his healthcare plan would allow everyone who liked their health insurance plans to keep them.  Remember, these were not exaggerated promises of a presidential candidate, but rather the pledges of the President of the United States."
