"Not any of your taxes."

He said it, it's part of the record. "I can make a firm pledge," Barack vowed in Dover, N.H., on Sept. 12. "Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."

"Not any of your taxes" means no tax, not one.

Even his comic sidekick, Joe Biden said it during the VP debate. "No one making less than $250,000 under Barack Obama's plan will see one single penny of their tax raised," he said, "whether it's their capital gains tax, their income tax, investment tax, any tax."

They lied. Yesterday the largest increase in tobacco taxes took effect with Obama's blessing. This is a tax that disproportionately affects the poor, who are more likely to smoke than the rich.


When Bush Sr. said, "Read my lips: no new taxes" and then broke his vow once elected it contributed to him losing the next election. Let's see what happens to Barack.
