Teeing up the middle Class

[JohnnyD]

Bad Article that is selective in its reporting.

What the article leaves out is that Obama came out almost immediately after the Advisers made their comments and reiterated his stance on not raising taxes.

I like this line;
"Democrats have already taxed the middle class by raising cigarette taxes to pay for the children’s health-care expansion."

There was widespread support by Republicans for the cig tax increase, yet the author of the article (rather, the *Opinion* article) puts the emphasis on Democrats. This is aside from the ridiculousness that stating increasing the cig tax is "taxing the middle-class".

Misinformation at its best.
