What Obama says he'll do isn't what his plan would actually do. You think he'd really come out and say he'd do that?
Ooh Mr. conspiracy theorist here. So what exactly would Obama's plan do since you can apparently read minds now. Seriously, cutting taxes on the rich made sense in the 80's when the top tax rate was 70%. Thus by reducing taxes we actually increased revenues. But see the laffer curve has an optimum level of taxation, which changes with changes in spending. Since we are spending more now ( Iraq), we should have actually seen some tax increases instead of a tax cut. So that led to deficit spending which predictably led to inflation, which is just a hidden tax on the poors and middle class.
