BARACK OBAMA

That Was Then, This Was Now

Americans for Tax Reform has found 16 separate new taxes, tax increases, and eliminations of tax deductions in the Senate version of the health-care bill.

As Keith Hennessey notes, this bill would violate, again, Barack Obama's promise that he would not raise taxes on those making less than $250,000. (He already broke that promise by raising tobacco taxes, but I guess that's the thing about breaking promises — it gets easier with experience.)
