President Obama has promised that he will not raise taxes on the middle class, yet several economists, including two members of his own cabinet, have suggested that the promise might not be kept.
Please vote and tell us what you think he’ll do.

Welcome to TLB
We've been talking taxes since 2007 with a little bit of finance, politics and Shakespeare thrown in for good measure.
I hope you enjoy reading these posts as much as I enjoy writing them.
And remember, we not only invite your comments and suggestions, we encourage them.
Thanks for visiting, Peter

The president doesn’t have the power to raise taxes. That’s up to Congress.

You posted the same comment on another of my blog posts.
I suggest you tell the President that he has no power to raise taxes because he sure is stumping like he does.
The President has great influence over what Congress does regarding tax policy because tax bills do not become law without the President’s signature.
I can’t believe you didn’t know that.
