The myth of higher taxes
Watching Colbert last night (and Countdown, and all of the other cable news garbage I digest now) there's still this continual statement by the Republicans that Obama is going to raise taxes. This is technically true, though only for 2% of Americans, but it's pretty misleading to keep hammering at people that. Of course the election is over, so obviously it didn't work, but whatever happens to the Republican party they are certainly going to make tax cuts their M.O. Hopefully the Obama administration will make enough of a memorable tax cut that the majority of America will call the Republicans on their bullshit and not be misled into thinking their taxes are going up.
