Change? Not So Much… Obama Ready to Raise Taxes on Poor & Middle Class

Remember this pledge, it was the key pledge of his presidential campaign:

You heard the man. Remember? This guy wasn’t just another politician, right? No, he promised to be something quite different. “Change” was his mantra, remember? The American people were tired the politics as usual, as the story went from Pravda… they were ready to elect Obama because he would bring a fresh new approach to politics. He was down to earth. Smart. You could bank on his word… how they knew this, I don’t know, but they were sure of it… then we get this today from the AP:

Obama said to be open to taxing health benefits

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is leaving the door open to taxing health care benefits, something he campaigned hard against while running for president, according to senators who met with him Tuesday.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., raised the issue with Obama during a private meeting with the president and other Democratic senators and later reported the president’s position: “It’s on the table. It’s an option.”

The president adamantly opposed health benefit taxes during the campaign, arguing they would undermine job-based coverage. But he’s now indicating openness to that suggestion from Congress, even if he criticized Republican presidential rival John McCain for proposing a sweeping version of the same basic idea.

Sounds one hell of a lot like a tax increase on millions of Americans who make one hell of a lot less than $250K per year… was that the change all you Obama voters were hoping for?
