Change is coming, but is it the Right Change?
For the past two years, President-elect Obama and the Democrats in Congress have been talking about change. Now the rubber meets the road, and it’s the job of every American to hold our elected leaders to their commitments. But what’s spin and what’s real? You decide.
"And I can make a firm pledge: Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 will see their taxes increase -- not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."
— Barack Obama, 9/12/08, Dover, N.H.
"If you have a job, pay taxes and make less than $200,000 a year, you'll get a tax cut."
- Barack Obama, "Defining Moment” Television Ad
“What we’re saying is that $87 billion tax break doesn’t need to go to people making an average of 1.4 million, it should go like it used to. It should go to middle class people — people making under $150,000 a year.”
– Joseph Biden, 10/27/08, Pennsylvania
“What Obama wants to do is, he is basically looking at $120,000 and under, among those that are in the middle class, and there is a tax cut for those."
- Gov. Bill Richardson, 10/31/08, KOA-AM
