Explain this to me please.?

When Obama and the Democrats do not renew the Bush tax cuts for the middle class in 2010, doesn't this constitute a raise in taxes for the middle class. Is he lying? Did he not say that he would not raise taxes on the middle class? Brace yourself middle class people, we are in for a long four years if Obama gets elected.

Update:

If you honestly believe that he won't raise taxes on the middle class, then you are fools.

    No, it does not constitute a tax raise. You'll be hard pressed to argue that it does.

    Nope because Obama will have in place his cuts and new tax codes. The new tax code will give you back the 54 dollars you get with Bush's tax cuts.

    Do you not think the last 4 years was long? All of the dead soldiers and economy crisis was all of that just a dream? Wise up and be ready to put in some work these problems are not going to fix themselves not matter who is elected.

    Honey he's trying to get elected. He will say whatever he has to to do just that. They all do unfortunatly. I liked Clinton at least he had the moxie to get a hummer when he could. Hell, I want the leader of the free world to be happy and well blown ya know!

    That's the dirty little secret he hasn't told his supporters about and I'm sure the tax calculator on his site doesn't account for this.

    Check the tax calculator on his website.

    I was unaware that there was a middle class these last 8 years.
