Why while campaigning did Odumbo keep talking about raising taxes on "millionaires and billionaires"?

But now he will not accept the Republican bill that raises taxes on incomes over $1,000,000, but insists on the threshold of $200,000. In many areas with high living costs is clearly just middle class. Most small businesses also file as individual taxpayers, and a business earning $200,000 is NOT a millionaire either. And of course most new jobs are created by small business, but that makes no difference to him, the only jobs he cares about are his own, those of other dimocraps, and those of his thug union supporters. Of course, what do we expect from the liar in chief?

Update:

Sorry Matthew, your reasoning is flawed. He kept talking about raising taxes on "millionaires and billionaires", and eve $400k is well short of a million. Even his original tax increase would only pay for less than two weeks of obamadebt, a small drop in the flood of red ink. What WILL help will be to reduce government spending, along with steps to grow the economy by actually REDUCING federal regulations. I will point out one example from my own state, the farmers in the central valley who were being denied irrigation water and being put out of business (along with all their employees), in order to save the Delta Smelt, an insignificant bait fish.

    Obama could have said he's going to war with China, or legalizing heroin and he would of won because the election was a frigging farce.

    Republican believe the rich don't have enough money and the poor have to much.

    Guns are important to have, so you can protect yourself from your own government.

    It is also important to spend a Trillion Dollars on the Military that's coming to get you.

    I am considering to join the Tea Party so I never get to retire or receive any of the Tax I paid into Social Security. I have many things to complain about anyway. So,why not put my nose into someone else's business?

    obama believes in a new American form of communism and socialism. Perhaps different than what has came before, but an expansion of FDR's new deal social policies.
