Why did Obama raise taxes on people making 22,000 and above?

Why does Obama raise taxes on people making 22,000 and above. Why did he LIE and say that before the election that he wasn't going to raise taxes and now is raising all of them? Why does he think that someone who makes 250,000 is paying enough when they pay a third of it as taxes. Why does he raise taxes on people who work hard and can afford a nice car(250,000) and lets the super rich like GE and Warren Buffet get more in tax returns than they even paid....

    He's a politician, they all lie and there is no exception to that rule. He lied to get re-elected just as he lied to get elected in 2008 just as the Republican candidates also lied.

    That would be the Republicans. The Republicans want all the money.

    It appears you're the one lying here. Obama campaigned on raising top income tax rates, so that's what he did.
