Do not trust Barack Obama.
Do not trust Barack Obama especially when it comes to taxes.
On September 12, 2008, Barack Obama was in Dover, New Hampshire, on the campaign trail.
He was talking taxes and he made a promise, a "firm pledge."
BARACK OBAMA: And I can make a firm pledge: under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase - not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.
Read Obama's lips: NO FAMILY MAKING LESS THAN $250,000 A YEAR WILL SEE ANY FORM OF TAX INCREASE.
He's a liar.
If you're a smoker, then Obama has already raised your taxes even if your in a family making less than $250,000 a year.
Now, the liar Obama is talking about VAT, a value-added tax.
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama suggested Wednesday that a new value-added tax on Americans is still on the table, seeming to show more openness to the idea than his aides have expressed in recent days.
Before deciding what revenue options are best for dealing with the deficit and the economy, Obama said in an interview with CNBC, "I want to get a better picture of what our options are."
After Obama adviser Paul Volcker recently raised the prospect of a value-added tax, or VAT, the Senate voted 85-13 last week for a nonbinding "sense of the Senate" resolution that calls the such a tax "a massive tax increase that will cripple families on fixed income and only further push back America's economic recovery."
For days, White House spokesmen have said the president has not proposed and is not considering a VAT.
"I think I directly answered this the other day by saying that it wasn't something that the president had under consideration," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters shortly before Obama spoke with CNBC.
After the interview, White House deputy communications director Jen Psaki said nothing has changed and the White House is "not considering" a VAT.
In other words, OF COURSE OBAMA IS CONSIDERING A VAT.
Liar.
Thanks for the change, Barack.
