Why the specifics of Obama's tax plan are irrelevant

Obama has repeatedly accused Republicans of misrepresenting his tax plan. Obama says he'll only raise taxes on households earning over $250,000 and that everybody else will get a tax cut.

But that's just his plan. It won't actually happen like that. Whatever tax changes are enacted will have to be passed through Nancy Pelosi's House and Harry Reid's Senate, and by the time they're done with it, God knows what we'll be looking at, but one thing's for sure: Obama won't veto it.

Democrats raise taxes, period. It's who they are and what they do. If you believe your taxes are too low, vote Democrat and they'll fix that problem.

Look, Bill Clinton campaigned in 1992 on a promise to pass a middle-class tax cut. Instead, he raised taxes on the middle class.

You vote for the man, you get the party, and when Americans voted for Bill Clinton -- and I was one of them, in '92 -- they might as well have been voting for Mike Dukakis or Ted Kennedy, as far as tax policy was concerned.

That's the big lesson of the Clinton years: Liberals run the Democratic Party, and when you put the Democrats in charge, you're not going to get that moderate, sensible, middle-of-the-road stuff they talk about during the campaign, you're going to get the crazy kookburger radical stuff they were talking about while they were passing the bong around in college 30 years ago.
