With a Dem Congress and Obama as POTUS, everyone who pays taxes will see a tax hike. Bet on it.</p> Obama’s plan is a meaningless charade, just like his promise to take public financing if McCain did.  It won’t last a day past inauguration.  It can’t; he’s promised a trillion in new spending.  Which promise do you think he’s going to break, to tax less or to spend more?  Remember, we found out this week he’s an avowed socialist.

It's sickening and McCain should be bringing it up in his ads and linking it to Chicago politics.
