here is a list of how the poor are going to share more of the tax burden:
the payroll tax hike ($150bn more to the treasury this year)
his admin's tariffs on tires
the aca penalties take up a higher percentage of a non-wealthy individual's income than they do of a wealthy filer's income.
tariff revenue has increased recently either because of more enforcement or his admin may have hiked rates (or both).
using "chained CPI" for tax bracket adjustments is going to take more from everyone not just the wealthy.
there will be new tax revenue from using things the govt has a monopoly on, and most of that will not come from the wealthy.
then a lot of his discretionary spending increases have gone to the wealthy (those in charge of the military contractor companies).
he made the AMT less regressive and the ratio of top marginal rate to bottom marginal rate went from 7:2 to 99:25, but that's about all that he made less regressive.
obama is practically reversing all of the tax cuts bush made for poor people! and bush practically didnt even decrease taxes on people who werent poor (the top marginal rate was decreased ~12% while the lowest tax bracket got a 1/3 decrease), so he had one the most progressive tax policy since silent cal yet so many members of the party corrupted by Wilson are quick to criticize him for being pro-wealthy. so obama is more like reagan and the current Neo-Republican Party State legislatures/Governors when it comes to taxes than bush was.
and hillary clinton will then add a general VAT, which means that if the govt doesnt stop its excessive spending then the poor will pay more and more taxes and the overall tax burden will be shifted away from the wealthy... the wealthy cant pay for all this shit by themselves and even if they could they wouldnt because they would just move.
so i guess Lincoln's party will love Obama by the time he leaves office for shifting the overall tax burden away from the wealthy and the Party corrupted by Wilson will love him for spending so much.
