That tax hike pledge? Um, nevermind.
Max Baucus finally admits outloud that Obama is not going to be able keep his pledge to refrain from raising taxes on families that make over $250k;
“One other point that I think it’s very important to make is that it is true that in certain cases, the taxes will go up for some Americans who might be making less than $200,000.”
Of course, it’s not a complete admission when he uses words like “some Americans” and “might be making”. That’s enough for those blivetheads that voted for Obama believing his pledge to tell themselves “Well, he’s not talking about me”. I have news for all of you – everyone is getting a tax hike next year, even those making below poverty line wages. Get used to it.
Thanks to TSO for the link.

No shit, Max. Tell us something we didn’t know. BTW–you already raised taxes on people making under $250K when you jacked up cigarette taxes.
Now that the cloak is coming off this disaster, the commies have no place to hide, anymore, and have to start admitting what thinking people already knew. Socialism makes everyone equal….equally miserable.
Well, at least he was sober this time. Just wait for the national sales tax recommendation to come out next year from the deficit reduction study group (or whatever it’s called) when they realize that all the tricks they’ve put in to the bill as well as the lies they’ve told (see Max admitting to it) won’t cover Obamacare.
BOHICA … and again … and again … ad infinitum … and you still won’t be able to pay for it all.
SCR, sober? Maybe just on a maintenance binge, but not stone cold sober, by any stretch.
