Obama Raising Taxes on the Middle Class

> The Obama campaign’s dishonesty about [Governor Romney’s tax plan] is striking even by the very low standards of Democratic election rhetoric. But the White House is also misleading the public about the consequences of its economic policies, specifically about elevating levels of federal spending that have produced an unbroken chain of deficits exceeding $1 trillion — which ultimately will force a very large tax increase on, yes, the middle class and all other taxpayers.

President Obama’s campaign relies on a study by *Tax Policy Center*, that [has been torn apart for its incorrect assumptions](http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/316728/obama-s-tax-hike-con-editors), to say the Governor Romney will raise taxes on the middle class. Meanwhile, policies like Obamacare are *actually* raising the tax burden on middle class workers. This will obviously be a focus during the last few weeks of the campaign.
