Don't Tax You. Don't Tax Me. Tax That Guy Behind the Tree!

By Jeffrey L. Scribner

"Politicians like Barack Obama try to make you believe that someone else will pay the tax he wants to impose. For example, President Obama said he will increase taxes only for those making more than $250,000 per year. Other politicians, at other times, have told us that we will tax corporations rather than individuals, or tax some other out-of-favor group or product (sin tax) rather than the majority of individuals or the general sales tax.

The problem is that in reality, the guy behind the tree is the vast majority of us...yes, the same people who were promised that they would not pay the proposed tax increase. This is quite easy to see in some examples."
