“I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase.
Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes…
You will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime.”
— Barack Obama, running for president, Sept. 12, 2008, Dover, NH and many, many other times on the campaign trail
