One of the first actions the new Democratic congressional majority took was to change legislative rules, implemented by the 1994 Republican-controlled Congress, that made it difficult to raise taxes. I suppose the Democrats' apparent plan to increase taxes on "the rich" won't count as a broken campaign promise not to raise taxes since "the rich" aren't entitled to any rights, only to scorn, jealousy and resentment.
The Contract with America provision required a supermajority or 60 percent to increase taxes, but the Democrats' rule change will now permit a tax hike on a simple majority vote. It will also give the Democrats an advantage in preventing Republicans from extending the Bush tax cuts, which are set to expire in a few years. Democrats removed any doubt that this was an accidental development when they rejected a motion by Minority Leader John Boehner to bar the rule change.

Democrats are Coming: Watch Your Wallets
David Limbaugh exposes the Democrats and their sneaky agenda to raise your taxes and deny extension of George Bush's tax cuts that have produced huge increases in federal revenue, which Bush never gets any credit for. But watch and see--when taxes go up and revenue dwindles, Bush will get blamed. The biased media will make sure of that.
