Not exactly "breaking news" because everyone knew it was coming. Tax the rich? yeah, right.

Obama officials: Taxes may rise to pay health care

Two of President Barack Obama's economic heavyweights said middle-class taxes might have to go up to pare budget deficits or to pay for the proposed overhaul of the nation's health care system.

During his presidential campaign, Obama repeatedly pledged "you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime." But the simple reality remains that his ambitious overhaul of how Americans receive health care — promised without increasing the federal deficit — must be paid for.

I see a revolt coming. I bet he wont raise them until after the 2010 elections to try to keep the dems majority in congress and the house... and like sharpton and jackson, the followers will follow him blindly.

I saw a great bumper sticker on the way in to work this morning.

It said:

If you think that Health Care is expensive now, wait until it's free!!
