Only the rich will be taxed

President Barack Obama said numerous times during his campaign that he would raise taxes but only on people that made over $250,000 a year. This is also stated on his website: http://www.barackobama.com/taxes/.
Some Americans may be frightened to hear that because of yet another spending bill being pushed by Obama, a proposal for a national sales tax has been made, http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2009/05/national_sales_tax_mulled_to_o.html. I'm a little confused. Obama said taxes would only be raised on Americans making over $250,000 a year, but a national sales tax would raise taxes for all Americans. Something is a little off here. The purpose of the new tax would be to pay off the costs of switching the country's health care system to a universal form. I'm not a fan of universal health care but I'll go over that another time.
The bottom line here is that the entire country's taxes would go up a considerable amount because of the bill that would give us bad health care. Woops, I meant to say universal health care.
Obama has always been a strong advocate of universal health care and he isn't backing away from this stance as mentioned earlier. Obama may or may not have been the one to suggest the national tax but whether he did or didn't isn't the point here. Because of a bill that he is pushing for, either all Americans will see an increase in their taxes or the country's debt will continue to sky rocket under Obama.
I'm not a fan of either.
"Change we can believe in"? We cam believe in Obama's change but we should hope and pray that it doesn't happen.
Obama has changed some things already unfortunately. He's changed his mind on who will be taxed in order to pay for his next spending bill.
