SEN. BARACK OBAMA, D- ILL., PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE (CIRCA 2008): "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."
So in this recession that the government says is over, have you had any tax hikes? I bet we all can get a few listed here.
1. Even with home prices falling, our local government raised tax values on homes, with the 2009 affecting home owners everywhere.
2. State universities have raised tuition 10% in North Carolina
3. Some municipalities have raised sales taxes
4. Higher costs for fees of many licenses and permits.
These are just a few here. And the federal government is looking at not renewing the Bush tax cuts.
I guess Obama will be scheduled to visit Waterloo soon.
