Obama has pushed for 242 tax increases since entering the White House....this from the man who said he would not raise your taxes. It is 262 if you count the taxes in Obamacare.
How do you like me now?
Not sure where the 242 came from
Here's a paragraph from the article.
According to a new report, President Obama has sought 442 tax increases since taking office, though most have died because of congressional opposition. Originally Posted by boardman

j.l....Well, if you recall the first Persian Gulf War, the US Treasury was fully repaid by the Saudis and Kuwaitis for all of our military costs... Twelve years later, we got rid of Saddam and helped the Iraqis hold free elections that put the Shiite majority in power after years of suffering under Saddam's oppression. So yes, by logic the new government should reimburse us for this favor. Unfortunately, they don't do gratitude well in the Middle East and the US is too high-minded to follow the old dictum of Victoribus Spolia...
