On September 12, 2008 while campaigning in [[Dover]], [[New Hampshire]], then [[Barack Hussein Obama 2008 Presidential campaign|candidate Obama]] made this solemn promise to the American people:
:''I can make a firm pledge: under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 will see their taxes increase - not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes.'' <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8erePM8V5 Video</ref><ref>http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/09/obamas_remarks_in_dover_new_ha.html Transcript</ref><br>
As of January 1, 2011, income taxes and payroll taxes are slated to increase on all working people in the [[United States]], including the poor and those least able to afford it. A working family with four children, for example, will pay $215 more ''per month'' under [[President Obama]] and the Congressional Democrats economic program.

Obamaonomics proposes raising [[income tax]]es on all working Americans effective January 1, 2010. The rate of increase on the poorest workers, those least able to afford it, is 50%, from a progressive tax rate of 10% to a rate of 15%. By contrast the upper 2%, those with taxable income of $250,000, will only experience a 10% increase, from 36% to 39.6%.
