During the campaign, Obama said that he'd raise certain rates even if he knew that the result was less tax revenue.
Really? That seems to be a lose-lose proposition to me.
Why do you believe that revenue is Obama's only goal?
Something to do with the squillion-dollar deficit.
Obama is a politician. Revenue is one of many tools, not a goal.
To be fair, the amount of revenue "lost" by these increases is dwarfed by the "stimulus".
