PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama tax pledge up in smoke

And then who knows what after that; he needs to raise $10T.

"I can make a firm pledge," he said in Dover, N.H., on Sept. 12. "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."
