When Is Obama's Tax Hike Not a Tax Hike? When You Ask the NYT

Today the New York Times seemed a bit, well, confused. They asked the question, "is the Obama tax plan a tax hike?" Perhaps they missed the following elements:
  • Raise the top tax rate from 35% to 40%
  • Raise the small business tax rate from 38% to 55%
  • Raise the capital gains tax from 15% to 28%
  • Raise the dividends tax from 15% to 40%
  • Ensnare millions of taxpayers in the AMT trap


If you go to the NYT link in their story they call the  Tax Policy Center nonpartisan???

what a JOKE
