To help frame the debate around tax day, I review President Obama’s promises and actions on taxes in a guest column for The Weekly Standard:

Last Election Day, Barack Obama had most Americans convinced they could trust him as much as anybody with their taxes. Today, we know better. The president and his allies have postponed or altogether abandoned his promised tax cuts, and are instead laying the groundwork to raise taxes on everybody.

One coming tax hike that I mention in the article is worth noting: The effective tax increase on 95% of Americans if the “Making Work Pay” tax credit is allowed to expire in two years.

Here’s guessing I’m not the last Republican to ask why Obama is making 95% of taxpayers pay higher taxes in two years…
