Why does Obama promise to lower taxes on 95%of the people and raise it on the rest?

"Promise" is the operative word here. When taxes are raised on any segment of the population they affect everyone whether in direct taxes, increased costs of goods and services, lower wages and loss of jobs. Democrats repeatedly and often claim to be better educated than Republicans, but I have found none who could p a basic math test! The appeal of Obama's promise is wealth distribution - talk about Voo Doo economics!
