\nThe $544 billion tax hike would violate one of President Obama’s ironclad campaign promises: No family will pay higher tax rates than they would have paid in the 1990s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Did anyone really believe that promise when Rangel kept talking about allowing Bush’s tax cuts to sunset and adding more taxes?
