Hilary Clinton. A blueprint to rebuild the road to middle-class prosperity. Provide tax-relief for the middle class and address social security without putting burdens hard-working families or seniors.

Barack Obama. A plan with a trillion dollar tax increase on America's hard working families. Lifting the cap on social security taxes to send more of Nevada's families hard-earned dollars to Washington.

Currently, workers pay Social Security taxes on the first $97,500 in income — anything above that is exempt. Obama said he would consider keeping the exemption for up to around $200,000, but anyone earning more than that should have to contribute more. He was not specific about what he would do.

“There might be some exemptions, but once people are making over $200,000 to $250,000, they can afford to pay a little more in payroll tax,” Obama said.

“It doesn’t just fall on the wealthiest of Americans … It would be a trillion-dollar tax increase on middle class families, and I think there are better approaches to solving the long-term challenges we face in Social Security,” she said, without elaborating.

Three months ago, Clinton told an Iowa voter privately that she would consider raising the income limit as long as there was a “gap,” with no Social Security taxes on income from $97,500 to around $200,000. An Associated Press reporter overheard the conversation.same exact plan as Obama.

You can't get any more obvious than that... a Trillion dollar tax hike for the middle class??? At least with Obama's Iraq war stance, people who don't study a little or have the necessary reasoning, will keep believing Obama has flip-flopped. This one is so easy to see through.
