For decades I have heard Politicians promise they will help the middle class. They are all liars. I doubt this will be any different.

I remember one year John Boehner promised a tax on the rich all year. Then we woke up on Christmas and the Social Security deduction was raised 2%.

You want to tax the rich? Remove the upper limit on the SS tax!
