GOP Political Euphemism (s) - Fast Facts #3

GOP Quote: "Should Democrats get their way; every income tax bracket will increase on Jan. 1, 2011. Every single one."

Factual Response:

Less than 3-months ago Mike Pence made this statement: Fact is the Democrat plan would have provided a tax cut to every taxpayer in America. Fact was that persons earning greater than $250,000 in adjusted gross income on their 1040 tax form would have had to pay higher taxes on the first dollar above $250,000.

This means they received a tax cut on the first $250,000 of their earnings but pay a higher tax rate on every dollar at $250,001 and above.
