After Denying Obama Would Raise Taxes on Middle Class During Campaign, Times Calls for It

After Denying Obama Would Raise Taxes on Middle Class During Campaign, Times Calls for It: "Times reporter Larry Rohter during the campaign: 'Under [Obama's] plan, only individuals making $200,000 or more and families earning more than $250,000 a year, accounting for less than 2 percent of the population, would pay additional taxes, and more than 90 percent of the population would receive a tax break of some sort.' The Times' lead editorial today: 'Mr. Obama will have to face up to what he has so far avoided: the need to raise taxes broadly to rein in deficits.'"
