Do you have a source?
By the way, the top 50 list, I'm reading currently,
#12 for example
12- No tax increases for families earning less than $250,000: “I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase.
Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes,” vowed candidate Obama. Yet as president,
Obama raised the tax on cigarettes by 62 cents per pack. He also introduced a tax on indoor tanning services. And the president’s signature Affordable Care Act, aka ‘Obamacare,’ amounts to a tax on those individuals who choose to go without– or who cannot afford– health insurance.
Increasing taxes on cigarettes and tanning salons, that isn't taxing people who earn less than $250,000 directly, unless there were an empirical fact such as "All people who earn under $250,000 smoke and use tanning salons". Furthermore, it is always a platform of the Conservatives that the lower-income people should stop getting food stamps if they can afford cigarettes, beer, etc... So taxing cigarettes to make them less affordable and therefore less appealing to lower-income families should be something conservatives are happy about. I don't see this as a bad thing, so the list is at least "Top 49" since this one doesn't count.
Not to mention I've noticed at least a couple of these are quoting the U.K.'s Guardian, well I lived in the U.K. for a few years and I am aware of that publisher... They are the equivalent to America's Wal-Mart checkout line magazines "Cher gives birth to Alien Baby!"
(Guardian is very left liberal leaning and makes a lot of Conservative British angry)
