◼ Obama Doesn't Mention Tax Hikes on Rich . . . at High-Dollar Fundraiser - Weekly Standard

According to the Wall Street Journal, "Tickets to Monday’s [fundraising] dinner were $35,800 per person, with $5,000 going to the Obama campaign and the rest going to the Democratic National Committee. That’s the maximum contribution allowed by law."

So it's no wonder the president didn't mention his plan to hike taxes on the rich!
