"a guy who promises to raise taxes"
It amazes me how ignorant people are about our tax system. It is progressive now, and has been since at least 1913. Obama's tax plan's highest bracket is lower than Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and even Reagan. Find "History of progressivity in federal income tax" here: en.wikipedia.org
