Quite clear in both cases. Just so we continue to be clear, neither of those two things are what you said before.

No, you didn't. You may have MEANT it, but the words you said have a clear meaning, and it's one quite distinct from what you're insisting now that you were talking about.

This is clear, but only because of his stance that he will not raise taxes at all.

There is no evidence this is the case, this is simply your assertion.

Your evidence of this fact is George HW Bush. This could just as easily be turned around on Obama, by saying that if his tax on >$250k income doesn't produce the revenue he needs for his expanded programs (and there is certainly some evidence it will not), then he will be forced to tax the middle class, because there is only so much blood in the proverbial stone.

See how inane the argument becomes?
