He proposes to tax savings plans that parents create for their children’s college education.
The million-dollar phrase used by President Obama in his State of the Union address last week was “middle-class economics.” What he didn’t explain is that his middle-class economics doesn’t actually help the middle class. It hurts them.
The latest war on the middle class comes with the taxing of 529 college savings plans — which currently grow tax-free. They are very popular among middle-class families who are trying to responsibly save for their children’s college tuition.
The White House has proposed taxing these plans as a way to “simplify the tax code.” How nice of our president to tax families responsibly saving, a move that would inevitably take away opportunities for their children. I guess that’s the definition of Obama’s middle-class economics. He did say that “an America built to last insists on responsibility from everybody.”

Taxing what people save is particularly offensive....taxing what people save for their children....should be unconstitutional!
But then, dumbocrats would tax everything.....
