Barack Obama promised to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans. But according to Mark Penn's exit polling data, those Americans helped put Obama in the White House: 49% of those voters making over $100,000 voted for Obama. (To compare, Bill Clinton got 38% of that vote in 1996.)
This isn't surprising. Despite accusations that Republicans favor the wealthy, Democrats have a recent history of high-dollar support. Naturally, those who can afford to pay the higher taxes probably have no problem with a "progressive" tax reform plan.
