What Norman Thomas, could never achieve Obama might. Many ways to skin a cat and the way seems to be subversion of American primary ideologies with those that are: even alien, using the methods of a shell game(slight of hand) and obfuscation of true intents.
An Obama presidency with a Congressional rubber stamp is certain to implement the following new taxes or increases:
1) an increase in the marginal tax rate for individuals and small companies earning $250,000 — almost certain to creep into lower income levels due to persistent and growing public deficits
2) an increase in capital gains tax — almost certain to be extended to dividend income to prevent tax-advantaged distributions to investors
3) a return of the death tax at a minimum rate of 55%
4) a tax on 401k contributions
5) a carbon emissions tax to please the Greens in the Democratic party and his Comrades in Europe
6) a $65 billion/year tax funding the Global Poverty Act tax to be passed early in his administration
And these represent only the tip of the iceberg, i.e., those tax increases embedded in the Obama platform or supported in previous bills. Once the anointed one becomes Messiah president, we will see the full litany of that which he has been careful not to reveal.

While the above is mostly a parody, this is not.
