The answer: 134%

That means that even if Obama raises taxes on the wealthy, it won't do anything to cut the deficit. In fact, he would have to raise their taxes to 100% to even come close, which would be impossible anyways.

So that means one of 3 things:

1. Obama will break his promise and tax the bottom 95%
2. Obama will drastically cut spending (which given the way he's increased spending, it's highly unlikely)
3. Obama will let the deficit continue to grow out of control, bankrupting our country.
