The Obama tax hikes were largely aimed at high capital incomes, though the accompanying high pay tax hikes was hardly "screwing the voters" either.

Pretty sure the proposed taxes in the article you linked to did not pass. The only major tax change Obama was able to get through was the Obamacare related 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax.
