Nah. A good deal of obama's supposed 'tax cuts' are actually 'tax credits' as in he just gives people a handout and then calls it a tax cut. Something like 40% of american households already have an effective income tax rate of zero or lower(ie. they get more in existing tax credits than they pay in taxes).
Obama is just doing the typical in using government money to buy the votes of the feckless, the envious and the failures. He's just trying to wrap it up in tax cut language to try and make him sound less of a communist.
Personally I think he should have gone further and claimed he would boost private sector wealth redistribution by abolishing bloated beurocracies such as the department of justice and slashing needless red-tape like the constitution.
