1 - I didn't say allowing a temporary tax cut to expire was an affirmative move to raise taxes. It is a tax increase, but its a tax increase without such an affirmative move.

2 - Many tax cuts increase taxes on some people. That doesn't make them a tax increase. If specific short term tax breaks are allowed to expire as part of or in the context of a broader tax cut then there was a tax cut, not an increase. If they are allowed to expire in the context of not allowing other larger (and longer term) tax cuts to expire than the combination is ambiguous in terms of being a tax increase, it could be read either way.
