Python programming problem

I am trying to make a program that makes the math sequence 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 18, 
23, 28 and so on. But when I run the program it does the math sequence 2, 4, 6, 
8, 10 and so on. Here is the program code below.

#The following program will calculate the following math sequence
#2 4 7 10 14 18 23 28 and so on.

#The following lines will create three variables a, b, and c with
#values of 2, 0, and 0
a = 2
b = 0
c = 0
#The following line will create a variable count
#with  a value of 0
count = 0
#The following line will create a variable new_count
#with a value of 2
new_count = 2
#The following line will create a variable max_count
#with a value of 30
max_count = 30
while count < max_count:
#The above line while count < max_count:
#tells the program to loop until the variable
#count reaches 30
#The following line will create a variable d
#witch will equal the formula a+b+c
 d = a+b+c
#The following line will make b equal to d
#as the program runs, the values within these two variables will change
 b = d
#The following line will increase the variable count by 1
#each time the program loops
 count = count+1
#The following if statement will tell the program to increase
#the new_count variable by 2 and the c variable by 1
#if the count variable is equivalent to the new_count variable
 if count == new_count:
  new_count == new_count+2
  c == c+1
#The following line will display the value of d
#As the program loops, the output will not go line by line
 print d,

What am I doing wrong?
