I agree 100 percent!! Every republican trying to get my vote always tries to pull this sh*t with me too. Sometimes I believe some of them use this as an excuse not to vote for a black man. lol seriously.

Because Republicans are for less taxes and Democrats are always for more taxes.

Just listen to the news. Mind you I said LISTEN.
Pelosi and Reed are busy right now on how they are going to spend more money, but woops, they have to get it somewhere — oh well, raise taxes or print more money and lower the value of the dollar, which is the same as more taxes or lower wages or however you want to interpret it.

They know how easy it is to manipulate their base with the same empty promises election cycle.

IT IS THE REPUBS WHICH ARE THE BIG SPENDERS AND NOT THE DEMS ALWAYS HAVE BEEN BUT NOT ON PROGRAMS FOR THE JOES THE PLUMBER. UNDER REAGAN I HAD MY TAXES INCREAED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE HE WAS GIVING HANDOUTS TO BIG BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BUY MORE RANCHES AND BIG YACHTS IN ARGENTINA AND COLOMBIA AND THE YACHTS TO GET THERE IN A LEISURE WAY

“full war on the poorest in this country” = lie

Oh and by the way, adjusted for inflation, tax revenue went UP under Reagan and went DOWN in the year Bush ‘41 new taxes took effect.

It makes their base feel vindicated. Meanwhile tax cuts have become a boring, not effective continually used to way to stimulate the economy. Let’s actually use our minds and think of real solutions!

they are pandering to a specific faction in our society. the republican base are taxophobic.

Because they Lie just like Joe the Lying Plumber….
