Will there be a Huckabee scream when he loses Iowa?

[Lancey Howard]

Ironically, Giuliani might be the most reliable candidate when it comes to many conservative issues (such as tax cuts) because he has the most to prove to conservative Republicans. He promises to appoint Scalia/Thomas/Alito-type judges.

I honestly think I could hold my nose and vote for Giuliani easier than I could for Mitt or the Huckster.

This included retroactive new taxes on incomes, sales revenue, severance pay and nonqualified pensions for individuals who work or trade in Massachusetts but live elsewhere, such as New Hampshire. In their first year alone, these new taxes cost out-of-state residents some $36 million.

Two points:

One, leveling the tax playing field is not necessarily always bad.

Second. $36 million in new 'fees' is not that outlandish. No taxes are welcome, but that is a drop in the bucket, relatively speaking.

Especially when compared to the tax policies of many well-respected conservative heroes I'm sure most Freepers would admire.

I will never vote for Giuliani in any election for any reason.

Foremost, he will lose.

Switch to Thompson.

How Huckabee, Romney, Giuliani rate on taxes...

the article on tax experience shows Giuliani has the most experience on taxes!!!!

Romney also sought revenue by closing $283 million in "tax loopholes." Put another way, he slipped nooses around previously untaxed activities. This included retroactive new taxes on incomes, sales revenue, severance pay and nonqualified pensions for individuals who work or trade in Massachusetts but live elsewhere, such as New Hampshire. In their first year alone, these new taxes cost out-of-state residents some $36 million.

Mitt raised fees to the tune of $300 Mil

Deroy Murdock is hardly an unbiased source. He has been shamelessly shilling for Giulianni from day 1.

[Condor51]

"You are the most successful tax cutter in modern New York history and, on balance, the most successful tax cutter in the Republican field today," Americans for Tax Reform's Grover Norquist wrote former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani Dec. 3.

by, Deroy Murdock

As soon as I saw Deroy's name I knew there'd be some journalistic fellatio for Rooty Tooty going on.

Rooty is to Tax Cuts what a Crucifix is to a Vampire.

• Rooty endorsed Democrat Mario Cuomo over Republican Pataki because Pataki promised to lower taxes.
  
• Rooty threw a hissy fit when the NY Legislature was going to eliminate the Commuter Tax.
• Rooty sued the US Gubmint - all the way to SCOTUS - because NYC was going to loose an ongoing (perpetual) $200 Million per year Earmark (PORK) to help pay Medicare costs for Rooty's pet illegals. And where oh where did that $200 Mill Rooty wanted sooooo much come from -- U.S. Taxpayers, from Maine to California. Oh, and that 'win' for Rooty ended the Line Item Veto. (Thanks Rooty)

Now as to that Commuter Tax.

When that hit the national news a few months back Rooty's fellow traveler Mayor Daley (DEM) of Chicago said that was the DUMBEST thing he ever heard of. He said he WANTED suburbanites to work in and visit Chicago, not drive them away or penalize them with a dumb tax.

So you know it and the person fighting for it is a MORON when a Democrat is a against a tax.

That's Rooty and 'taxes'.
And I'm sure some NY FReepers have a lot of info on the FEES Rooty raised.
