Republicans Haven’t Raised Taxes in 21 Years ‘And LIBERALS THINK That Is Irresponsible
That should be a 24/7 TV commercial.
“..First off, Bush 41 didn’t raise taxes in 1991. He did it in 1990...”
Yes, and what many folks forget is that it was part of a deal with the democrats. They would cut spending by a certain unrecalled amount and he would agree to raise taxes. He held up his part, they did not. Then they used the taxes to beat him in the general election. The democrats have always snookered Republicans in deals like this - crafty bunch.
“Since that action, 21 years, Republicans have not voted for a single broad-based tax increase,”
..and your point is? Is it Un-american to NOT raise taxes, Panty Sheilds?
So the liberals are admitting that the goal is to slowly jack up the rates over time so that they get everything?
F You M Shields, You J*rk off.
This site spends a lot of time blasting Republicans - often justifiably - but 21 years of not voting for tax increases is commendable.
Crafty?
Defined (for Democrats) pledging your honor and defaulting.
An idiot thing to say; but, then, Mark Shields is an idiot.
Democrats haven’t cut taxes since Kennedy. They raised them to 90 percent, then made little cuts here and there. Only Republicans cut them, and they didn’t ever do it enough.
"Liberal Democrat admits the truth, GOP does not raise taxes, Democrats do!"
Question for Mark Maxi Shields: Did the fact that President George
Herbert Walker Bush raised taxes cause you to vote to re-elect him
in 1992? Thought so.
I see Mr. Shields has not stopped drinking...
Anyone who thinks he could have vetoed it better think again
If a tax rate was appropriate 21 years ago, why should it not be appropriate today? Why should it be assumed that taxes must always increase?
Besides, the Republicans don’t need to raise taxes. We have Democrats to do that!
Those are third party members who blast republicans because their party and candidates don’t have any chances
What is irresponsible, Mr. Shields, is Democrats spending more and more and more.
How many years has it been since the Democrats ceased to increase their spending?
That needs to be the focus of the discussion.
BTW, Republicans... If you raise taxes, we will toss you out on your ass so fast, you won’t have time to pack. It doesn’t matter who you are. You raise taxes, you’re gone.
Just in case you were wondering on that point...
Yes, this clip is a fabulous endorsement of Republicans, up and down the ticket! Thanks, Mark Shields!
Mitt Romney will solve that problem for you, Mark. He’ll make you proud.
