Mitch Daniels open to VAT, oil tax hike
These comments come on the heels of a September profile in Newsweek, in which Daniels said tax increases might be necessary to tackle the federal deficit. “At some stage, there could well be a tax increase,” Daniels told the magazine. “They say we can’t have grown-up conversations. I think we can.”
Daniels has previously clashed with Norquist over the former’s refusal to sign the “No New Taxes” pledge.
Mitch has been known to raise more than a few taxes.
