Congress debates ‘Taxmageddon’

The snot nose on the phone who worships Reagan has no idea how much or how many times the gypper raised taxes.
It is ludicrous that a Grover Norquist apologist who works for corporate America's propaganda foundation,knows so little about the basis for their hallowed No Taxes creed.
I remember some of the exchange between Reagan and Bush at their debate,Bush claimed that He would not raise taxes to pull the country out of the recession.
I believe Reagan's reply was,paraphrasing here:He is going to raise taxes,he won't have a choice,he is just not going to call them tax increases.
Reagan went on later in the debate to label Bush's plan Fuzzy Math and Bush claimed Reagan was using Voodoo Economics.
Both of those descriptions were entirely accurate and at the time tickled my funny bone immensely.
Later in the GHWB administration he would implement Revenue Enhancements and Service Charges on top of the old fashioned Tax Increases.

What a lousy state the conservative intellectuals have sunk to.
