Why Republicans Will Raise Your Taxes

Its only a matter of time until fiscal responsibility returns to the Republicans. Democrats tax the rich and Republicans tax those who aren't. Guess the question voters need to ask themselves is "Am I rich?"

By proposing substantial, long-deferred spending cuts—Medicare? Social Security? defense?—the GOP could revive its reputation as the party of fiscal responsibility and win back moderates (and likely some young voters, who will be glad to dodge the baby-boom bullet). If Republicans have to accept minor tax increases from the other side of the aisle in order to get their proposals passed—reluctantly, like Reagan—then so be it. ’Tis a small price to pay for, you know, saving the country.

Yeah, right, the Republicans were all about spending cuts when they were in charge. Oh, wait, that's wrong. The Republicans were responsible for the largest entitlement in history. This is just wishful thinking. Republicans don't care about the country, they only care about their party. They will never accept tax increases, and even if they do, they will only be on the middle-class and they will slam the Democrats for it at election time in spite of insisting on it and voting for it.
