Dems Seek Higher Taxes
Press Release
Democratic Candidates to Taxpayers:
Read Our Lips -- We Will Raise Taxes
“Too many people have made too much money” -- Hillary Clinton
“To the extent that we've got a fiscal crisis right now, part of it is prompted by a bullheaded insistence on the part of the president, for example, that we should extend all of his tax cuts” -- Barack Obama
“Yes, we’ll have to raise taxes” — John Edwards
Washington - It is now official: The major Democratic presidential candidates are running on the Walter Mondale economic platform. According to the New York Times, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards have pledged to raise America’s taxes in order to fund their overbloated spending programs. If elected president, they refuse to extend many of the Bush tax cuts, including a variety of income, capital gains, and dividend cuts.
“With the Dow approaching an unprecedented 13,000, it is clear that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts have created greater economic prosperity for all Americans while putting the country on a path towards a balanced budget,” Club for Growth President Pat Toomey said. “Apparently, the Democratic presidential candidates have a problem with low taxes, new jobs, greater economic growth, and shrinking deficits.”
“Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards think they can spend your money better than you can,” Mr. Toomey continued. “One need only look at the outrageous pork projects the new Democratic Congress stuffed into the war supplemental bill to know that tax dollars are better left in the hands of the taxpayers. The American people didn’t like Mondale’s tax hikes in 1984, and they won’t like the Mondale plan any better in 2008.”
