"Are you kidding me? Plenty of liberals on this thread have pointed out how Clinton raised taxes in 1994 and linked that to the economic prosperity of the 90's."

Your reasoning is overly simplistic. Raising taxes did not kill the economic recovery. Raising taxes did result in a reduction in the deficit which does have many long term economic benefits. Calling it "taxing your way to prosperity" is an attempted straw man to ridicule the reality of that.

I suppose you can say that Clinton did that. But is deliberately using words with negative connotations. It is sort of like saying a guy who talks with his young niece as "repeatedly engaged in social intercourse with his under aged niece"...
