Spread the Word: REPUBLICANS WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES: GEORGE H.W. BUSH DID IN 1991 >>
If you hear ANYONE fearmongering that the Democrats will raise your taxes, throw this in their face and enjoy the precious aftermath of crow-eating and embarassment.


Read My Lips.

In his speech to the Republican Convention on Aug. 18, 1988, Bush predicted that, if he was elected, "the Congress will push me to raise taxes, and I'll say no, and they'll push, and I'll say no, and they'll push again, and I'll say to them, 'Read my lips: no new taxes.'" In his budget for 1991, Bush raised the top income-tax rate and boosted levies on gasoline, tobacco, and booze.

3. Which is Worse?
Tax and Spend Dem's?
Or Borrow and Spend Repugs?

Either way, we end up taxing someone; either ourselves or our children.
