"Democrats will raise taxes! (on you)" debunked right here by AP

Eat this you right wing pundit lying sacks of shit.


WASHINGTON - Renewing expired tax breaks for businesses and college tuition is the Democrats' top tax priority in the wake of their election victory this week.

Next up, increasing and simplifying tax breaks for college and fixing the alternative minimum tax that threatens millions of middle-income families with higher taxes.

Oil companies, watch your back. Some of your tax breaks are on the chopping block

The measures are a sharp contrast to Republicans' warnings to voters before the election that Democrats were eager to raise taxes on wages, married couples and investments.

"If the Democrats take the House, your taxes are going up," Bush said at a Georgia campaign rally last week. "They may try to hide their intentions, but that's what's going to happen."

2. You missed the point-or maybe you don't understand the difference between us and them

The article showed that Democrats DO indeed plan on raising taxes-ON THE RICH, the oil companies, but they plan on lowering taxes on the middle class.


I for one fully support lower taxes on the middle class. Hell I think we shouldn't be paying any at all to tell you the truth.

6. When Bush said...

"If the Democrats take the House, your taxes are going up,"

He was talking to his "base" - you know, the haves and the have mores.
