Conservatives Bristle at Possible Tax Hike

02/18/2005


By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Two words could cast a pall over any gathering of conservatives celebrating President Bush (news - web sites)'s second term and GOP gains in the House and Senate: tax increase.


President Bush this week acknowledged the possibility of making high-income workers pay more Social Security (news - web sites) taxes as part of his plan for private Social Security accounts, and that notion has conservatives alarmed.

The last Republican who broke a "no new taxes" pledge was booted out after one term, they reminded. His name: George H.W. Bush.

"People are quite angry about Bush opening a Pandora's box of tax increases," said Stephen Moore, an anti-tax activist with the Free Enterprise Fund. "It's almost like `read my lips' all over again."

"My antennae go up as soon as I hear the `t' word," he said.

1. effin rich people

they don't pay their bills, they don't want to pay their taxes, they just want to sit up in the clouds and spit on the poor.

What admirable Christian values! I'd pray for Jesus to come back, if I could watch him slap Delay and Hastert around like the leatherbitches they are.

2. once again, nobody wants to pay for their success.

This country gave them a canvas to become or stay wealthy and they dont want to give back, is that any way to support their war efforts?
