Romney says Huckabee raised taxes more than Bill Clinton

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

This confuses me.

I recall distinctly that Bill Clinton raised taxes more than anyone in the history of the world... more than Genghis Khan... more than Caligula... more than Colonel Green of Mars.



PREDICTION: There have been arguments on DU about which of our Senator (and former Senator) candidates has the most liberal voting record. But we all know that whoever wins the nomination will be identified as having the most liberal voting record in history!!!!! So just wait a while.

1. Inflation.

Bill Clinton raised more taxes than Huckabee if it's calculated in 1990 dollars.

Yes, I'm kidding. I actually have no clue.

2. Romney Just Makes Stuff Up

Does it all the time. Enormous lies with zero basis in truth - none whatsoever. Any correlation with truth is coincidence.

Only O'Reilly is comparable, as far as I can tell.

3. Romney think he's got a better record?

He was too much of a coward to raise taxes so he inflated fees instead which is why now in MA you can pay more for the opportunity to fight some tickets than you could possible save by contesting them.

4. Fiscal conservatives hate Huckabee. Pro-rapists & creationists love him. nt

5. Huckster and taxes

Arkansas has a balanced budget law so if you spend more you have to pay for it. The Huckster liked to spend money (other people's money) so he prolly did raise taxes a bunch.

Romney's right on the Huckster being soft on crime. He let hundreds of criminals out of jail, including at least 12 murderers.

6. Romney is a fucking fascist. I am suspicious of anything he says.
