Which rich Republican is ok with a tax hike?
 

Is he a true Republican if he advocates a tax hike?

President Obama, Clinton Prosperity Requires Clinton-Sized Government

If the Republicans were smart, which they are not, they would endorse the Simpson Bowles Plan with certain changes, tax reform and means testing of SS and Mediscare; not ten years from now but now. This would force Obama to at least talk rather than dictate.

Frankly I think Obama could care less about what happens to the economy.

Was either of the Bush's a true Republican if they advocated tax increases? I grossed 3 million last year, and I am not OK with the tax increase.

I've always respected Steve Forbes, he's a man of principle and wisdom.

I know this isn't in the OP but it is worth exploring: Grover Norquist's pledge is idiotic and, given our terrible situation brought on by the current and last administrations, dangerous.

We have to raise to taxes on everyone. We need to raise taxes on everyone. We need to make sure everyone pays taxes.

Grover had his day where he got uniform adherence to his pledge which is pretty impressive. However, his day has come to an end and the RNC needs to move away from him for a season if they want to remain politically alive.

Tax revenues are higher when the tax rate is lower. We do not have a tax problem we have a spending problem.
