You can not back it up and you never will be able to back it up.<BR/>When Democrats are elected this year, I can't even imagine taxes going up. Anon, we're not in the 1980's, move on and admit that Republicans have made alot of fiscal mistakes. What is sad is that few Republicans ever admit that they have not fulfilled their campaign promises of smaller government. But too many do raise taxes and blame someone elsce. <BR/>It's no surprise that more and more are tired of hearing the same old b.s. every year from the Republican Party.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21680780.post-40036262761883298812008-03-20T12:14:00.000-06:002008-03-20T12:14:00.000-06:00If the financial sector had been better regulated,...If the financial sector had been better regulated, we wouldn't be in this current mortgage mess. If the food industry were better regulated, we wouldn't have a food recall every other month. Our government has a vital role to play in conducting oversight of businesses. The Republican "death to government" message doesn't play very well in the current environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21680780.post-64983560958955529062008-03-20T10:35:00.000-06:002008-03-20T10:35:00.000-06:00"In the past 20 years, no Democrat has raised our ..."In the past 20 years, no Democrat has raised our taxes."<BR/><BR/>Gee, I wonder why?

These so-called "fiscal conservatives" love to spend our money on projects that they want (soccer stadiums, conference centers, etc). In the past 20 years, no Democrat has raised our taxes. It is clear that Republicans are the "tax and spend" party.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21680780.post-10766925623109417562008-03-20T07:05:00.000-06:002008-03-20T07:05:00.000-06:00No, anon #3, the logical conclusion from the carto...No, anon #3, the logical conclusion from the cartoon is clear: those who oppose more government are bad.
