Let's see now, their idol Reagan tripled the US debt and had to raise taxes. Hmmm, George Bush Sr. (read my lips, I will not raise taxes) raised taxes) and Mulroney raised taxes by creating the GST. Then - Bush Jr. lowered taxes and we know what happened there - economic crisis.<br /><br />I guess we could say that Conservatives (so-called family values people) don't give a damn about their kids and grandkids. They also can't face truth and that's cowardly.RuralSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552973218865121867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-85990013356553555022009-04-15T07:22:00.000-04:002009-04-15T07:22:00.000-04:00I'm absolutely positive that Harper will raise...I'm absolutely positive that Harper will raise taxes at some point to reduce the debt - IF he stays in power. He is, after all, "Mr. Say One Thing, Do The Opposite."<br /><br />Of course taxes will have need to be raised eventually & anyone can see that.
