Huckabee Won't Say No To Tax Increase

[MarkDouglasC]

Fairtax tomorrow? What if tomorrow, you figured out nursing homes would be charged sales tax? What if tomorrow, renters found out they had to pay a huge sales tax - on rent!? What if tomorrow, you ruined the new house market, by making new homes pay a high sales tax? What if tomorrow, cancer patients would have to pay high taxes on chemo therapy and surgery? You folks have no idea what your own idiot tax plan does.

"You folks have no idea what your own idiot tax plan does. "

Excellent post Mark.

From Factcheck . org:

"We found that while there are several good economic arguments for the FairTax, unless you earn more than $200,000 per year, fairness is not one of them."

This guy is a puppet for the war pigs. He would have us in IRAN before 2010. listen @:43

"In a hundred and sixty years in Arkansas , we'd never really had a broad-based, wide-spread tax cut. I was able to sign the first ever. The economic policies that we did in my state, cutting taxes, streamlining government, resulted in the largest number of job creations. I cut taxes over 90 times. Balanced the budget every year I was governor. Left a surplus of nearly a billion dollars, and did it in the face of an overwhelmingly Democratic legislature. That's a pretty good record." - Huckabee

Huckabee:

Worst GOP candidate on Immigration

Worst GOP candidate on taxes

Worst GOP candidate on pardoning criminals

Best impersonation of Jimmy Carter

.

[americamatters]

Huckabee is a good man and his skills as a pastor make him good on the stump. But when times get tough, he gets weak and soft, such as when he begged for higher taxes, and couldn't say "no" to any criminal who wanted off the hook.

1 pardon for criminals every 4 days over ten years. He's basically Jimmy Carter all over again.

[minspektor]

I really don't get this "Jimmy Carter" thing... Huckabee is absolutely nothing like Carter. For one thing, he wouldn't sell Israel out, and for another, he has better comic timing and way more guts (and has lost them... have you run a marathon and lost that much weight?)

You have been posting on every msg about Huckabee. Whose campaign do you work for?

[nrobyar]

I really hope that you have gotten you act together and come to realize that Governor Huckabee is the way to go in 2012 if we have any HOPES of getting the White House back. We need to UNIFY and start now if we are to win....

[Macwak48]

Well, I'm from Fort Smith, Ar and have met Mike Huckabee face-to-face, I do not trust the man. I do not believe him on taxes and I know he looked the other way as a local steel plant dumped dangerous hazardous material into a local park (Ben Geren Park) full of children. His office called me at home when Mike Huckabee was the governor of Arkansas and told me to leave things alone!!!!

[mmcvety]

No, what makes him conservative is that he wants the federal government to lead in policy but not run health care, education, taxes, etc... but place it back to the states. Learn to read and stop drinking kool-aid from the people that are attacking him. BTW, many of his supporters are not christians. He is clear, principled base and people know he is not giving a line of garbage when he talks.

[jaredjbrown]

a tax raiser who can talk about god in public. Is that what makes him conservative?

[sharedvoice]

watch?v=hfpThfllQGo

lol...

[blogwolf]

You gotta be kiddin' me. This is the answer, a flat tax to raise taxes. Wait till they do that and see what kind of black market develops. 23% sales tax???

People wake up. The government wants to swallow us, and Huckabee is just another pied piper leading us to doom.

Vote Ron Paul 2008. Vote as if your liberty depended on it.

[catfrenzy]

Ron paul is for the fairtax. put down your kool-aid.

[MarkDouglasC]

ron paul isnt for the "fair tax" . It was a good move by "fair tax" people to take that name. Its totally bogus, there is nothing fair with having to pay 20,000 sale tax if you need cancer surgey costing 90K.

[carcabe]

The Huckster is "compassionate conservatism" squared. He thinks that socialism and illegal immigration are Christian. If you like George W, then you will LOVE the Huckster!!!!

Howard Dean - internet success - real life flop. 

Let's see where Ron Paul is when it is over.

[barnabaspark]

Born Red, a resident of Ak, says, "I have several kids in my mostly working class family who would never get medical care if not for ARKids first. They certainly couldn't afford private schools, so when I see them bashing Huckabee for being a "tax and spend" liberal for his support and promotion of these things, it makes me shudder. How far removed from the reality most of us occupy do you have to be to condemn these things?"

[carcabe]

See the youtube video posted 11/12 in which the Huckster BEGS for new taxes of any kind. Sheesh.

[vidno1vidno1]

Carcabe, you can make anything sound good or bad depending on how you edit it. Open your mind and check out the facts, and then decide. Huckabee saved the state of Ark from going bankrupt. Check out the facts.

[ImperiusRex]

It's a good and honest answer, I think.

[thomasw78]

At least he is honest... too bad that probably means he would support a tax increase.

[hoosierdaddy1965]

Nice to hear Huckabee has discovered the Constitution. Since the warin Iraq is undeclared, will he withdraw the troops, or ask Congress for a formal Declaration of War?

[vidno1vidno1]

Who are you listening to? The war in Iraq was supported by the US House and Senate.

[someguy5554]

How is this baboon in 2nd in Iowa!!!

Just goes to show that the Iowa voters don't do research it's just nice to see a guy who's lost weight in Jeans at your door shaking hands with a smile. Huckabee isn't a real republican--he's even more fake than Romney, and even more liberal than Rudy!

[TheTimeIsNow4PAUL]

Ron Paul 08 Take back your country people!!!

[nhprman]

I see no problems here. He constantly speaks of reducing spending. He makes a RATIONAL statement about not boxing oneself into a ridiculous "no new taxes" pledge when in fact, a massive attack against the homeland, or another emergency, may indeed require taxes. You libertarian purists should wake up. Nominating a Goldwater-type economic extremist will not get us the White House.

[Chenango22]

He was a tax raiser in Arkansas...he likes to say he is conservative....but he doesn't understand the economic and revenue producing power of growth through lower taxes.

[moveoverdotorg]

Huckabee is a career preacher, not a career executive.  What does Huckabee know about economics? Nothing!

[EdwardK123]

Huckabee will only raise taxes

[oOPepsiLoverOo]

Huckabee will only raise taxes in an emergency.. say theres an extreme higher level of war or if the people demand that broken down rosds be repaired,, taxes would then have to be raised, thats why he doesn't want to be so quick to say no new taxes, He dont want to make promises he can't keep unlike others. Mike Is Respectable

[oOPepsiLoverOo]

Huckabee will be the next president! God-willing

[libertariandeist]

Huckabee is such a douche. Thank god he's gone and thank god he won't make it to president.

[ricvab]

What is a different level of war? Sethhat's right, with the mess we're in now, taxes will rise. Look at history, Reagan, Bush One and Clinton all did it. W got away with not having to because he convinced his base that borrowing and spending was a good thing.

[sethhat25]

George W. spent all our money. Whether a Democrat or Republican becomes president, taxes will be raised.
