foreclosure of a dream!

"Read my lips: No new taxes." And what did he do? He raised taxes.

[CoolCat123450]

Well, at least he kept his word raising 'existing' taxes.

[Jesus Christ]

All i'm, saying is, if Republicans controlled congress when he was president, there would've been NO tax increases.

[ILovestorms]

The Democrats. However, he compromised with them. George Bush agreed to raise taxes under one condition: that the democrat-controlled congress would agree to cut spending. Unfortunately, the compromise fell through. The 41st president should have vetoed the bill that increased taxes but he signed it.

[Jesus Christ]

Only congress can raise taxes. Remind me a gain who controlled congress when he was president?

[1945joshuaruiz]

There can't be a president who cuts taxes now. Why? The liberal and people who want food stamps and those government welfare checks won't allow that to happen.

[alexxew]

What? Temporarily before being forced to raise them in order to plug a budget deficit? Yeah... I'm gonna have to say no to that pipe dream.

[Jack Shepard]

I hope there will be president who cut taxes like Reagan

[Patrick Henry]

I love alot of presidents, democratic and republican. I happen to be more on the conservative republican side than the liberal democratic side but that's just me. One of my favorite presidents was Ronald Reagen, I thought he was funny, a good guy, and a great president. I also loved George H. W. Bush. I don't see why everyone has to blame everything on a certain president in the past, even if it is true. Stop fucking whining, and do something about it.
