Tax And Spend Republicans

I know you're focusing on the R and D thing more than the issue itself, but I'm just sort of ignoring that.

I've never had a problem with taxes..

it's just fun watch anti-government, anti-tax republicans vote for republicans who double their taxes..

and it's really odd that they waited until after the election to double the gas tax..

What is equally ironic is that the big government, big taxing Dems in the house decided to go home for 2 weeks rather than take up this tax & spend bill.

yeah..

I'm looking forward to Republicans berating "tax and spend" Democrats in the next election.. and voting these Republicans right back into office..

Republicans are funny in that they believe whatever the media tells them to believe.

strange that no republicans are coming here to denounce republicans for their tax and spend habits..

You have free reign for at least a few more days.

good point..

I expect the Republicans to come back anytime.. see this thread.. see that Republicans voted to double the gas tax in Michigan.. and be outraged at the party they support.

pretty predictable response from a republican.. - in all seriousness, though, thanks for at least chiming in..

the doubling of the gas tax by the Republicans will effect everyone. Yes, rednecks who drive big trucks, SUVs, etc will feel it - but folks (like me) who don't have a car will absorb it in different ways. You don't think that the corporate office at Meijer is going to allow it to cut into their profit margin, do you?

again, I don't mind paying taxes - never have. In fact, I'm an advocate for more/higher taxes. It's just fun listening to the collective {crickets} from Republicans as their anti-government, anti-tax candidates are now part of the {gasp} government that they hate so much.. and they're raising your taxes..
