I would argue we do want lower taxes. It is the only position we have seen in decades. They have completely lost any ability to communicate core principles WHY taxes need to be low. In essence, Obama has used a populist approach to match us on taxes for nearly all the population and at the same time create a wedge, us vs them, that have taken votes from our side. We never countered effectively. It isn’t the wrong position, but a lack of core conservatism why our approach is better for all.
I would agree that the GOP says it wants to lower taxes.
It’s actions seem to indicate a completely different mind set.
