If the President increases taxes--EVEN MORE will stay home,,,,,and some of those that don't--will not provide the enthusiasm and turnout that would otherwise occur.
Right . . .and my point is; there is always the danger of the 'slippery slope' when giving power to or 'back to' Democrats. Republican's who stayed home and 'sent the message'; should not be in anyway, disappointed in the politcs they helped 'reap'; and the same message stands for the next election.
There are two sides to the 'ask and you shall receive' dictum. . .giving power to the Democrats, IMHO. ..is not a viable solution to Republiclaln politics or a constructive alternative for the future well-being of America. . .What we have received is Conservative Principles stuck now, between a 'rock and a hard place'. . .
