NO TAX AND SPEND HUCKSTER SHOULD BE OUR NOMINEE.

“By the end of his ten-year tenure, Governor Huckabee was responsible for a 37% higher sales tax in Arkansas, 16% higher motor fuel taxes, and 103% higher cigarette taxes according to Americans for Tax Reform (01/07/07), garnering a lifetime grade of D from the free-market Cato Institute.”

Huckabee’s literature states that he’s a fiscal conservative. It states:
“* Passed Arkansas’s first-broad-based tax cut package and cut over 90 additional taxes — reducing taxes by almost $380 million for the people of Arkansas.
* Balanced the Arkansas state budget five times, eliminated the capitol gains tax for the sale of a home, and indexed the state income tax to inflation to keep people from being forced into higher tax brackets.
* Left office with a surplus of more than $800 million.”
