Hokum, indeed. It is just a thin veneer of justification politicians use to raise taxes.
To me, it is an indelible marker. If somebody talks about growing income inequality, you just know that tax hike is coming. It is an immediate disqualifier, as far as I am concerned.
I will not vote for Huckabee in the primary, because he has shown me that he will raise taxes, not only in his tenure in Arkansas (Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everywhere in the United States was like Arkansas?), but because he has blathered on about income inequality.
Wasn't Huckabee the guy that started the famous "tax me more" fund?
