Huckabee, a fiscal conservative, pushed through the Arkansas Legislature the first major, broad-based tax cuts in state history — a $90 million tax relief package for Arkansas families. He led efforts to establish a Property Taxpayers' Bill of Rights and created a welfare reform program that reduced the welfare rolls in the state by almost 50 percent. He also doubled the standard deduction to $2,000 for single taxpayers and $4,000 for those who are married. He proposed The Property Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights which established a uniform notice and due process procedure to guarantee that all Arkansans will be treated fairly in property tax assessment.

Yeah, him and Jimmy have a lot in common.

Overall the average tax burden in Arkansas went up 47% under Huckabee. That’s a fact that can’t be spun. One can talk about reductions all day long, but if 10 taxes are reduced by a dollar each while one tax is increased by $100.00, one cannot rightfully say that there was a tax decrease.

The overall tax burden is the only objective measure by which to judge, and when all was said and done by Huckabee, the overall tax burden on Arkansans had gone up substantially.

I believe Jimmy had a mixed record on taxes as a governor as well. The Huckster was rolled on taxes many times in Arkansas. He’s likely to do the same in DC.
