It doesn't matter what Chuckleberry's rationale for raising taxes was. The fact is that lowering taxes increases the income to the treasury. This is accomplished by increasing incentive and economic activity. It has worked every time it's tried.
On the other hand, raising taxes decreases incentive and hurts the economy, and usually as a result decreases the take to the treasury.
True conservatives know this principle. Liberals don't care because they don't understand economics and because they want to raise taxes to reduce economic freedom and control the populace.
Hucklebee's track record as guv is that of a big gubmint Liberal, pure and simple. He just happens to have an R behind his name.
Well said.
