I sure don’t see Cantor saying tax increase in this article. Closing loop holes needs to be looked at.
What constitutes a loophole? If you “close a loophole,” you increase taxes, i.e., revenue. The is the same difference as calling an illegal alien an undocumented worker. Playing word games may fool some people, but it won’t fool the Tea Party. If the Reps cave, we need a third party. We may lose in the short run, but it is the only way we can break the stanglehold of the current one party establishment with two wings.
