Raising taxes will also piss off the Tea Party movement and result in a Third Party movement. Remember what happened to “Read my lips, no new taxes.” The Dems would love to have that same line in 2012.
I think the Tea Party pats are much smarter than that.
The see now that they have much more right to the Republican party than the RINOS do and they are all about taking control and we are all about helping them do it.
They know a third party destroys us and the country and won't do it.
