Read my lips: No New Revenues. Republicans sign this, they will be removed from office by their constituents in the primaries: period!

Good point. I can't be the only person who objects to the word "revenue". As I understand it, if taxes were lower, business would get going, and the actual "revenue" would increase. When NYC raised the taxes, enough business left the city that although the taxes were higher, the actual revenue went down. If the corporate rate were lower, more business would stay in the US. Even the uber liberal Bono took his operations out of Ireland and went to the Netherlands to avoid paying higher taxes.
