No new taxes, Herman.
Baloney. Find a way to tax the 49% who pay no income taxes now. Broaden the tax base so that everyone feels the pain, and they'll think twice before asking for more government goodies. Once the scale tips so that 50+% pay no taxes, they will vote themselves endless goodies at the expense of the few remaining tax-paying folks forever.
Nonew taxes is a mindless mantra. Broaden the tax base - I am glad to say it.
