Huckabee’s record as governor shows that he is a communist/marxist

A Marxist that favors a flat tax? Can you make a dumber comment?

Huckabee raised many taxes in Arkansas as governor, grew government and even had a public healthcare program of his own, and is for amnesty and helped illegals in Arkansas as governor. FACT check THAT. so Yes Huckabee is marxist. what he does and says are 2 different things

That was the 'conventional wisdom'.

That may not work this time around.

Huck is a known flake. He won’t hurt Cruz a bit.

Huck is a real A-Hole for running though.

All about the money.

How many prisoners will he release because he feels sorry for them and not the victim.

Marxists believe in graduated income taxes. A flat tax is the opposite of what Marxists believe.

Reagan agreed to raise taxes. By your broad definition of the term, he was a Marxist, too.

If Republican governor with Democratic legislature, balance budget and court mandates, you're probably going to be forced into raising taxes like Reagan did.

Stopped doubling down on stupidity.

To all on this thread : Huckabee is a phony con man. he’s no conservative as he is trying to put on an act of being. He’s a big government liberal. and yes if you love government then you are a marxist.Take time to read this as it will shock you:

SOURCE:

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/05/mike-huckabee-big-government-117608.html

Huckabee supported in-state tuition rates and scholarships for students brought to the country illegally—a stance he continues to defend, even while taking a tough line against illegal immigration in general.

Huckabee’s major achievement was a health program known as ARKids First, which he pushed through in 1997, his first full year in office. It extended coverage to children whose parents earned too much to qualify for Medicaid, but still couldn’t afford private insurance. To pay for his various initiatives, Huckabee raised taxes—gas taxes, sales taxes, a tax on beds in nursing homes.... the state’s total tax bill increased on his watch, as did state spending and the number of state employees.

This has led to a longstanding feud with the anti-tax Club for Growth, which denigrates Huckabee’s record as governor. The libertarian-leaning Cato Institute has also given him poor marks, once describing him as “the biggest big-government conservative.”

Big taxer? Check.
Big spender? Check.
Benefits for illegal aliens? Check.
