Not true--the Democrats will implement that incredibly popular panacea for the economy: tax hikes. Don't laugh; at an April 15 town-hall meeting, Senator Specter inquired, "How many of you want to pay MORE taxes?" and most of the members of the audience threw up a hand--some two, and I saw one or two feet in there too. Although I didn't raise my hand, I never realized just how popular high taxes really are. Then again, this is a college town, so most of the questions read something like "What type of a bonehead are you for not vocally opposing an unjust war of aggression against a forward-looking, peace-loving man like Saddam Hussein?"
Remember the Far Side cartoons where some guy is talking to a dog and all the dog really hears is gibberish and words like his name and food. Well, I'm sure the people in your audience heard the question as , "How many of you want other people to pay MORE taxes?"
