Is there a difference between not raising taxes and having no new taxes?

He said Californians have enough taxes already.

"Is there a difference between not raising taxes and having no new taxes?" I pointed out that Bush41 said "No new taxes." I also pointed out that Bush41 signed a bill increasing an EXISTING tax. Everyone looked at me as if I'd suddenly become excessively flatulent. So I've stopped pointing that out. But Bush41 never approved any "new taxes."

Sure can be. I for one would like to see revenue-neutral reform that actually RAISES (gasp!) property taxes(*) -- BUT only if there is a corresponding DECREASE in business-killing income taxes and sales taxes. The decrease has to be carved in stone -- a constitutional amendment, along with a Colorado-style spending cap -- or else it will just end up being rescinded, leaving us with ONLY a hike! (* - Reason: property taxes are much more stable than are sales and income taxes year to year. Prop 13 should be amended from allowing 2% annual increases in assessed valuations to "the percentage rate of inflation.")
