“You definitely have Buchanan confused with someone else.”
I most certainly do not have him confused with anyone else. His number one proposal in his presidential campaign was to raise taxes. He also is very big on intrusive government. Basically he is a Dim, but he has long fooled some people who think they are conservative.
Buchanan’s platforms: wikipedia –
1992:
He ran on a platform of immigration reduction and social conservatism, including opposition to multiculturalism, abortion, and gay rights
1996:
Buchanan sought the Republican nomination from Dole’s right, voicing his opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
2000:
Buchanan proposed US withdrawal from the United Nations and expelling the UN from New York, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Education, Department of Energy, Department of Housing and Urban Development, taxes on inheritance and capital gains, and affirmative action programs.
