Following is exactly what Rush said about taxes on Thursday's (6-6-02) show, just after the 3rd commercial during the first hour:
...whatever, whatever is happening with the economy, it's always an excuse to raise taxes. So I want to either warn you prepare you or even suggest that there might be at some point an accompanying tax increase proposed to pay for this new cabinet level agency. And it might not be a bad idea. It is going to have to be funded, and it is a crucial, a crucial budget - cabinet level department now.
He mentioned this issue again during the second hour, and I'll scan my tape to find it when I get a chance, and then post it here. I'll try to put it on my server in RealAudio format if I have time.
