From the article:
What is surprising as we celebrate this Independence is a movement in this land to raise taxes even more. If that happens, or if Gephart gets his wish and becomes Speaker of the House after the November elections, he is calling for raising taxes even higher. He wants to raise capital gains taxes, income taxes, and possibly estate taxes. If that happens the U.S. will enter phase two of the tax revolt. The last tax revolt was at the ballot box in 1994 after Clinton and a Democratically controlled Congress raised taxes on income and social security in 1993. The result was a tax revolt, which gave control of Congress to the Republicans. When they no longer held on to their principles, they lost their majority in the Senate.

Comments on Republicans holding their principles (whatever those are)?

And your agenda is, what?

I've read many of your previous posts (since you joined FR a month ago) and see nothing linking you with a conservative agenda.

Could you clear that up for us? There seems to be nothing at your home page that explains this conundrum.
