Code for Tax HIke: "Tax Reform"

Whenever the Democrats talk about "tax reform," they're talking about tax increase. "Forget about the World Series for just a moment -- the enormous tax reform plan announced by Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-NY) this week has to be the biggest bean-ball ever thrown. Not only does it travel far and wide from the tax reform Americans had hoped for, more taxpayers will wind up taking their lumps than initially advertised." Which is ALWAYS the case. They tell us how cheaply they can do something, and then years later, after "the program" has become almost "untouchable," they tell us what the REAL cost is going to be -- which is millions, maybe BILLIONS more than they told us. Somebody needs to tell Charlie Rangel that tax increases will eventually get him thrown out of the Congress (if the American people ever wake up). (Andrew Moylan, 10/29/07)
