Has Bush ever said he absolutely wouldn't raise taxes?
Has he ever made the kind of pledge Kerry made in the second debate?

I'm not sure we can trust this Bush fellow; he might raise our taxes. :scared:

1. Not taxes, FEES.
Every damn thing that has to ordered from or processed by the government will go up in price. That's what they do. Make government extremely expensive if you need to use it.

2. That or they'll shift the burden onto the states...
Bush won't raise your taxes directly, but he'll cut state funding down to the bone so they'll have to jack taxes through the roof. That way it's another thing you can't blame Bush for (directly)

5. They've already done that. Our sales tax has gone up at least three times
in the last three years.

4. He is interested in a sales tax increase
so his corporate buddies don't have to pay as much in income tax.
