On the 2008 presidential race--from Michael Novak on NRO: "Let the record show that in the Iowa debate of December 13, 2007, the Democrats crossed the Rubicon into defeat in November, 2008. For on this day candidate Hillary Clinton announced that as President she would repeal all the tax cuts made since her husband was president, and return taxpayers to the tax rates they were paying during the 1990s. And Candidates Obama and Edwards competed to see who could be even more emphatic about raising taxes, when he became President.Perhaps blinded by the sunset brilliance of their own left wing, the Democrats chose on that day to abandon all taxpayers who are grateful for the child deduction and the other cuts in tax rates (at every level) that they enjoyed after the Clintons left office in January, 2000."
Naturally we conservatives support tax cuts. We believe your private property (which includes your earnings) should be protected. But I don't think our bias is showing when we suspect that a lot of Americans agree with us on taxes. I've seen no evidence that Americans want taxes significantly raised, even on the rich.
