How Huckabee, Romney and Giuliani rate on taxes
Journalist Deroy Murdock observes that:
- Thanks to Huckabee’s hikes on sales, gasoline, cigarette and other levies, Arkansas’ average tax burden expanded 47 percent on his watch.
- Under Romney, the Tax Foundation’s ranking of Massachusetts’ business friendliness slid from 26th to 37th in America. Meanwhile, Massachusetts’ tax burden swelled 10.8 percent.
Murdock, of course, is trying to make the case for Giuliani.
Rumor has it that the thought of raising taxes once lingered in Rudy’s mind overnight. When Rudy finally noticed what his brain was doing, he got so mad that he thimply thlapped himthelf thilly. Which explains why he supports other notions like taking away our guns.
