The problem with this argument...
Bell’s Mondale Moment: the Gift that keeps giving (Robert Black, Perry Alliance Blog)
It’s Thursday afternoon, August 31, 2006 and Chris Bell still wants to raise your taxes. It’s been three months since Governor Perry and legislators reformed the business tax, and Chris Bell still wants to raise the rate (see today’s Austin American Statesman.) It’s been four months since the comptroller certified a $8.2 billion budget surplus and…you guessed it…Chris Bell still wants to raise your taxes.
Hmm, wouldn't it be more accurate to say that Governor Perry and other legislators raised (not reformed) taxes via the new business tax, and Chris Bell thinks they should have raised taxes even more?
"We raised taxes, but our opponent will raise them more!" would be an appropriate motto from an unexceptional candidate.
