Lessons in Campaigning
The Moose is Loose!
“Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won’t tell you. I just did.”
Walter Mondale, 1984
“I think the best way to approach this is to adjust the cap on the payroll tax so that people like myself are paying a little bit more and people who are in need are protected”
Barack Obama, 2007
Well, perhaps it’s better said than Mondale - not clearer, but more technically senatorial. Whether there is enough nuance there to avoid a 49 state electoral disaster if Obama becomes the Democrats’ nominee is an uncertainty left for a future date.

Yes, because studies show that lowering benefits or increasing the retirement age is so much more popular that lifting the cap on those who make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Democrats promising to raise taxes-a very good development.
The Clintons,lying about the massive tax increase they have planned, present a far more dangerous adversary.
