I say, "Read my lips.  No new taxes."  We have no idea how many hidden and unexpected taxes are headed our way already through Obamacare.  We know that the UN thinks it's going to subvert our sovereignty and tax us globally (which it already does, of course, since the U.S. pretty much funds the organization while it vilifies us at every turn).  So no, we don't need Republicans agreeing to tax the REALLY bad... I mean rich... guys more.
