Answer me this. Very soft on raising taxes on the rich.
All the excuses, bad for the economy, investing falls off, loss of incentive to work. But yet really eager to drop the tax bomb on the poor in the form of an increased gasoline tax. Why the contradiction on taxing?

1. The only answer that will work is that the rich must pay the most taxes.

2. It happens here in Florida a lot and it fools the majority on election day

They reduce taxes by a fraction but add "fees" that you pay separately over the course of the year and on election day people most people only listen to and vote for the one who says, "He/she lowered your taxes"
