Does anyone here believe no tax will increase during a Democratic administration succeeding PBO?

We know Bernie says tax increases are a necessity if we're to fix what's fucking wrong with this country. At least he admits it. I personally think they could even be weighted at the top of the scale so as not to hurt the middle class.

Is anyone here going to step up and say for sure that a Clinton administration wouldn't raise taxes? Would not? Not one? Or is it just the 800 lb gorilla in the closet Clinton supporters don't want to talk about?

Is there a Clinton supporter here who thinks taxes WILL go up during a Clinton administration? Some tax? Any tax? On any one or more groups? Don't tell your fellow Clinton supporters; they would flat out call you a hypocrite. Then they'd pm you and tell you "SHHHHH! No one is supposed to know!"

I'm not afraid to see my taxes go up a little. I'm not Hillary Clinton's "Middle Class" ($250,000 yr) but I do well enough to survive a small increase in taxes. If you would argue with that, remind yourself that tax increases are what the TEA party claims to be founded on. Think Bundy. Think Koch. Then pat yourself on the back for that last post saying for the hundredth time "Bernie's going to raise taxes!"
