You don't get an economy growing by raising taxes.

Raising taxes does nothing to allow the economy to recover.

Raising taxes in an economic downturn is not a good idea.

Americans don't think we should be raising taxes on anybody, especially in the middle of a recession.

The key to revenue growth is tax reform that closes loopholes and that is pro-growth. Then with a growing economy, that's where your revenue growth comes in, not from higher taxes.

While the deficit and debt are serious problems, I oppose solving these problems by raising taxes.
