Robert Reitze's response to a commentary printed in the East Valley Tribune that discussed how Democrats and Independents can change Arizona for the better has a problem. Reitze's response draws a comparison that simply isn't there and wasn't even discussed. There was nothing in the commentary that spoke about the Congress. Nothing. The commentary focused only on the Arizona legislature. Keeping that significant difference in mind, it is true that no Maricopa County Democratic candidate for the Arizona Legislature supports raising taxes.
As for Charles Rangle saying he would repeal the tax cuts that expire in 2010, according to the Oct. 26, 2006 Washington Post, Rangle says "I think it would be ridiculous for us in 2007 to be talking about 2010 tax cuts," Rangel said in an interview. "I don't want to go retroactive in terms of any of the tax cuts. I think retroactive tax increases are bad tax policy." This statement alone shows Democrats are more thoughtful about budgets and spending than Republicans.
If Republicans think tax cuts are a boon to the economy, maybe they can explain why the national debt has doubled since their tax cuts to $9 trillion dollars. Why are home foreclosures at their highest levels since the tax cuts? Why have interest rates doubled since the tax cuts?
Now there's a record to run from.
