Our 100th post

Fellow tax hikers, we at Republicans for Higher Taxes are delighted to celebrate our 100th post since we started this site last year. This has not just been a powerful blog, it has been the coming together of the Republicans for Higher Taxes Movement that has existed in our area for many years, but not yet come together as one. We have brought everyone together under one intellectual roof and organized to make sure that our Republican Party is the party of higher taxes.

We dedicate this post to you, our loyal readers. We take you back through memory lane of the greatest posts our site has ever written. And we ask for your vote. We want all of our loyal tax hikers to tell us, what was your favorite post from Republicans for Higher Taxes. Is it:

A) Our inaugural post. The post that started it all. Where we served warning to the anti-taxers that we would be fighting them.

B) Bill Seitz, 2007 Tax Hiker of the Year. One of our most profound postings ever. Not only did we honor Bill Seitz for all his efforts to raise taxes, but we created our legendary Tax Hiker of the Year Award, which is perhaps what we are most known for.

C) Condemning Chris Monzel for opposing tax increases. With this post we served notice that we will be here to condemn Chris Monzel's efforts to oppose tax increases for Cincinnati homeowners and taxpayers, and publicly reprimanded him for opposing the Sales Tax increase that nearly 60% of city voters voted against.

D) Bob Taft's press release. We joined our tax-hiking Commissioners and Sheriff in condemning COAST for writing a press release that claimed our great former Governor Bob Taft had endorsed Issue 27.

E) Pat DeWine - Enemy of the Treasury. Here we exposed Pat DeWine for being the tax-cutter he is, and made sure everyone knows how hard he works to keep our taxes down. We can't imagine how DeWine ever recovered from such criticism.

F) Prostitution in Sharonville. Our work to compliment Virgil Lovitt for his job creation in Sharonville. By turning Sharonville into Hamilton County's prostitution capital, ole' Virg created good, high paying jobs for his town, and we were so happy to be able to point out this accomplishment to the voters.

G) Virgil Lovitt - 2008 Tax Hiker of the Year. Our most-read and most influential post ever. When Lovitt was competing to get the Republican nomination for State Rep, we unleashed this post which gave him the momentum needed to secure the win. This post was also used in campaign ads in the fall election.

H) Favorite Virgil Lovitt tax hike. Generated numerous responses! A reader favorite.

I) Mustache Power. We discovered the power of the 'stache in local politics.

J) Governor Bob Taft's Endorsements. We feel so fortunate to have our great former Governor here on staff. He is a great ally, a world class tax hiker, and a wonderful writer.

Give us your vote! We hope you have enjoyed our trip down memory lane. So many great posts to choose from, we felt bad having to leave some other great ones out. We want to know what posts you have enjoyed the most.
