Romney selects Paul Ryan for VP

Dear fellow tax hikers, we are dismayed that Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has chosen conservative Paul Ryan to be his Vice President.  We believe Romney should have selected a big government, tax-and-spend Republican.  How is the Romney ticket supposed to compete with the Obama/Biden record of runaway spending, record deficits, and big tax increases when he just selected a conservative who wants to cut spending and get closer to a balanced budget? 

Prior to today, Ryan was best-known for authoring his fiscal blueprint Path to Prosperity which would, "fundamentally alter the social safety net, repeal President Obama's health care law, cut billions in spending and overhaul the federal tax code in order to reduce - but not eliminate - the federal deficit over the next 10 years."  The Wall Street Journal provides a more detailed analysis.

Ryan's plan would reduce spending, reduce the deficit, lower taxes, and eliminate Obamacare.  That is precisely the wrong approach.  We at Republicans for Higher Taxes want to increase spending, increase taxes, and keep Obamacare!  Our Messiah Barack Obama has done a fantastic job in these areas. 

While we appreciate Romney's desire to select some with ties to Southwest Ohio, if he wanted to pick someone from our area he should have selected Blue Ash City Councilman Rick Bryan.  Rick won our 2011 Tax Hiker of the Year award due to his dedication to raising taxes and growing government.  And just two days ago he voted to help fund Cincinnati's streetcar.  In addition, Tax Hikin' Rick Bryan knows everything about everything, except how to get elected to something higher than a Blue Ash Ward Councilman. 

We are disappointed in Paul Ryan's selection.  Mitt Romney lost whatever slim chance he had of earning our support.  To us, higher taxes, higher spending, and getting more people on welfare has to outrank party loyalty.  Had Romney selected someone as great as Tax Hikin' Rick Bryan, he might have stood a chance to beat The Messiah. 

ObamaCare upheld as a Tax Increase!

Dear fellow tax hikers, tonight we celebrate our biggest win since 2010 Tax Hiker of the Year Jon Husted was elected Ohio Secretary of State!  Our U.S. Supreme Court has fully upheld the Constitutionality of ObamaCare, reasoning that it is a tax increase and therefore within the rights of Congress to legislate.  

When we endorsed Barack Obama four years ago, we told you he would be a great tax increaser.  Today our claim was backed all the way up to The Supreme Court.  If you think taxes are high now, just wait until the ObamaCare Tax Increases kick in. 

It is true that President Obama himself said this was not a tax increase.  Just forget about that.  If we have to tell a few lies and have our Supreme Court Justices engage in faulty reasoning so we can get our ObamaCare Tax Increase, then that's what we have to do.  Honesty cannot get in the way of establishing the higher taxes and government control over our health decisions that we treasure. 

The evil Mitt Romney and Brad Wenstrup have already pledged to repeal ObamaCare.  They must be stopped.  This victory illustrates why we tax hikers must continue to stand behind Our Messiah Barack Obama.  Our national debt is $15 Trillion.  Our deficit is well over $1 Trillion/year.  Net wealth is way down.  Home prices are down.  College graduates can't find jobs.  Unemployment remains sky high.  But we're going to get our ObamaCare Tax Increase soon!  This is the Hope and Change we were promised.  Stand with O.
