We didn't think taxes ought to go up. They ought to go down. We didn't think the census ought to be weakened.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The census should not be political.
Americans don't think we should be raising taxes on anybody, especially in the middle of a recession.
We're going to have a tax cut. Today's American family is overtaxed at all levels.
Raising taxes in an economic downturn is not a good idea.
We had 90 percent taxes before in America. All right? Didn't work.
Taxes are way too complicated, and people spend way too much time worrying about ways to get them lower.
There's no reason to raise taxes. Taxes should be lower... The problem we have is that government spends too much, not that taxes are too low.
Every time in this century we've lowered the tax rates across the board, on employment, on saving, investment and risk-taking in this economy, revenues went up, not down.
Taxes should be simple and fair... I'm not for increasing income taxes - if we even have an income tax.
I'd love to thwart the Census form, but I want a constitutional basis for doing it - and here's the tricky thing. I think even constitutional purists would tell you that just because something isn't in the Constitution does not mean the government cannot do it.
