Fresh off a win at the Iowa straw poll, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann stood by her principles Sunday, saying in an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union” that she won’t compromise her values on “big issues.”
.....
... in her experience, the public doesn’t favor a compromise between spending cuts and raising revenue through tax increases as a method of battling the deficit.

“I haven’t gone one place in Iowa or South Carolina or New Hampshire where anyone said, ‘Please raise my taxes,’” she argued. “Never happened.”

Yup, 'cuz the people who surround her are the people whose taxes WOULDN'T be raised; the wealthy don't go to such plebian gatherings, they go to the club instead.

If these guys ever got to experience reality, they'd run for cover (as they should)!

So, you're admitting that the lower to middle class aren't taxed, or wouldn't see their taxes raised, if Bachmann were President ?

Well, first of all, virtually everybody pays taxes, ’cause if you go to work, you pay into Social Security and Medicare taxes. We have property taxes. Most states if you buy something, you pay a sales tax.

Actually, the tax cuts for the rich paid for on the backs of the poor is a GOP campaign plank.

Nice to see you finally admit it.
