Remember the no tax increase pledge of the taxpayers Foundation and
how a few politicans wanted out of the pledge when they decided they
wanted to increase taxes, they stamped their feet and huffed and
puffed, they ran to the press saying it was not fair when Grover
Norquest and the foundation told the politicans no. of course the
pleadge had no legal standing but the politicans knew that foundation
members knew and many of the public knows one of the reasons the
politicans signed the pledge because it would help them get elected
and now that it does not suit them they want to go back on their word
and have the tax foundation say ' okay we understand you have to
raise taxes so go ahead and break your word, we will just continue to
endorse you
anyway.
The no vote on a tax increase pledge is the standard for
endorsement by the foundation if a politican can not understand that,
