The political lust for ever-more tax revenue is a bipartisan affliction, as Indiana voters are finding out to their regret. Their reward for electing their first Republican Governor in 16 years looks like it will be a big tax increase.

This pocketbook raid comes courtesy of Mitch Daniels, the former White House budget director whose victory last November also brought in GOP control of the Indiana house. (The party already controlled the senate.) He’s now helping to define Republicanism in the Hoosier state by proposing a 29% tax increase, levied largely on anyone making $100,000 or more — including married couples filing jointly and small business owners.

John Kerry claims the only way Iraq can succeed after the elections is to embrace the international community. Kerry did not specify if this meant countries such as France, Germany and Spain.

Kerry believes countries who stole from Iraq and propped up Saddam Hussein through Oil-For-Food are now the only ones who can legitimize Iraq as a future democratic and sovereign nation. Not once did he mention the bravery of the Iraq citizens for standing up to terror and rushing to the voting polls to participate in history as well as the future of their country.

Kerry, like his Massuchusetts counterpart, are dunces with enormous capacity for arrogance and bias.

“We as Democrats may be in the minority in Congress, but we speak for the majority of Americans.”
