That’s your story and you’re sticking to it. At least, I hope you are.

Ed Garvey, writing at FightingBob.com, is really really glad somebody finally had the guts to say: Give the government more!

Finally an incumbent said the magic words “we must raise taxes.” I think it was Walter Mondale in 1984 who told us that taxes had to go up and his lackluster, albeit honest, campaign lost.

So for decades politicians have said “no new taxes” or “no increase in taxes.”

…Doyle said the words. Good for him. True, it is odd that the increase in tax revenue from cigarettes is more than the proposed increase from corporate income taxes, but, hey, the debate started last night.

Nobody’s more glad to be having that debate than me and my side, Ed. And nobody’s more glad to have you and the Governor sharing your side than we are, either.
