Pledge on No New Taxes


Joan Vennoichi has a story in the Boston Globe relative to newly-minted Gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker making the George H.W. Bush pledge on "read my lips: no new taxes." I got to go with Joan on this one: this isn't the smartest pledge to make. Even for the Governor's who ostensibly didn't raise taxes (see Mitt Romney) they ended up closing "tax loopholes" and raising fees through the roof. I don't think that really ends up saving the average taxpayer a lot of money.
