Democrats WILL Raise Your Taxes

Democrats want you to believe that they "love" tax cuts:

Rep. Pelosi (D-CA): "Democrats have supported middle-income tax cuts. We love tax cuts, because when they are geared to the middle class, inject demand into the economy, create jobs, and also increase savings in our country. We've always been for them, whether it's the R&D tax credit, whether it's the child tax credit in a refundable way. I have told you in the speech what our priorities were."
