Senator Jim DeMint, the leader of the principled small government constitutional conservatives on Capitol Hill, has issued a statement analyzing the proposal by House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner for $800 billion in increased tax revenues, concluding that Boehner’s proposal would "destroy jobs and allow Washington politicians" to swell, not reduce, the deficit.
DeMint’s observation that, “This isn't rocket science. Everyone knows that when you take money out of the economy (with tax hikes), it destroys jobs, and everyone knows that when you give politicians more money, they spend it," underscores the fundamental problem with the Republican Party’s Capitol Hill leaders – they don’t really believe in small government constitutional principles and they just can’t bring themselves to stand and fight for conservative principles even when the truth of those principles is obvious to all.
