1. 'But he did identify what he called “tactical lessons.” He let himself look too much like “the same old tax-and-spend liberal Democrat.” 'http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/magazine/17obama-t.html
2. "Dan Rostenkowski, standing next to the candidate in front of the cameras and the cheering crowd at the convention after the fateful speech, whispered to Mondale, "You've got a lot of balls, pal." According to Rostenkowski, Mondale whispered back, "Look at 'em, we're going to tax their ass off."

3.‘As background to its estimates, the CBO notes that spending on Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will rise rapidly in the future, pushing up "primary" federal spending (excluding interest payments on the debt) from 18.2 percent of GDP today to 28.3 percent in 2050 and 35.3 percent in 2082. With interest payments included, spending will hit 41.8 percent of GDP in 2050 and 75.4 percent by 2082…."[t]he tax rate for the lowest bracket would have to be increased from 10 percent to 25 percent; the tax rate on incomes in the current 25 percent bracket would have to be increased to 63 percent; and the tax rate of the highest bracket would have to be raised from 35 percent to 88 percent. The top corporate income tax rate would also increase from 35 percent to 88 percent."

The Republican counter to the so-called tax and spend liberal was to stop taxing and keep spending.
dear, the Republican counter was 30 Balanced Budget Amendments to make deficits illegal. Democrats killed everyone of them because passing one would in effect make Democrats illegal.
Believe any myth you want.
to a complete illiterate liberal its a myth that Republicans sign the Pledge and support Balanced Budget Amendments.
See why we have to be positive that liberalism is based in pure ignorance?
