« Terminal | Main | The Blogger Protection Act of 2008 » April 16, 2008Sustain the BrandColorado state House candidate Joshua Sharf on why Republican candidates ought to sign no-tax pledges: This morning, I signed both the Americans for Tax Reform Tax Pledge, and the Colorado Union of Taxpayers Pledge. I'm not big on too many of these pledges in general. They tend to be somewhat absolutist documents that seem more designed to trap politicians than to actually promote a particular agenda. But the no-tax stand is so central to the Republican branding, and so critical in achieving the goal of limited government, that it makes sense both as politics and policy.Well said. And at a time when local, state and federal taxes take almost a third (30.8 percent) of the average American's income, it is good to ask the other side one simple question: "How much is enough?"

In 2006 I worked on the governor's race in Colorado. During one debate, our Republican candidate asked the Democratic opponent that very question. His response was an emphatic "We need the money and we need to spend it!" Posted by: Allen Fuller at April 17, 2008 5:54 AMPost a comment
