Promises, promises
Rudy Giuliani has a new television ad up in New Hampshire, telling voters there that he believes "reducing taxes produces more revenues." Instead of going after rival Mitt Romney's record on taxes, a point his campaign hammered yesterday before the Florida debate, he says that Democrats Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards will raise taxes "even more than they promise." Critical message in tax-averse NH. Question is ... Will Granite State voters buy it?
MAYOR GIULIANI: “When I became Mayor of New York City things were out of control. I lowered taxes. I reduced the growth of government. Made government more accountable. And New York City boomed. I would do these things for America because I know they work. I know that reducing taxes produces more revenues. Democrats don’t know that. They don’t believe it. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, here’s a promise I assure you they’ll keep. They are making the promise to raise taxes. The only thing I can tell you in addition to that is they’ll raise taxes even more than they promise. I’m Rudy Giuliani and I approve this message.”
