TAXES
"We also saw last week the man that, if the Democrats were in control, would be chairman of the Ways and Means Committee saying you would get across-the-board tax increases..."
OUTRIGHT LIE BY Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman, October 6, 2006 Fox News Your World with Neil Cavuto
ACTUAL TRUTH Would-be chairman of the Ways and Means Committee Charley Rangal actually said the opposite ON THE SAME SHOW Sept. 26th:
CAVUTO: Would any of the taxes that the president cut -- just income taxes -- be raised or be looked at being raised under Democrats, even in -- on the upper income, the 35 percent rate, maybe bring it back to 39.5 percent?
REP. RANGEL: We don't bring anything back. We would not raise taxes. We would not roll back. The president has -- had allowed these things to expire in 2010. I think -- and I would not advocate or support a retroactive increase in taxes.
Cavuto did not challenge Mehlman on October 6th.
Lies, lies, lies...they can't win without 'em.
