Democrats are always responsible for tax increases. No. See Mike Huckabee's huge tax increases.
The growth rate in federal spending is out of control. No, it's been much lower under Obama than under Reagan, Bush or Clinton.
Democrats run chronic budget deficits. No, they've more often balanced budgets than Republicans.
The corporate tax rate is too high. No. The effective corporate tax rate is actually not burdensome at all by comparison with others.
