The Post Reports on the Poor Republican Tax Heretics
When traditional Reagan-Republican views on such mundane things as taxation are characterized as “dogma,” “doctrine,” and “orthodoxy,” the Post’s stance is transparent.
In a front page, above the fold article in the June 6, 2011 edition of The Washington Post, the Post asserted that the Republican Party of today is radical and extreme, unlike the Republicans of the past. The Post also asserts that the Republicans are endangering progress in reducing the national debt by refusing to raise taxes. For instance, the Post asserts, “Even with drastic spending cuts, [Republican Sens. Coburn, Crapo, and Chambliss] concluded, Washington could not vanquish its soaring $14.3 trillion debt without additional income” and that “Such reasoning was common in the GOP circa 1963.”
