Republican governors go soft on taxes - Jonathan Martin and James Hohmann - POLITICO.com


Republican governors go soft on taxes - Jonathan Martin and James Hohmann - POLITICO.com: "Some Republican governors are softening on the party’s hard-line toward tax increases for the wealthy, suggesting that GOP congressmen at least be open to rate hikes in exchange for a comprehensive fiscal agreement on taxes and entitlements.

“The people have spoken, I think we’re going to have to be [flexible] now,” said Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, when asked if his party would now have to be open to taxes on the highest earners. “Elections do have consequences. The president campaigned on that.”"
