Umm ... I listened to that video twice and I suppose I could point out how she didn't say she was going to raise taxes, but that would be too complicated.

Translation: increase SS withholding which is money taken out of your paycheck by the federal government. If that's not a tax, I don't know what is. Nice try though, Patrick.
Jim Ryun will never increase your taxes.
this was a stupid, stupid thing for her to do.
OMG...she really did say we should raise taxes...i'm shocked...i thought it was just this blog making shit up
