Valin Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Washiongton Post: Felicia Sonmez December 21, 2012 Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kansas), the conservative lawmaker who has been perhaps the most outspoken in criticizing House GOP leadership, struck a defiant tone on taxes Friday morning in the wake of Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) failure to round up enough support for his fiscal cliff “Plan B.” Asked several times in a combative interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” whether he would vote for a compromise that included any tax increases, Huelskamp repeatedly said he would not.“Raising taxes doesn’t solve the crisis at all. That’s the misleading statement that all sides are making,” said Huelskamp, who was recently stripped of his posts on the Budget and Agriculture committees by the House leadership. “I am not going to vote to put people out of work, and that’s what these tax increases do.” Even after last year’s debt-ceiling deal and numerous GOP-backed stopgap funding measures, Huelskamp maintained that, “there’s not been a cut in this town for literally decades.” (Snip) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
