Tax Increase Proposals Within Four Months

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
You terrorists out there, you better watch out. I'll tell you what. It's getting serious out there. If I were Osama bin Laden and Zarqawi I would be quaking in my boots because Dingy Harry says the Democrats are going to get Osama. Yes, finally somebody is going to try to capture Osama so we can declare the war on terror over. I'll tell you what, my friends, this is bravery like I haven't seen. This is courage like I haven't seen from the Democratic Party in years. I feel much safer today. I would not want to be a terrorist today. Can you imagine these guys in their huts and their caves and news dispatches reach them that Dingy Harry and Nancy Pelosi have a plan, and it's to capture Osama? (Laughing.)
It's the Democratic version (PDF) of the Contract with America. They say that they're going to inspect every shipping container entering US ports. That makes me feel safer. We got port news, by the way, today. So hang in there and be tough. They don't say how they're going to do any of these things but they do say what they're going to do. Here's what you have to remember, folks, about the Democratic Party and the left, especially if you're still waiting breathlessly for a Democrat platform. Don't wait, and just know this. Whatever they say, and whenever they say it, four months, the next time they make a plan, make a pledge, make a promise, start counting, four months. I have run the numbers. I have done calculations over the history of this long, storied career. Four months is the time it takes any liberal politician to turn a promise he or she makes into a tax increase. So if they're going to go get Osama, it's going to cost us. If they are going to inspect all the ports, it's going to cost us. Every plan they come up with is nothing more than a disguised tax increase, and it will take four months from the time they make the promise until the tax increase is proposed.
And if you doubt me, if you doubt me, what's the latest documentation I have on the number? Governor Corzine's contract with New Jersey -- he promised, he ran on tax cuts, did he not? We have documented on this program, ladies and gentlemen, four months later, not only are there no tax cuts, there are tax increases across the board, and there are budget cuts on schools in New Jersey. Democrats never do that! So whatever a liberal promises, whenever, whatever, whenever, start counting. Take your money to some offshore accounts fast because in four months -- (laughing) -- it's going to be a tax increase.
