Raise taxes in the highest income bracket to the level they were when Norquist started his pledge in 1986.

Created by C.L. on December 05, 2012

Norquist's pledge is all about never raising taxes on anyone, but when this pledge was started taxes were much higher for the top bracket. So according to him the taxes can be lowered and lowered but never raised when needed. Raising the taxes back to this level will help balance the budget and with smart spending cuts also we could start reducing the deficit.
