Are all parties officially against tax increases?
All parties are not officially against tax increases. The Republican Party generally has an anti-tax stance, or more of a lower taxes stance. At the national level though, certain governors like Mike Huckeby who raise taxes, even though he's a Republican governor. The Democratic Party I think overall does not have an anti-tax or is against raising taxes. They are okay with raising taxes. They generally package it or they propose it has raising taxes on upper class incomes, and not middle class. And keeping middle class incomes either the same or lowering taxes on middle class incomes. So everybody is against raising taxes on the lower and middle class. The question is taxes on the upper middle class and the upper class, or higher income people, and corporations. Whether we raise taxes on them or not. And the Democratics are more in favour of raising taxes on them to pay for budget short falls and government services. And the Republicans are definitely less in favour to; against raising taxes on upper income earners, businesses and corporations.
