Tax Hikes....Maybe????

In the vein of Jeff Foxworthy, you know Republicans will be willing to vote for tax hikes: 

• When Planned Parenthood is entirely privately funded.
• When any president stops getting the taxpayers to pay for half of his Air Force One travel costs because he throws a "town-hall meeting" stop onto his fundraising tour of another state.
• When Congress accepts a pay cut.
• When former members like Anthony Weiner lose access to the Congressional gym and pay for their own d*mn gym memberships.
• When we tell foreign governments that future deliveries of U.S. aid will be conditional upon their efforts to refute -- not shut down or ban, but refute -- anti-American propaganda in their country.
• When you cannot find a single bike path in America that is being built with the assistance of the U.S. taxpayer.
• When we stop paying farmers to not farm their land.
• When NPR and PBS are entirely funded by donors, merchandising, and their already-considerable corporate sponsors.
• When federal employees with significant unpaid tax bills have their continued employment contingent upon paying those tax bills.

I'm sure you can come up with many, many more. Also, I think we on the right would want some sort of ironclad, if-we-break-this-pledge-hunt-us-down-with-hounds guarantee in writing that all additional tax revenues would be used to pay down the debt. Over the years, we've enacted plenty of tax hikes. We've never made a serious effort to control or reduce spending.
