It's because of the elections, he's flip-floping now so he can try to steal some moderate votes from the democrats.

So don't worry, if he does get re-elected he won't follow through with any of the things he's saying now. They're just lies to get more votes.

Why are you so against taxes?

Who do you think paid your way when you were in the service?
Where do you think the equipment you used came from?
How do you think the Military has become the most powerful on the planet?
Have you even driven on and Interstate Highway?
Do your kids go to school?
Can they read?
Do you keep your money in a Bank or Credit Union?
Have you ever been to a hospital?
have you ever had a flu shot?
Do you use the internet? (Wait, I know that one.)
Do you think the FBI should monitor terrorism?
Would you like to slow the flow of illegal drugs into the US?
Do you think we need people to keep illegal immigrants from crossing borders?
Do you think landing on the Moon was a good idea?

I hate it when Welfare is abused but there are a million good reasons for Taxes. More if you count all the kids who get a better education through government funds, and if they grow up to create something that bennefits America you should probably count that too.
