Casey Cagle increased your taxes

Local hometown hero, Casey Cagle, promised never to raise your taxes.

He's been busted!

Georgia now taxes families in poverty, which is a new development under the GOP.

"The tax Georgia levies on families of four at the poverty line jumped 38 percent between 2005 and 2006 because the state failed to adjust its exemptions, standard deductions and low-income credit to keep up with inflation. Without legislative action, Georgia’s income tax threshold will sink further."

This is not new information. It's called bracket creep and GOP President Reagan promised to eliminate it.

So I don't want to hear the usual song and dance number from Casey Cagle or his professional handlers that "I've never voted for a tax increase."

Nope, Casey, you didn't have to lift a finger.

Like that old saying, "Evil exists because good men do nothing."

You did nothing so you must be a good man. Even better, a Paul Stanley Republican. So, don't plead ignorant of your duties. You let a 38 percent tax increase steal food off the table of families.

You let it happen despite the promise of Ronald Reagan to end bracket creep.
