More evidence that the powers that be are reading and taking to heart our HOTLINE messages. Two weeks ago we sounded the alarm on GOP chatter of raising the tax rate on “the rich.” Our warning: no GOP “read my lips” redux.

Yesterday, Trump picked up on the theme and pinged former House Speaker Newt Gingrich this hopeful message:

“George Bush said, ‘READ MY LIPS, NO NEW TAXES,’ then proceeded to give a rather small Tax increase, and was obliterated. While I love the idea of a small increase, the Democrats would probably use it against us, and we would be, like Bush, helpless to do anything about it! So if you can do without it, you’re probably better off trying to do so. We don’t need to be the ‘READ MY LIPS’ gang who lost an Election, for no reason!”

We hope this is the final word on this subject, but there are heretics among us.
