NBC News: “Republicans are sending a pointed warning to congressional Democrats: If you raise taxes on corporations and top earners, we’ll just cut them back when we regain power.”
Said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC): “There’s no doubt in my mind that anybody running next year should be talking about reversing what I think are going to be tax increases at the worst possible time.”
Added Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY): “We don’t like the taxes.”
