South Carolina’s Tea Party backed Senator Jim DeMint threw down the gauntlet to Republican members of the secret super committee and the Republican leadership in a tough “no net tax increase” letter signed by 33 Republican senators. The letter, and the support DeMint has rallied behind it, makes it clear the $600 billion tax hike Republicans floated last week is a nonstarter for conservatives.
DeMint’s principled stand against the efforts of insider Republicans to institutionalize the vast increase in spending that began when Democrats took over Congress in 2006 and has accelerated under President Obama is a stark contrast to the letter 40 Republican House members signed earlier this week.
