I\u2019m almost starting to like Michele Bachmann and feel sad that her campaign will still come to an end.  No other presidential contender has ever provided us with such an endless stream of comic relief.  Each new gaffe leaves the last one in the dust.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"14Bachmann\"In an appearance Thursday morning on Fox News, Michele Bachmann might have put forward the boldest tax proposal of all Republican candidates: Raising taxes to where they were when Ronald Reagan was president<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bachmann criticized Herman Cain\u2019s \u201c9-9-9\u201d tax plan, and its inclusion of a national sales tax.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor my tax plan, I take a page out of one of my great economists that I admire, Ronald Reagan,\u201d Bachmann boasted. \u201cAnd under my tax plan I want to adopt the Reagan tax plan. It brought the economic miracle of the 1980s. Why not go with what works? I want to reinstitute the Reagan tax model from the 1980s<\/strong>.\u201d\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
