If you can't use this to your advantage, you are the worst flirter in the world.

You should really start a vegetable garden. It's rewarding and tasty.

The pledge does not prohibit tax increases on anyone...it is okay under the pledge to increase taxes on the wealthy and reduce taxes on the middle class

Didn't you pledge to " oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or businesses"? Isn't that different?

It simply says that tax revenue to the government does not need to go up under static analysis

I'm sorry to be so direct, but doesn't it, in fact, not say this in particular at any point?

Here's your pledge, Congressman (found at http://www.atr.org/userfiles/Congressional_pledge(1).pdf )

I, Justin Amash, pledge to the taxpayers of the Third district of the state of Michigan, and to the American people that I will:

ONE, oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or businesses; and

TWO, oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates.

Do you support such legislation?

To me, that seems like a harsh requirement, seeing as though congresspeople must maintain two homes and travel frequently by nature of their position.
