NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. (Reuters) - Jeb Bush will not sign any "no new taxes" pledges or any other pledges if he decides to seek the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, a spokeswoman said on Saturday.
The statement from Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell was in response to an appeal from anti-tax champion Grover Norquist for Bush to sign his Taxpayers Protection Pledge, in which candidates agree to oppose tax increases.
"If Governor Bush decides to move forward, he will not sign any pledges circulated by lobbying groups," Campbell said in a statement. "His record on tax cuts is clear. He didn't raise taxes."
Bush's opposition to such pledges is longstanding. He did not sign such pledges in any of his three previous campaigns for Florida governor, an aide said.
shade of H W Bush "read my lips, no new taxes"  and Norquist in 2012 concernin Romney,



guess we'll get to see how much weight  Grover has if Jeb is the nominee and refuses to sign his protect the rich pledge, because they have to raise tax on somebody just not those that can afford it where's the fun in that./s  to make such a demand on candidates when the tax is the primary means of filling the coffers, so that said it you don't raise them and the worlds cost of living does raise you leave those low and no tax states and the country in the red.  republicans refusal to deal with tax is killing the recovery and they know it, long as it in their heads make Pres. look like he's running a slow recovery then it's okay with them as usual they are hurting the wrong target they are hurting American tax paying citizens.
