Huntsman: GOP Losing ‘High Ground’ On Taxes

Jon Huntsman weighed in on the payroll tax fight in Congress on Wednesday, touting the latest House GOP line to FOX News that the tax cut should be extended a full year. But he suggested that Republicans were getting outplayed by Democrats on taxes in general, urging them to push for a full comprehensive tax reform agreement as part of a deal.

“I think we are losing the high ground on tax cuts and I think thats a bad place for the Republican party to be,” he said. “I think they ought to vote for it, I think we ought to get something in return, and that thing we ought to get is comprehensive tax reform.”
