Yes, and soon according to what he said last night. Can't wait for Himes' proposal.
By comparison, over at Project Vote Smart, Shays indicates that he wants to maintain our current taxation across incomes, except for the really rich. Shays' stated views on which taxes should be lowered: slightly decrease corporate income taxes, slightly decrease the capital gains tax, (meaning even further), and greatly decrease the inheritance tax, which I take to mean doing away with it altogether.
As a side note, it's interesting that Shays wants to increase spending across the board, except for agricultural spending and a national missile defense.
Combining the two, does that make Chris Shays a borrow and spend Republican? It sure seems to!
PS-- Does anyone know how to capture a screen page? The recent past suggests that Chris will soon changes his answers on this "political courage test", what now that I've pointed them out.
8/2/08-- UPDATED: Sure enough, I was right. In Shays' new 2008 VoteSmart questionnaire, he totally flip-flops on universal health care, and on middle-class tax cuts. Imagine that!

I have a short version of the screen cap but you can always use Vote Smarts "Print Page" button if you want to print the entire contents of the page:
