Just Asking...

Has Rep. Charles Rangel already lost control of his tax reform plan?

Will the presidential Democrats let either house of Congress pass a plan that Republicans label the "Mother of All Tax Hikes"?

Why did Rangel use that Saddam-esque phrase to describe his tax reform plan? Didn't he foresee how easily it would be appropriated?

Who is defending the plan? I received a dozen e-mails from various Republicans blasting the plan yesterday..,. and heard not a peep from Democrats.

Comments

The Republicans send a dozen e-mails when Hillary Clinton laugs.

And the press clearly has agency here. The GOP can say it's the "mother of all tax hikes" but that doesn't make it true. There's nothing wrong with saying so.

Learn to spell laugh.
It is the largest tax hike in history.

So, do I want Hillary Clinton to sign this into law or would I go for Romney's proposal to eliminate taxes on investment income (dividends, interest, capital gains) on incomes under $200,000?

I dont have any confidence the Democrats will end the war in Iraq, sad to say.
