To Democrats, "Cutting" Taxes Means Not Raising Them
Justin Katz
Surprisingly, here's a point I haven't heard made:
One thing: the 95% number is fundamentally dishonest because I'm pretty sure it measures against the CBO baseline which assumes all of the '01 and '03 tax cuts expire in 2010. Politically, that's nonsense. But it allows Obama to count extending the politically popular Bush tax laws as an "Obama tax cut."
