Economists for Dean: Why Dean is Right on Taxes

Economists for Dean: Why Dean is Right on Taxes. E4D just put up an analysis of the press coverage Dean and Gephardt's roll-back of the Bush tax bribes has been getting, and the brutal facts that their rivals are glossing over in their plans to keep the "middle class' portion of the bribes. The whole article make great fodder for talking points to anyone infected by the "tax cut" meme. This most important point after the facts are straightened out for people is this:

"If a candidate like Dean is willing to risk popular backlash by running against middle-class tax cuts, then he probably has far more resolve than his rivals to fight for fiscal responsibility. Maybe that's not the smartest thing to do politically, but it's the right thing to do substantively. Somebody ought to mention that once in a while."

Right on brothers and sisters economical! Dean has got the guts to lead, rather than just try to walk at the head of the march and act like he knows where he's going.
