Bush and Rove might just alienate the Lucky Duckies after all
In a stunning show of sensitivity to their good ol' corporate donors the Bush White House wants to slam the lower to middle income taxpayers again. Todays Post has an interesting article about the new "tax plan" being telegraphed by the Council of Economic Advisors.
"The increasing reliance on taxing higher-income households and targeted social preferences at lower incomes stands in the way of moving to a simpler, flatter tax system," R. Glenn Hubbard, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, warned at a tax forum at the American Enterprise Institute on Tuesday.
Otherwise to be known as the "Lucky Ducky" tax plan, I'm sure that it initially will be sold by Dubya as pro-family, pro-Jesus tax plan (poverty, chastity etc...) plan to the working poor in this country. In the run-up to the next election, the Bushies will blame any adverse economic fall-out from the plan on the evil Congressional Democrats and of course, Satan (or Osama bin Laden).
