Did Dean dodge the tax plan question?
Edited on Mon Jan-12-04 12:29 AM by windansea
When Maria (the very attractive mod from telemundo) asked Dean
WHEN he would present a detailed tax plan as other candidates have it seemed to me he dodged it by saying "first we have to balance the budget" or something like that.

I don't have a debate transcript but it seemed like he never really answered the question.

Why is Dean afraid to present a detailed tax plan?

1. I don't think it's about being afraid. It's not ready yet apparently.
I wouldn't blame him if it was because it complicates the antiBushtax message.

3. from what I've heard
Dean plans to release his tax plan in Feb after super tuesday

How can a guy thats been running for almost 2 years not have some sort of a plan....He started out saying he would repeal all bush tax cuts but seems to be backpedalling on this

What concerns me is that he is asking voters in LOTS of primaries to vote for him without knowing what he proposes.

TAXES concern everyone...

2. Because he only realized he supported middle class tax cuts this week
It take awhile when you're making it up as you go along and have no real convictions to base your campaign on.

4. exactly my impression
I want a leader who puts his vision on record...how can we analyze his position if he won't state it clearly?

9. Is that your beach?
Maybe I'll have to get a picture of my beach and figure out how to put it in. Then people will get that we live on two different beaches!
