Ezra Klein: The Bush Tax Plan vs. The Obama Tax Plan

[flpoljunkie]

Comparing Democratic and Republican tax plans

The Republicans' plan to extend the Bush administration tax cuts for the wealthy would cost $36.6 billion more than the Democrats' plan, which extends cuts only for families making less than $250,000 a year and individuals making less than $200,000.

1. Ouch. I hope a graphic like that ends up on USA Today or CNN, where more

people will see it. That's gonna sting.

2. What we get if R's win: more tax cuts for the rich, more deregulation

You know it's true. It's who they are. It's what they do.

4. I posted this earlier with

comments by Steve Benen

Good stuff.

5. Thanks. We do have a choice in November--with R's we get more tax cuts for rich, more deregulation

Will the Dems use this against the Republicans or cave to those in their own party-- Bayh, Nelson and Conrad? I wish I were more hopeful.
