My 2nd proposol for a major Democratic platform for 2004 (along with the return of the Fairness Doctrine): propose that the rest of the Bush tax cuts be rescinded and replaced, dollar-for-dollar, with a tax cut geared exclusively to the bottom 50% (i.e., primarily payroll tax cuts). This would eliminate the lie...er...claim that Dems want to raise taxes and put the onus on the Bushies to explain why the upper 1% is more deserving of a tax cut then the bottom 50%. It is also a plan that is extremely simple to explain to voters (unlike Gore's 2000 tax plan which was just a hodge-podge of targeted tax cuts that few people understood the details of). It's time to get simple folks.
