Dean | Dean Backtracking on Taxes

There are some rumors of a mutiny among Dean's economic advisors as to the former governor's declared intent to repeal all of the Bush tax-cuts. A Boston Globe story yesterday "quoted a Dean campaign official as saying that there was 'unanimous' agreement among Dean's economic team that Dean should support a middle-class tax cut to offset the pain of his call for repealing the Bush tax cuts." Under the guise of "tax reform" some think Dean is going to cut taxes for the middle class, which would contradict his own preaching since day one. The Dean people deny this but say that the "reform" plan is still under construction and will not be announced until after primary voting begins. Could Dean be setting himself up for a run to the center in the fall (or even earlier)?

Okay, AnyoneButBush2004. For the record now, before Dean actually decides whether to flip his campaign platform.

Are Bush’s tax cuts unaffordable?

You’ve stated it many times already. Will you now dance a new jig to Dean’s ever-changing tune? Will you try to outguess Dean and say they are only partially unaffordable, and that a partial tax break is necessary? What to do?…

Backtracking?

This guy is sitting on a bicycle backwards, and peddling as fast as his short little legs will carry him.
