Noteworthy:
"Robert S. McIntyre, director of Citizens for Tax Justice, a labor-backed group whose calculations are widely respected by tax experts, said that if the cost of extending tax cuts for people earning less than $200,000 was added to the calculation, the plan would create a $35 billion revenue shortfall instead of the extra $50 billion predicted by the Edwards campaign.
'John Edwards is trying to do something nice for low-income people,' Mr. McIntyre said. 'The question is whether he has a way to pay for it. He is repealing tax cuts on the rich that really do not exist and the only part of substance is that he is expanding the Bush tax cuts to everyone else, but doesn’t count it. I don’t want to go overboard in the criticism, but this is very deceptive.'"
Edwards is so far over the edge that I simply skip articles about him. I sincerely hope this is the last time we hear from him and that he just goes back to making huge amounts of money on bogus torte cases. BB
