Punishment or Policy?
Reading in this morning's edition of the Denver Post an article via the LA Times, "Pro-Kerry states hit by GOP tax plan." The gist of the article is that Bush is working on a "possible overhaul" of the tax code. One proposal being floated is to eliminate the federal deduction for state and local income taxes.
The whole basis of the "pro-Kerry states hit " argument is that California and NY have state income taxes, while Texas and Florida do not. Rep. Matsui , D-CA, is quoted, " There's no question this effort would punish blue states."
Public policy debate is now viewed as a tool for "punishment" for state's voting records. I wonder what Rep. Matsui's view of criminal sentencing is if a public policy debate is reduced to "punishment."
Dims, keep up the attacks and don't engage in sincere political debate, just pander to your moonbat fringe. It'll make you look so much more appealing to that whole set of swing voters and all those red states.
