OT economy, iraq, tax cuts and presidential elections Re: disappointing consumer confidence numbers released today. Perhaps a false reading based on bad news bears and iraq. One thing happened to me personally yesterday is that my daughter who is a Dean democrat(What can i do?) called me all excited that she had received her $400 tax rebate check for her child. The receipt of those checks and a better iraq situation could put the final kabosh on the never ending lack of real growth syndrome. Mike PS I told my daughter she should thank GW and that she is a beneficiary of the tax break for the rich all the leftys complain about. She said blah blah blah. When i told her that her next child whose due date is november would get her another $400 when she files her taxes, she stopped with the blah blah blah. As the economy got stronger in the year preceding the Reagan reelection, Mondales chances diminished rapidly.

After the wonderful success with their tax policies in California, the Democrats are looking at taking it nationwide..... Democrats Not Shying Away From Tax Talk Candidates Discuss Raises, Not Cuts by Jonathan Weisman washingtonpost.com Democratic presidential candidates are following the politically risky strategy of embracing tax increases as key parts of their economic agendas, hoping to make mounting federal deficits and President Bush's economic stewardship major issues in the 2004 campaign. When Bush signed his third tax cut into law last month, the legislation was supposed to put Democratic candidates in a political bind. They could no longer say they favored delaying or canceling future tax cuts, because the legislation put those planned cuts into law immediately. But the candidates have shown little reluctance to reverse tax cuts already in force. Although they couch it as "rolling back" Bush's tax policies, virtually all the major Democratic candidates say they would raise taxes on some or all of those who pay income tax. The proposals range from repealing all the tax cuts enacted in the past three years to raising taxes only on the wealthiest Americans. "Most Americans would gladly pay the same taxes they paid under President Bill Clinton if they could just get the Clinton economy back," said former Vermont governor Howard Dean, one of the leaders in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
