The Wall Street Journal: Obama to Cut Taxes, Really

    taxesYou know this has to have the liberals deeply concerned. As for conservatives, we’ll believe it when we see it. Remember, we’re still waiting for Bill Clinton’s “middle class tax cut” from 1992…

    From The Wall Street Journal:

    President-elect Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are crafting a plan to offer as much as $310 billion in tax cuts to individuals and businesses, a move aimed at attracting Republican support for an economic-stimulus package and prodding companies to create jobs.

    The size of the proposed tax cuts — which would account for about 40% of a stimulus package that could reach $775 billion over two years — is greater than many on both sides of the aisle in Congress had anticipated, and may make it easier to win over Republicans who have stressed that any initiative should rely relatively heavily on tax cuts rather than spending.
