Are tax cuts good or bad? Maybe I was hoping for too much from the article but I did not come away with much new information about McCain's tax policy. Sure the author explains the difficulty with the 'new' math proposed by McCain and the fudging about whether he is really against earmarks. But as long as McCain is for tax cuts he will get traction with his argument. The bigger the tax cut, the more we will approve of it! The main point of the article seems to have been that what McCain is proposing is impossible. Is it? I don't think that was sufficiently explained and I would have liked some contast with the Democratic position.
