The DNC picks out a 2003 McCain quote that I was looking for during the last debate. McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts for the same reason I did, because they were a payoff to the superwealthy and undermined the deficit. He’s on record saying that, maybe he assumes another Republican won’t call him out on it. It’s one of the reasons I’ve suspected that the youtube drops have been coming from the McCain campaign. Why hasn’t McCain been getting hit?

2003: Worsen the Deficit Before It Ever Helps the Economy.” Senator McCain rejected the Bush tax cuts in 2001 ‘All the predicates for the 2001 tax cuts and all the predictions for its results were absolutely, completely wrong,’ he said. And it will worsen the deficit before it ever helps the economy, he added.

Today: No. None. None. Taxcuts, starting with Kennedy, as we all know, increase revenues. So what’s the argument for increasing taxes?If you get the opposite effect out of taxcuts?”

The supply side myth about the Kennedy tax cuts is a myth.

Something to say?
