#1 Several high-profile TV analysts are NOT convinced the Dems mean it > basically say THEY'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN THEY SEE IT.

#2 There is no such thing as business taxes. All taxes are paid by the consumer. Duh. Thanks, Donks.

#3 Want to dramatically fight on the side of the 'little guy'? Then how about repealing the federal gas tax at the pump? It's regressive. It hits the poor disproportionately. Time to break the government's dependency upon Big Oil.

#4 I actually agree, sort of. And I'm in the oil bidness. But don't stop with repealing oil tax breaks - repeal ALL the tax breaks and treat us all equally. Applies to individual deductions too - why should I be subsidizing your charitable contributions (assuming constant revenue, less tax from you means more from me), or McMansion residence?
