The Economy and Tax Proposals
The present Administration may not have much of a policy but at least we know what it is and who it favors. A constant push for a capital gains tax cut for the rich and a veto of the unemployment extension for the poor and nearly poor leave no doubt where the President stands. At least the Republicans have a policy and they make no bones about it. Meanwhile, the Democrats continue to flounder, not taking a stand on any issue or quietly going along rubber-stamping their cohorts in the opposition party.
No wonder confusion reigns among voters.
