118. An Important Clarification
no offense to you wtmusic, but it would be much significant if Krugman said it than if it was your opinion.

It is an important issue. What if that is the issue for a swing voter -- a middle class swing voter. If I vote for the Democrat who supports a repeal of ALL tax cuts (even the middle class) then I get a tax increase. If I vote for Bush, no tax increase (foolishly believing you won't have to pay the piper one day).

So if the Democrat who wants to repeal ALL tax cuts cannot get elected -- then guess what - we are stuck with 4 more years of failing policy.

However, if a Democrat supporting repeal of some of the tax cuts can get the support of the swing voter - then amen, democrats get in.
