Reply #27: How Dean will be helping Bush by going back to '00 tax rates:

[AP]

Perhaps Bush passed a tax code that he knew was overreaching. He will have given the rich 4 years of huge breaks to further consolidiate their wealth. They're getting 10% richer every year, while everyone suffers. To go back to 00 rates, you're putting the rich in even a better position than they were in in '00. It's like, if I were Bush and wanted to get that same outcome, I'd get myself a buddy like Dean to do the same thing -- take more than you'd think you'd ever get, spend 4 years consolidating wealth and power, and that get somebody else to take you back to where things started and pretend like you've turned the clock backwards, when, in fact, going back to the beginning is even better for the rich than it was back then.
