To repeal only the portions that greatly favor the wealthy.
Dean wishes to repeal the entire tax cut...

Now if you are nor paying a thousand dollars in taxes and some guy repeals the cuts that brought it down from 1500 to 1000 what does that do to your taxes...IT RAISES them. So repealing a tax cut, increases taxes. AS Dean did the opposite in Vermont, when He repealed a three tiered income tax, he cut taxes for the rich at a higher level than he did for the poors and middle class, giving the rich a better deal

And at the debates, Dean pointing out that it is a choice, you can choose to have tax cuts, or you can choose to have health insirance that no one can taks away from you.

It seems that Dean has shown his hand, He is going to repeal the tax cuts, and give nothing in return for them (well incrementally, meaning that they may see something for their tax increases SOMEDAY.

Sorry, Dean has ALREADT had to Deal with that question from Russert.

Dean tried to skirt the issue that repealing the tax cuts esentally increasses the tax rates , by stating that they would be used to provide a service for the increase. Now the tax cuts will disappear, but Dena has decided he is not going to provide the service.

Now are you guys going to try to start spinning it so that it looks like Dean NEVER intended to provide health insurance for the millions without it immediately, changing again, and again, what Dean implied countless times, in order to gain support?
