Bush may delay push for major tax overhaul
Bush may delay push for major tax overhaul

By Caren Bohan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House may delay unveiling a broad
proposal to overhaul the tax code until 2007 or later, despite
earlier discussions of making it a major theme for next year, people
close to the White House said.

A panel named by President George W. Bush has recommended sweeping
changes to the tax code, including reducing deductions for home
mortgages and state and local taxes.
<snip>
The White House had initially considered having Treasury prepare a
plan by the end of the year that could form the basis for a proposal
in Bush's State of the Union address.

But several Republicans with close administration ties said it now
seems likely Bush may only speak generally about tax reform in the
address and not unveil specifics.

3. This guy gets more batshit crazy by the day.
Who has convinced him that any of this would be acceptable to the public.

First this week, we have the "Paris Hilton Relief Bill" coming up for a vote, and now he wants this?

7. "Bush may only speak generally about tax reform"
Here we go folks, more general bullshit from the bullshit artist himself*. Just like the grand plan he* gave us for SS, which was so vague and bizarre that it was dead on arrival.

So here we go again, part 2. different topic, but more of the same crap.

8. This is proof we're impacting the neo-nuts. We're pulling the plug on
almost every one of their plans, with the exception of banning gay marriage state by state. Then again, he never even attempted a national ban.

That man-date must have been with KKKarl.
