Jerry - you're quoting information which appeared about a year ago in a blog on the US News web site, you're taking a single element of a comprehensive tax plan and pointing to that without looking at the entire picture, and you're ignoring any changes in the proposal which may have been made in the past year (or are you simply quoting some scarey statement you found elsewhere on the internet?)
I'm not going to get into one of these Google debates with you, where we trade instant punditry. But whenever somebody launches a discussion/debate by quoting a single point from a year-old restatement of a partial summary of a paraphrase - my alarms go off! Little voices tell me that this guy has picked up a factoid somewhere and is running with it, and that the factoid may have been misused before, and may even have been used as a scare tactic by somebody with a - golly - political agenda. Looking at small parts of a large package can be just as misleading as misstating a voting record, and every other political trick in the book. I don't think you're pulling a political trick - but I wonder if you've been seduced by one.
