Can you link to that story, Jerry. I can't find it anywhere.

I have a problem reading things out of context. It's too easy to cut and paste the parts which agree with whatever position the cut and paster is taking and too hard for anyone else to get a bigger picture.

For instance, I can cut and paste the following:

1) Create a new “Making Work Pay” tax credit of up to $1,000 for America’s working families

(2) Create a new universal mortgage interest credit that will benefit low and middle-incomehomeowners

(3) Honor America’s seniors by eliminating income taxes for those making less than $50,000 per year

(4) Simplify tax filings so millions of Americans can do their taxes in less than 5 minutes

(5) Eliminate special interest loopholes and tax breaks and crack down on international tax havens


and tell you it's Obama's 5 part plan to cut taxes and that seniors in Virginia and all over the United States are thrilled to death that the majority of seniors on SS and small pensions are going to be tax-exempt.

But - taken out of context, without a date and without the link, it means whatever I want it to mean, doesn't it?
