Outrage of the day I. No
doubt we'll hear from conservatives in the next day or two as to how
the
New York Times' David
Firestone got it wrong this
morning. No doubt it will have something to do with how little low-income working families pay in taxes in the first place.
But can we nevertheless pause for a
moment of outrage over this hidden gem in George W. Bush's wildly
irresponsible tax cut? Because the fact remains that virtually the
only Americans who won't be getting a $400 rebate are poor people who
work.
