Beware the old ploy.

As typically understood, tax reform involves trading lower tax rates for a broader tax base -- that is, lower rates on all income while reducing the scope and number of tax exemptions and credits.

But that is exactly what raising corporate taxes does. Clark obviously does not know where the money corporations pay in taxes comes from. Or he thinks that we are dumb enough to not know. Which for demonrat voters is likely.

In effect he is raising the taxes on every consumer in the country by forcing the corporations to charge more for the goods and services consumers buy. And that is about as regressive as it gets.

...we should also mention that Mr. Clark's tax "cut" isn't universal even for taxpayers who make less than $100,000. He'd exclude millions of single folks and married couples without children.

Hmmm... this might be a rather odd way of looking at Clark's proposal, but I can't think of a better way to encourage young people to settle down and stop having kids out of wedlock.

"The kindest thing we can say about it is that we sure hope the retired general knows more about war than he does about taxes."

He doesn't, he didn't, and it won't matter, as long as he doesn't become commander in chief.
