"White House Floats Idea of Dropping Income Tax Overhaul"

I think eliminating the Income Tax would qualify as dropping the overhaul.

True, but I think leaving the income tax as it is would qualify as "dropping the overhaul" also.

The headline "White House Floats Idea of Dropping Income Tax Overhaul" can give the impression that Bush wants to leave the income tax as it is, which is EXACTLY opposite of what the article indicated.

If I decided to buy a new car instead of improving my old car, and I told you only, "I have decided not to improve my old car", would you derive from that statement that I was buying a new car? Probably not. You'd probably just think, and rightfully so, that I had decided to just use the old car as it is.

I think a better and more representative headline would have been "Bush Floats Idea of Scrapping Income Tax Altogether."
