LAT speaks on taxes

The LAT editorializes on federal taxes today, and says that for President Bush to argue on the same subject is "laughable." It's an indication of the LAT's arrogance and poor judgment. According to the LAT, it's fair for editorial writers to express themselves but wrong for a president of the United States to do so.

More specifically, the LAT and Bush were arguing about whether to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. Bush, of course says yes. The LAT says no; that instead measures that are "truly temporary" are needed, which is stupid. Taxpayers cannot tolerate constantly changing tax policy, which rules out policies that are "truly temporary."
