Good idea, wrong question.

Presidential Phoenix John McCain was asked if he would veto tax increases*. Not one to miss a softball he said, "Yes."

Problem is that it only reinforces the public misperception that taxes are the problem. The much, much better question is, "would you veto any bill that increased spending?" A "Yes!" to that is something to get excited about.

OK readers, for the 154th time, revenue is only part of the problem, it the spending stupid.

*Bonus points if you picked up the subtle bias of the questions.

From Chris Wallace, "As president, will you veto any tax increase passed by a Democratic Congress?"

From Bob Shaffer, "Let’s just say that you do become president and a Democratic congress raises taxes. What would you do? Would you veto it?”

Not just congress folks, the Democratic congress. Lousy liberal media and their pro-Democratic agenda.
