09/27/2003 Archived Entry: "Self-Promo Dean on Taxes"

SELF-PROMO ALERT: I have a piece on Howard Dean's misguided belief that raising taxes - under the guise of deficit reduction - is fiscally responsible running today in Capitalism Magazine.

Regular readers are probably familiar with my thoughts on this subject: Governments that run budget deficits are spending too much, not taxing too little. Higher marginal tax rates harm rather than improve prospects for job creation and economic growth. Out of ten Democrats running for president, it would be nice to find one who understood this basic concept.
