General Clark is catching on to this political thing. He is morphing from a supposedly tough, hard hitting Army general into a political hack right before our eyes.
In an excerpt from a WSJ op-ed piece which deals with taxes and the budget, General Clark says, among other things,:
"We will recapture $1 trillion in revenue by adjusting the tax cuts which affect the wealthiest families, those earning more than $200,000 annually."
He throws in a trillion dollars in revenue into his budget plan by using a lovely euphemism for raising taxes, "adjusting the tax cuts", on 3% of the population that is already paying 47% of the taxes. He is simply bribing the lower/middle classes with someone else's money.
The tax cuts, if General Clark hasn't noticed, are helping getting the economy moving again.
Soon General Clark will be indistinguishable from the 8 other political hacks that are running for the Democratic nomination.
