On Tax Reform: Bush tax cut plan threatens our prosperity

Democrats contend that Bush’s tax cut plan already is too big and ineffectual as a stimulant. They say it would leave too little to overhaul Social Security and Medicare programs for retiring baby boomers.

House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt warned that Bush’s tax plan “threatens our prosperity and could return us to the big budget deficits of the 1980s. I, for one, have learned a valuable lesson from the 1981 Reagan tax cut. I do not intend to repeat that mistake.”
