ANY REASON WILL DO...

as long was we cut taxes for the very wealthiest. Jonathan Chait in The Big Con (pp. 121-24) reminds us of the many rationales put forward by the criminal Bush regime for cutting taxes.

The first was to eliminate the overpayments, otherwise known as budget surplus. The second was to stimulate the economy. The third and most preposterous was to make the tax code fairer to the poor!
