The Battle over Taxes

Bush's forthcoming tax plan should be referred to as "a shifting of the tax burden to the middle class." Do not refer to the plan as "tax reform" or "tax relief." Instead of projecting a positive frame of reformation or relief when discussing the tax plan, progresssives should frame it negatively as a "burden." Progressives should also emphasize that closing the tax loopholes for corporations should be the main goal of Bush' tax plan, especially those companies that outsource jobs overseas.
