Bush, more obsessed with tax cuts than any president in modern times, has
also declared a tax-free Gulf Opportunity Zone. A tax holiday might help the
few surviving restaurateurs in the French Quarter, but not 400,000 New
Orleans residents who have lost their jobs and have no income from which to
deduct tax.
Asked about this odd policy move at a luncheon for GOP supporters last week,
Bush responded:
"Somebody said the other day, well, that's a tax break. That region is going
to have zero income anyway. There's nothing there, in many parts of it. It
makes sense to prove economic incentives for jobs to exist."
Read his response 6 times and can't get it. Is it just me?
