...doesn't Bush take the plunge on taxes? A matter of honor, say those familiar with the President's thinking--who also acknowledge that if he did rescind some of the tax cuts, it would raise Bush's poll ratings, gut the opposition and perhaps even guarantee his re-election. But Bush won't do it, I am told, because it would undermine all the Republicans in Congress who voted for the tax cuts and because it is precisely the sort of thing Clinton would do--and did do in 1993 when he walked away from his BTU tax proposal...
