It's a very simple concept. A new tax is raising taxes.
McCain promised to not raise taxes, and proposes to tax an item which has never been taxed.
He cannot do both. I know that. The folks with the pretzel-bending minds may have tortured something out of those facts which then deny the basic reality - A new tax is a raised tax.
And there's no sense going on with this. You and Rush will find some way to explain that a new tax isn't new or a tax. Or is offset by a giveaway which negates the effect of the new, increased tax, which is not a tax increase.
