The author supports continued research but maintains deployment is premature.

Larry Bichel compares Bush and Gore tax proposals noting Bush is simple but large enough to benefit the wealthy, while Gore is complex with targeted subsidies. He suggests a combined, $500 billion plan focusing on working poor and middle class, keeping it simple and tax-based rather than behavior linked.
