Tax cut clash dominates early GOP debate in Iowa
A heated 90 minute GOP debate in Iowa centered on taxes as McCain, Bush, and Forbes sparred over plans and real benefits. McCain attacked Bush's $483 billion five year plan as excluding Social Security and Medicare funding, while Bush defended his perks and called McCain's plan a tax hike. Forbes pressed Texas cuts and Texas property tax trends, asserting real reductions while noting 1999 tax hikes in many districts.
