Why does the Obama tax plan change? Just look at the polls. Check out the video here and how Obama Adviser Goolsbee closes the conversation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS2I2k0I3DY"
Facing criticism from John McCain that his tax plan constitutes "welfare," Barack Obama recently added a work requirement to one of his proposals. "They started saying this was welfare," said Obama adviser Austan Goolsbee. "So, just so they would absolutely not be able to say that, we decided that for the last two percent we'll simply add a work requirement."
Goolsbee discussed the change to Obama's universal mortgage credit while debating McCain adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin at the Council on Foreign Relations on Tuesday... "When did this change? I'm just curious," an incredulous Holtz-Eakin asked Goolsbee. "About two weeks ago," replied Goolsbee, adding that when the proposal was announced in September 2007, 98 percent of its benefits went to workers.
