Reply #19: "Tax" is a bait word used by republicans to attack Democrats - Baucus is well aware of this.

[LaPera]

I prefer regulations, legislation, cutting the loop holes, making the banks "gambling" ILLEGAL - I'm pushing for reform known as the Volcker Rule, I want to see monopolies, "too large to fail" banks broken up....there are plenty of other things the Dems have planned to help clean up the years & years of republican corporate deregulation's and surely other words than "tax" can describe the democratic plan more accurately.

However, Max Baucus is a proven corporate whore, (all one has to do is remember the corporate bucks Baucus took in and the shit legislation in favor of the insurance corporations he produced & called health care "reform" legislation).

Baucus absolutely knows the word "tax" has a negative stigma or connotation attached to it, that is diabolical tactic & purposely associate with the democrats used by the republicans unfairly & deceitfully for years.

Baucus is using the word "tax' to get lighter, do-nothing weaker legislation for his corporate money master pals, this time the banking corporations.

How quickly Dems forget, republicans count on it.

I certainly don't trust Baucus, do you?
