Friends Don't Let Friends Watch Fox

(Unless You're Talking about the World Series)
And here's why they don't.
October 25 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto (with a hat-tip to Media Matters):
Throw in a Fox News alert for you. It is being called the mother of all tax hikes. Democrats unveiling a trillion-dollar tax plan today, it includes a 4 percent surtax on people earning $150,000 a year. Now remember when a million bucks was considered rich only last year at this time? So are these tax hikes going to stop people from striving for success?
I suppose Mr. Cavuto is aware that only the most rabid right-wingers would call the Rangel tax plan "a hike." But I certainly hope he's aware that the bill, net-net, is painstakingly revenue-neutral, as the House PAYGO rules require. The only people who are saying that tax reform doesn't need to comply with PAYGO tend to be, um, those same right-wingers.
Mr. Cavuto, take a hike.
