Tax Role Reversal In Rhode Island

It appears that Rhode Island's Democrats and Republicans have traded places on tax policy. Democrats have recently proposed a flat income tax of 5.5% on high wage earners in order to stay competitive with Massachusetts. And the best the Republicans could do was ask how Democrats planned on "paying for" those tax cuts...

Good for the Democrats - they seem to be the party of fiscal common sense in the Ocean State. Maybe they can rub off their ideas on those in Washington.
