Hillary Clinton leads the presidential polls, but there’s one issue that could

change things by next November. No, it’s not the war or abortion but that pocketbook issue that has long defined the difference between the parties: taxes.
Democratic Congressional leader Charles Rangel has proposed a $1 trillion tax revision which, by some estimates, would increase taxes more than $3 trillion over 10 years. And finally, someone has begun to tally up the cost of Hillary Clinton’s campaign promises, which total somewhere between $100 and $200 billion.
Often as an election draws closer, the economy and pocketbook issues loom larger. And one real difference between the parties is the Republican plan of continuing the tax cuts of the Bush years, or moving to the revisions and increased taxes of the Democrats.
To paraphrase the late Senator Everett Dirksen — a trillion here and a trillion there may start to sound like real money.
