Gaffe-prone Joe Biden put his foot in his mouth again yesterday, mistakenly excluding millions of Americans from his running mate's tax-cut proposal.
The Delaware senator's latest blunder came while discussing Republican tax policies during a television interview in his hometown of Scranton, Pa.
"What we're saying is, that $87 billion tax break doesn't need to go to people making an average of $1.4 million," Biden said.
"It should go to middle-class people, people who make $150,000 a year."
Actually, Barack Obama has promised to cut taxes on households earning less than $200,000 a year while raising taxes on those who make more than $250,000 annually.

Agreed. They don't want to be locked into the original numbers, since even the neoMarxist 'Social justice' Democrat economists (now there's an oxymoron...) have figured out it can't possibly work as advertised. Joe is laying smoke and moving the goalposts around, if ineptly.
