This title doesn't say what the story says.

You're correct! In fact, the headline says the exact opposite of what the story says.

True, but the story sure is GREAT news. Like Bigun, I've been waiting my entire life for a president or Congress to even so much as float this idea. This president sure isn't wasting his term in office, that's for sure.

Did we read the same story? Doing away with the current system and going with a Nation Retail Sales Tax is what it was talking about. It will also get rid of the IRS by doing that!!

"President Bush, having already set off a firestorm over his proposals to cut taxes and revamp retirement accounts, suggested today that the time might be near to drop the income tax as a whole and replace it with some form of consumption tax."

That's it out with the old and in with the new!

This title doesn't say what the story says.

The headlines editor just couldn't believe the first sentence of story said what it actually says. These are very tough times for socialists in the U.S, and some of them are apparently going into full-blown denial.

>WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 — President Bush, having already set off a firestorm over his proposals to cut taxes and revamp retirement accounts, suggested today that the time might be near to drop the income tax as a whole and replace it with some form of consumption tax...

This title doesn't say what the story says.

Do you perceive my disappointment?
