Reuters retracts “backdoor taxes” report

Thanks for being a regular reader. You can check out the award-winning Regret the Error book here.

The Feb 1 story headlined “Backdoor taxes to hit middle class” is wrong and has been withdrawn. The story said lower-income families will pay more under tax provisions scheduled to expire Dec 31. The Obama administration’s budget calls for the extension of those tax provisions for households earning less than $250,000. There will be no substitute story. Link
