EDITORIAL: Changing the tax climate

The White House looked in its crystal ball Tuesday and saw a grim future of tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards and spring showers wreaking havoc across the nation. "Climate conditions are changing," the U.S. Global Change Research Program proclaimed, "and are projected to continue to change." This is presumably what President Obama meant when he campaigned on "change we can believe in."
