Sen. John Kerry Flip-Flops on Tax Cuts for Rich

Massachusetts senator John Kerry reportedly is flip-flopping on tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, according to newyorkpost.com.

This past summer, Kerry, a Democrat, went on record that he would back a one-to two-year extension of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy -- if that provision was incorporated in a bill that also extended middle-class cuts.

Last week, however, Kerry told the Boston Globe, "Under no circumstances do I believe we should give a blanket extension to the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans -- it won't fix our economy and it will add billions to the long-term structural deficit."

Senate Finance Committe chairman Max Baucus of Montana is singing the same tune.
