Re the IP edit (see history): providing a source whose neutrality might be challenged by some doesn't look very unbiased to me. TheMedia Research Center is "a conservative content analysis organization" after all and it seems only natural that they will disgrace the political opponent. I hope someone can edit this article to a more neutral point of view.De728631 (talk)02:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me, but The Urban Institute (Evaluate LBJ's "Great Society") and The Brookings Institution ("Best liberal think-tank in Washington") got together and formed the "non-partisan" Tax Policy Center???? Give me a break.69.152.175.201 (talk)00:33, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I might possibly believe "non-partisan". Technically it is true, in that there is (at least to my knowledge) no formal attachment to, or open endorsement of either party or its candidates. But non-biased? That's rather questionable.twfowler (talk)20:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I came to this article after hearing the following NPR story:http://www.npr.org/2015/02/02/383214913/obama-to-send-4-trillion-budget-to-congressThe interview subject says (towards the end of the story) that the Tax Policy Center's analysis of the 2015 Obama budget proposal does not count income from capital gains as real income. That is an extreme far right position if ever there was one. I suggest that the far right commenters here and elsewhere stop whining that everything not far enough right for their taste is far left.---Dagme (talk)17:48, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
At some point someone will edit this (not me, I've given up on that sort of thing, always leads to revert wars), and there will be a revert, so for people who will come upon this in the future, I offer the following--
"In 2002, tax experts who had served in the Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton administrations established the Tax Policy Center to provide unbiased analysis of tax issues."
Translation-- a bunch of rich, powerful people got together to provide an "unbiased" analysis of issues that effect the poor and weak.
Watch this get deleted using some arcane WP rules. Long live the technocrats!—Precedingunsigned comment added by96.227.158.85 (talk)22:59, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
