First off, what makes you believe that Kerry would "tax us"? I know this is what the Bush campaign is saying (900 Billion...can't miss those TV commercials). But did Kerry say this?
You must not be listening to his speeches. Yes, he did say he was going to raise taxes. The republicans did the math and it came out to 900 billion but lets just say thats not the right number. What I have heard come out of Kerry's mouth is he is going to repeal the Bush tax cuts on those crazy rich people making over 200k a year. I think you and I both know 200k ain't much in NY, CA, and south Florida. He also said he is going to raise taxes on dividends and on capital gains. Now, I'm sure that there will be plenty more taxes raised, smaller taxes, but still, it all adds up.
Bush cut taxes for who? Who did it help? Who will it help? Do you believe in "trickle down economics"? George Bush Sr. called it "voodoo economics". What really works?
Bush cuts taxes across the board. That means every federal income tax bracket saw a drop in rates. Bush also cut taxes on dividends and on capital gains. He also got rid of the tax on married people and created a child tax credit. So who does this help? Well......everybody of course. That was an easy answer.
You say Bush is a "conservative". From where I am standing, I don't see him as having any political convictions at all. What makes him a conservative? Is he fiscally conservative? No. He ran as a "compassionate conservative". What has he done that has demonstrated that he is that (whatever a "compassionate conservative" is).
Political convictions? OK, let's see here........he cut taxes across the board, like he said he would. He vowed to protect this country at all costs......he did. He brought integrity back to the White house after that child molester left. In fact, I'll make a list in the next post of some of the things Georgie has done. It's too long to list here.
But Kerry being rich is a non factor in this or any other Presidential election. Poor people can't run for President.
Yes it is a factor because according to the left, rich people are evil. Kerry walks around talking about all these problems in this country, well, he could solve them right now. Why run for President? He's got the money to do it. I just don't get it. And no RS, you don't need to be a millionaire to run for President, you obviously don't remember Harry Truman.
