« Where is the Outrage? | Main | New Ad Space For Sale » October 11, 2004Taxes, Lies and VideotapeTwo ads from the Bush campaign highlight President Bush's strong economic record and Kerry's strong record of voting for higher taxes. Nearly Two Million Reasons (shown at left - hit the play button) touts the success of Bush's economic leadership. Clockwork, notes that in his nearly-20-year Senate career, John Kerry has voted for higher taxes an average of once every three weeks. Speaking of taxes, BlogsForBush has proof that John Kerry was lying when he made his on-camera promise during the second debate to not raise taxes on anybody making less than $200,000 a year. Tax increases for millions of Americans making far less than that are part of Kerry's own published economic plan. Posted in Campaign Season

If Kerry increases dividend taxes, wouldn't that affect those earning less than $200,000? Posted by: Amphipolis at October 12, 2004 08:41 AMHey Bill, here's a follow up to my article about John Kerry's lies regarding taxes. http://texasrainmaker.blogspot.com/2004/10/fact-checking-factcheck.html It appears his tax increase will actually affect 1.3 million small businesses, 400k more than Bush has been stating (and almost a million more than MSM is stating while trying to catch Bush in a lie) Funny how MSM isn't questioning the fact Kerry's own published tax plan contradicts his campaign/debate statements. Posted by: Jason Smith at October 12, 2004 09:50 AMYou guys think that the Bush record on jobs is good? Sorry. But, he has delivered 1/3 of the jobs he promised from the 2003 tax cut! Don't believe me. Look at the President's Council of Economic Advisors proposal for the 2003 tax cut. The graph on the last page shows job growth over the first six quarters of the tax cut. According to the President's CEA, we would have seen 306K jobs/month with the cuts and 228K jobs/month without. For the life of the tax cut, the President has delivered, on average 105K jobs/month, 1/3 of his promise. Moreover, according to economists, we need 150K jobs/month to keep up with population growth. The 1.9 million jobs in 13 months comes out to just under that. So, by that measure, we are barely treading water. If you follow the full 15 months of the tax cut (and consider that we LOST jobs in the first months of it), the President has created only 1.57 million new jobs in that time. That's 2/3 of what we need. In other words, relative to population growth, we are LOSING jobs. If GWB was serious about jobs, he would have made dividends tax deductible to businesses. That would have eliminated the double taxation and giving business more money to put into jobs. Instead, he gives Bill Gates get $3.2 billion tax free this year because of the dividend cut. Who gets to pay for that lost income while GWB spends like a drunken sailor? Our kids. That's the way to help them have a good future. To me, these tax cuts you guys defend is a big bait-and-switch.
