This thread is dedicated to Moderate Centrists, Independent voters, third party enthusiasts, Libertarians, Greens, and even Communists - in other words anybody who is not a Republican or a Democrat.
I bet you a cookie this thread gets hardly a friendly response! Prove me wrong!

How does it hurt
Elaine
Let's forget Kerry, because it's all hypothetical with him anyway, his numbers are no more or less FUZZY than Bush's were just 2 days into the General Election. You skipped right over that point and jumped right onto the DISCREDIT KERRY wagon, again.
So, What are you going to cut? Why do you advocate the fiscal policy of passing the buck to my children?
I don't enjoy paying more taxes, but I enjoy the thought of my child paying double even less.
As for tax cuts creating a better environment and better jobs?
Under clinton, we saw taxes cut for the middle class, raised for the wealthy. After which, we saw 22 million jobs created and the real bread & Butter? Wages went up an average of $7,000/year.
Under Bush: Taxes cut across the board, more than 1 million jobs lost. 5 million jobs displaced and those that had them are now making less money. Wages in the Bush Administration are down an average of $1,700/year.
I'm certainly no economist and will never pretend to know one. But I know from personal experience with credit cards in my youth: Spending money you don't have is not the way to go. We only have Bush's word that the defecit will be worked out, and nothing from Bush's actions to indicate that.
If you mean payroll taxes, I agree 10000% as I have been promoting that for over 8 years in my town and many many people agree with me.
With regards to the highest people having their taxes increased, as long as it is the people making in excess of perhaps $600,000 or more a year, then I may support a limited increase, but Kerry is talking about raising taxes on anyone making $200,000 a year and over.
With regards to the States, too many have been living high off the hog for too long, without having to worry about truly balancing their state budgets because they could alwarys rely on the Federal $$$ to bail them out.....well times are changing, and states should have to curb their appetites as well.
If they'd just stop taking money out of my paycheck in the first place it would help more than giving it back after they've kept it (and the interest it earns) for months.
I believe he is talking about revoking the tax cuts for people making over $200,000 a year, not raising their taxes.

Nice try :0
But the GOP leadership will make the most of this chance to say Kerry will 'Raise your taxes'. If the end result is that they go up, they're raised.
If not, were you already decided or are you waiting for the debates?
