Bush Wants to Raise Your Taxes

By Andrew Dobbs

Still no word from "Bill"- guess it's easier to scratch your ass and attack the loved ones of those serving overseas online than to stand up like a man and put your money where your mouth is. But on another note, George W. Bush is going to raise the taxes on American families:

"It's time to return to the idea that made this country great," said Edwards. "Instead of helping wealthy people protect their wealth, we should reward the work of America's middle class."

The president has spent the past four years working to shift the tax burden onto people who work, while eliminating taxes on unearned income. The Bush administration's new "tax reform" plan, as revealed in a memo released by his former Treasury Secretary, is a reckless continuation of the President's history of serving special interests on the backs of working Americans.

The President's plan will raise taxes on typical families and take away deductions for home mortgages, charity and health care, hurting middle class families even more than before and rewarding special interests.

Alright, it is a K-E Press Release but I have yet to hear anything in response from Bush-Cheney. If this plan goes through, American families will have tens of thousands of dollars in extra tax exposure every year. Kerry will lower taxes on American families while maintaining write-offs for those whose paychecks go a lot less further thanks to George W. Bush and Bush will raise your taxes.

Let's push this new Middle Class Tax on the American Dream as a top reason to vote against Bush.
