Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on President Bush’s comments on Leader Pelosi during his press conference at the White House:
“President Bush and his Rubber Stamp Republican Congress can’t seem to grasp that Democrats have long fought for middle-income tax cuts. This is in stark contrast to the Republican tax breaks for the super rich that have led to a budget that is grossly out of balance and a national debt that is morally indefensible.
“Democrats propose a New Direction to provide real tax help to hard-pressed families, which will inject demand into our economy, spur economic growth that will produce jobs, and reduce the deficit, and we will do it in a fiscally responsible way.”
Have they ever voted for any kind of tax cut?
Very true - if your definition of middle income is living in a Detroit project, having a 30 year-long career as a fry cook for McDonalds, and riding the bus to work.
She is worse than a liar.
no plan, no specifics.."trust us on what we say we're going to do but haven't done in 200 years"..
In 1992, then-candidate Bill Clinton campaigned on the promise of a middle-class tax cut. In 1993, President Clinton passed the largest tax increase in US history. In 1994, Republicans campaigned on the Contract With America, which promised broad-based tax relief. In 1995, the Republican majority passed a balanced budget with tax relief, only to see it vetoed by the president.
"“President Bush and his Rubber Stamp Republican Congress can’t seem to grasp that Democrats have long fought for middle-income tax cuts."
Apparently they lost the fight since the Republicans are the ones who brought forth tax cuts for EVERYONE.
Pelosi is a tool.
... it's just that when we get down to it, we decide a big hike would be better.
Super Rich = family income >75,000
We wouldn't expect her to say the "low income class" now would we? That would mean she doesn't "feel" for them.
She must believe in the BIG LIE ... sick.
you left out "who has zero income tax liability to begin with". What part of "the rich pay most of the taxes so, by definition, the get the most in tax cuts" do they not get?
Middle Income = $20k a year or less
What does she mean "middle-income"? Why doesn't she say middle class? I call shenanigans!
Senator Reid was asked to define middle class and he could not.
That is EXACTLY what she wants. Tax cuts for people who don't pay taxes. What a country...
Exactly!!
When asked Nancy couldn't cite a figure to define "middle class".
“President Bush and his Rubber Stamp Republican Congress can’t seem to grasp that Democrats have long fought for middle-income tax cuts. "
Capital B, the Capital S.
That spells Capital BS.
Did you hear that, Nancy?
BS!
Just one word fits. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. What a Jacka@@ and my apoligies to Donkeys for equating them to pelosi.
