KENNESAW, Ga. - President Bush worked to build support for his tax-cut proposals Thursday, including an appeal to America's stock "ownership society" to help his embattled plan to eliminate taxes on stock dividends.
"More consumption and investment means somebody more likely to find work," Bush told an invitation-only audience at a high school in this Atlanta suburb.

Anyone else see the overt liberal bias in this headline? Tries?
``I agree with Zell, with this economic theory that when a person has more money in his pocket, they're likely to demand that somebody produce them a good or a service,'' he said.
Bush ignores the economic reality that undermines his economic "stimulus" plan: U.S. trade deficit hit record $435.2 billion in 2002
Any "trickle down effect" normally associated with tax cuts is quickly diverted overseas.

Dubya's lack of fiscal responsibility will weaken our nation and lead to his political defeat in 2004.
Like his father, ol' Juanterm is economicly clueless, even when current headlines hit him square in the face.
Agreed... The title would make it seem like President Bush was having to go door to door to find any support for tax cuts.
The battle rages on... ;-)
The fact that demRats and socially irresponsible programs have ruled the spending ship for years and years means it's all the Republicans fault. We didn't get to tettering on the edge of full-blown socialist overnight.
socialism=socialist
No, but the ball has been handed off to Dubya.
And he's looking a lot like Wrong Way Corrigan.
IS THIS FAIR?
CBS and others have been polling Americans with leading questions such as, "Is Bush's tax plan fair to all Americans"? or, "Does the Bush plan favor the rich?" So much for impartiality. Which is why I came up with my own "fairness" quiz:
* Do you think it's FAIR that only 5% of Americans pay the majority of all taxes?
* Do you think it's FAIR that those who use government services least pay the highest taxes?
* Do you think it's FAIR that able-bodied people, even those who aren't even looking for jobs, are given unemployment for up to nine months?
* Do you think it's FAIR that politicians have their own private retirement plans that aren't affected by tax policies they impose on others?
* Do you think it's FAIR that businesses are taxed for paying dividends to your pension plan?
* Do you think it's FAIR that those who work harder than others achieve more than those who don't?
* Do you think it's FAIR that married couples pay more in taxes simply because they're betrothed?
* Do you think it's FAIR that people who pay more in taxes should be left out when tax cuts are proposed?
Klintoon signed NAFTA.
Do you honestly think Dubya is going to undo THAT if given the chance?
