excellent. perfect way to flip this back in their face, especially with Teresa not releasing her returns.

[ambrose]

Anyone who has limo liberal friends/family members know the truth of this. They will speak in favor of Democrats and raising taxes, and then hide behind every tax shelter imaginable, and do everything they can to avoid paying a single cent of tax.

[GeronL]

Kerry will raise taxes on everybody. Thats why he is keeping his plan a secret until he wins. He is running the most secretive campaign in history.

[AmericaUnited]

HOME RUN!

Edwards didn't pay something like $580,000 in FICA taxes one year by using a loophole.

Kerry every year "CHOOSES" to pay the lower tax in Boston. (You can check which rate to pay, a higher or lower one)

These people are frauds! The are in the ".2%" of the the richest people in America, the very people whom they claim should "PAY THEIR FARE SHARE", blah, blah, blah, and yet they don't!

[newzjunkey]

Go, W! I like this strategy!

[NurdlyPeon]

The democrats said that 'trickle down economics' did not work, i.e., when we gave tax breaks to 'the rich', they did not trickle down to 'the poor'. What makes the democrats think that tax increases on 'the rich' will NOT trickle to 'the poor' (meaning us)?

[Just mythoughts]

This nation needs an education about how the "RICH" such as Teresa and Edwards are taxed.

I do not advocate higher taxes, rather an education as to how the "super" rich liberals are not subject to the taxes increases they demand.

These liberals seem to be reenacting "medieval" times.

Thank you, GW, for bringing up Kerry's hidden scheme to raise taxes on the middle class. Soccer moms and the rest of us hard working Americans won't like this one bit.

[Destro]

If only W took to the next logical conclusion - elimination of taxes. Flat tax us or a fed sales tax (preferred) but end this income tax nightmare that is a slave collar around the American people that turns us into vassals of the state.

BUsh's best weapons over the next 3 months:


Common sense on the economy (Tax cuts grow economy)
Common sense on foreign policy (Only way to defeat terrorists is to destroy them)


Bush wins this election because common sense, and John Kerry's lack of it, will trump the day.


Populism doesn't work when most of the population is educated.

[steveegg]

Remind me to never, ever play poker against President Bush (and to have him teach me a few tips :-)

[tbpiper]

"This is just another misleading assertion to distract attention from the real issues of this campaign, like health care."

Kerry is reportedly famous for changing subjects when he gets pinned. Seems his campaign is following suit. W nailed them on taxes and they try to shift to health care.

[jwalsh07]

Perfect, somebody has their head screwed on right.

Now lets see if Bush is telling the truth. Mr Edwards and Mrs Heinz Kerry, release those tax returns!!!!

[independentmind]

"He said he's only going to raise the tax on the so-called rich," Mr. Bush told thousands of supporters in Stark County, a crucial Ohio swing district, "but you know how the rich [are]: They've got accountants.

So unbelievably true and a good move by Bush.

[raybbr]

I have a different take on this. Isn't Bush admitting that this is what the rich have been doing all along? Isn't that what the demonrats have been complaining about: That the rich don't pay their fare share of taxes?

He should be talking about tax code reform instead of playing into the class envy game.

[counterpunch]

We need to ratchet up the call for Theresa to release her tax records. It is pretty relevent considering Kerry's soak the rich rhetoric.

[Jmouse007]

What else do you expect? Kerry & Edwards 2 Americas:

One America for the "elites" and "beautiful people," They get the Red, Blue, and Yellow tickets in life and in Kerry’s America. They get ALL the perks, ALL the benefits and get to ride at the front of the preverbal bus.

The second America represents the rest of us who are not filthy rich, who are not the Hollywood people and moguls of this world, those who can not provide them with some sort of an "advantage. We, the "little people," get to ride at the back of the bus (or not get to ride at all), we all get to pay taxes, stand outside the fence and watch from a distance as THEY roll along on their 9 thousand dollar bikes, They cruse in their 41 foot speed boats, THEY fly in their 36 million dollar jets, THEY live in their five plus mansions, THEY ride in their Rolls Royce’s, THEY wine and dine in the finest restraints while we plead on the sidelines hopping for (but never receiving because “it just isn’t done”) the "scraps" that fall from their table while Kerry, Edwards et. al. declare; and the lackey main-stream media report: "look how the masses love us and them!"

Why is anyone surprised? John Kerry DOES NEVER SERVES, HE IS SERVED BY OTHERS! This is coming from John F'n Kerry, a man who lives to be (and MUST be) FIRST in line and who's favorite saying is:

Do you know who 'I' am?"

This, and ONLY this, is what awaits America if John Kerry is elected. He and his administration (like the Clintons before them) will “milk the system” for all it is worth, for themselves, their family and friends, gorging on the backs of the second America. The rest of us are going to hurt big time, America will grow morally, spiritually, militarily and politically weaker. The terrorists will hit us big time and all the while Kerry, France and Germany will declare how good he is and how “strong” we are.

[NonValueAdded]

He could say "If only TehRAYza would show us her tax returns, you would see what I mean!"
