W is STILL blaming Clinton & Kerry's "hidden tax plan"

"In the last six months of the prior administration, more than 200,000 manufacturing jobs were lost. We're turning that around," said Bush, who cited the addition of 107,000 manufacturing jobs this year.

Okay that stat might be accurate but it's been four years and your party has been in full control for 2 whole years!

Now get this (make sure you check out table at the bottom)

"One of my opponent's key economic advisers is saying they won't give the details on how they would raise spending and lower the deficit until after the election," Bush said.

"Well, if they want to hold back information until the people vote, you can bet it won't be good news for the taxpayers," Bush said. "But America will reject the hidden Kerry tax plan."

So the increases in health care costs aren't a hidden tax on both workers AND employers? Anyone who ever passed by an econ class in college knows that the health of the workforce is the primary concern for an economy of any size.

And someone seems to have forgotten the gross tonnage of information Bush has kept or tried to keep from being released or at least reported on (google-Pentagon global warming for a perfect example).

I have a copy of the following printed and cut out to carry in my wallet should someone ask about how Kerry's plan (aside from lowering health care and pharmaceutical costs) will DIRECTLY affect them. I encourage you to do the same. From Deloitte & Touche no less-NOTE: the column for "Annual savings provided by Bush tax cuts" is the difference that already exists, it is NOT NEW.



Deloitte & Touche, one of the Big Four accounting firms, has taken a shot at figuring that out. Using Internal Revenue Service figures from 2001 (the most recent available), Deloitte's number-crunchers have concluded that this is a dogfight at high economic altitude.

1. If I were Kerry, I would say something like,"Well, judging by Bush's

record on hidden weapons of mass destruction, you can be fairly sure if Bush says I have a hidden plan to raise taxes, it doesn't exist.

2. He just needs to explain that he is going to LOWER taxes

over all.
