Reply #33: Yes Kerry is raising taxes [View All]

[Nicholas_J]

But like a GOOD democrat, he is ONLY raising them on the rich, the top two percent of Amiercan citizens who got 65 percent of the 1.6 TRILLION dollar total of the Bush tax cuts.

Dena is going to raise taxes on the rich who do not need the money, AND the middle class who DO need it and WILL need it until democrats refincing the states can result in a roll back of local taxation.

Before that happens, Dean will be placing an ENORMOUS burdnet on the working class, hut by increased local taxation, thenm seeing a decrease in theiw weekly paychecks if the cuts roll back.

Can Dean absolutely ENSURE that the taxes raised at the local level will be rolled back, even if he starts sending more money to the staes (which he WILL NOT DO, regardless of what he says, in light of his comittment to balance the budget in his first term).

HE will NOT commit to lowering taxes at the local leve, and by law, he cannot make them do so in any way, nor can he hold funbding the states aagain a carrot to waive before them or deny funding to states based on their rolling back local taxes.

Not ONE economist approves of Deans ideas of rolling back all of the taxes nor do the public. Many state it would be devestating to the economy. 35 percent of the public approve only of repealing the tax cuts to the wealthy and dsapprove of rolling back the middle class portion.
