New Right....
...he won't make a welfare state for rich...but I would wager that his billion in new taxes aren't going to look that great to the folks who have to pay them.

He seems a bit less than specific in the groups he's targeted over the years...so I'd wager that some of that ain't gonna be paid by just "the wealthy"

New Bush is going to raise taxes after the election anyways.
At this point, either a tax increase or a spending cut is a foregone conclusion, if we want to avoid becoming Argentina II: Revenge of the Peso. Given the screaming that the special interest groups are giving these days about cutbacks to their entitlements, I don't see him cutting spending much.

Given his past behavior, I can't see Bush raising taxes on the people who can afford it - he'll mainly target the little guys, like you 'n me. At least with Kerry, we might see some smearing around of the pain, although I'm not too happy with his cut in the corporate tax rate.

New As with cuts...
...the only way you have have an impact is to change the rate on the big boys.

If he raises it they pay more than you...if he cuts them they get more back.

How it is spun is up to the opposition party and the press.

Like I care - push up the income tax to 80% - I'm not gonna miss the extry $19.95.

Fact - I made $20k last year. I made 8 times that the year before.

I'd vote for Charlie Manson at this point - he can't possibly be worse.
