Kerry Likes Bush Middle Class Tax Cuts Dan FrisaDemocrat presidential candidate John Kerry, D-Mass., on Thursday vehemently defended the Bush tax cuts as essential for the MIDDLE CLASS, especially as a means of encouraging growth in the economy. At a candidates debate on the economy sponsored by CNBC in New York City, the Massachusetts senator defended the president’s tax cut policy as part of his attack on most of his opponents among the Ten Little Indians vying for the party’s presidential nomination, many of whom want to repeal the entire tax cut. It is unclear if the senator understood that he had just single-handedly exposed the long-shouted liberal lie decrying “tax cuts for the rich” in a matter of a minute and a half. Kerry was able to provide the best proof yet that the tax cuts are a well-reasoned approach to stimulating the economy, making short work of the task that conservatives have long failed to achieve, due to the stonewalling of the truth by the lamestream media. “Thirty-two million couples get $1,000 per year in tax savings and another sixteen million families receive between $1,500 and $3,000 per year,” Kerry intoned as he attacked former Vermont governor Howard Dean for promising to repeal all of the tax cuts. Former general Weasley Clark also advocates eliminating the tax cut, as do some of the other Little Indians. Kerry argued that now is not the time to take these tax cuts away from the middle class, which is such an integral element in the recovery given that consumer spending has been driving the economy. Even though he wants to eliminate that portion of the cut for taxpayers in top brackets, his statement is proof positive that the tax reductions benefited all income levels across the board, with the biggest percentage savings skewed to the lower brackets. Thank you, Senator Kerry; this is precisely what Republicans having been saying all along! So much for the “tax cuts for the rich” lie, which has become a near-mantra of the left for years.
