Kerry said taxes wouldn't be raised for those under $200,000 do you make more than that?
If you truly believe taxes are not going to go up for anyone in the next 4 years no matter who is elected... you live in a fantasy world. Someone is going to have to pay for the war. OOO yeah Bush can just keep dipping into Social Security.
Kerry at least has a plan to keep those under $200,000 free from increase for awhile and a plan to save SS. Bush has no plan, will allow jobs to keep going overseas (which when they do and then people get hired for less money.... who makes up for that tax burden, especially when the companies and people sending jobs overseas not only make more but pay less of a % in taxes than you do probably.)
But vote for Bush.... just like his daddy he's going to have to raise taxes or have such a deficit and fucked up system that the next president is going to be screwed.... if we don't have WW3 or a civil war first.

The argument for lower taxes does not come close to falling apart when looking at the chart.
My local taxes remained the same. I'm not sure about my state taxes because they aren't that significant in comparison but they have gone up in virtually every year that I've been paying taxes. They are not solely related to the level of federal taxes.
Kerry can not pay for his programs while only taxing those who make more than $200k. If he keeps the promise of not raising taxes on those making less than $200k he will have to break a dozen other promises of new programs or spending.
Where did I EVER say that taxes will not go up in the next four years?
The whole argument of jobs going overseas has been discussed over and over again. The numbers are virtually inconsequential in terms of tax revenue and in comparison with the number of jobs in the economy. It sure sucks if your job went overseas but there are industries that are hiring. That's the nature of the economy. I was writing about declining industries a decade ago and the need for employees (and companies that support the migrating industries) to focus on the industries which are growing in the US. There is nothing different about the current situation versus ten years ago when industries like clothing manufacturers were moving overseas.
