Bush didn't just approve of a tax cut. He is completely responsible for the tax cut, which reduced taxes for everyone that pays them. The progressivity of the fed. tax system was mostly unchanged by the cuts. No one likes to pay taxes, but Kerry's wealth comes from having it already rather than making it. Therefore he disproportionaly lives a high lifestyle that has income as a product of capital gains, which are taxed at a much lower level. If Kerry and I make the same amount next year, I'll pay twice the taxes. Where Bush has and wants to lower taxes on income, Kerry has always opposed reductions in marginal tax rates. In fact, he wants to raise them.
Even though Bush and Kerry are both rich, I just think Kerry is a different type of rich. And I don't like the idea of giving him all of the perks that come with the White House. It's the truth and W being rich doesn't help me with that. Sorry.

W Bush got his money from his daddy and his daddy GH Bush got his money from his daddy - Prescott Bush. And Prescott Bush made a lot of money financing the Nazis up until almost 1943 when Congress passed the "Trading with the Enemy" law.
W Bush never worked a day in his life till he was 40 and his daddy got sick of watching him hang around the house and got him a job, then when that didn't pan out, he got him another job, then when that didn't pan out he arranged for financing for W to buy the Texas Rangers as a shareholder.
The rest is history.
W has never done an honest day's work in his life.
And the tax cut??
Have you seen the deficity numbers of late?
All Bush did was borrow money to give a tax cut that you can not afford.
Yep, there's a fine upstanding young man.
