30. Think about this.
Dean On Corporate Tax Loopholes!
A Boston Globe article on 12/27/03 revealed that Howard Dean cut corporate taxes by a whopping 44% in his last three years as governor by giving out corporate tax credits.

Dean authorized $80.1 million in corporate tax credits, in the name of 'economic growth.' However, most of the credits failed to generate any economic growth, or any jobs, for the state of Vermont. In the end, the audit of the program determined that the corporate tax credits "cost the state more money than they had brought in." (Boston Globe, 12/12/03)

Dean On Balancing The Budget!
"The way to balance the budget, Dean said, is for Congress to cut Social Security, move the retirement age to 70, cut defense, Medicare and veterans pensions, while the states cut almost everything else. "It would be tough but we could do it," he said."

Dean On Medicare!
Dean has said he supported an earlier Republican-backed, balanced-budget effort in 1995 that would have cut $270 billion from Medicare..."

"Dean also supported a balanced-budget plan two years later, which cut $200 billion from Medicare..."

WITH DEMOCRATS LIKE DEAN WHO NEEDS REPUBLICANS.
