Kerry raised taxes 98 times over 20 years? That's nothing. Bush is about to do the same 63 times in a single day.


"He voted 98 times to raise taxes. I mean, these aren't make-up figures." — George W. Bush

If there's a single piece of data President Bush wants to bring to your attention, it's that John Kerry, during his 20 years in the Senate, voted to raise taxes 98 times. Bush repeats this often, usually in a tone of incredulity. But Kerry is a piker. When Bush signs the big corporate tax bill passed this week by the Republican Congress, he will be approving 63 different tax increases with a single stroke of the pen.
