"W" stands for "WHOPPER!"
Bush is at it again today on the campaign trail lying to the America people about small business owners getting hit by Kerry's proposed tax rollbacks for the top 2% of wage earners. Only 4% of small businessmen make over $200,00 and this figure is ballooned by adding in folks like Bush and Cheney who actually qualify as "small bidnessmen."

Remember the "Want Some Wood?" comment Bush made in the second debate? Well, this investment qualified him as a small businessman. Funny, how the tax laws are used to make the rich richer!

I have read that actual small business owners number only about 2%--half as much as "W" touts on the campaign trail. Yet, is the cable news media calling him on this?

3. Whoppers now come without tomatoes
Burger King has temporarily removed tomatoes from Whoppers becaue the hurricanes in Florida took out such a high percentage of the tomoto crop the price of tomatoes has more than doubled. I just found that out at lunch.

Otherwise, yeah Kerry & Co. need to do a better job emphasizing how few small businessmen get harmed by the tax rollback, and that Clinton only raised the taxes of 1.3% of Americans in '93. Bush's dad in '92 was desperate to spread similar fear Clinton would raise taxes across the board, not just the wealthy.
