Jack Kemp touting McCain's corporate tax cuts on MSNBC! Jack, Jack, Jack, their effective rate's 25% |
|
right in line with all the other industrialized countries in the world. It appears with their seeking of more corporate tax breaks even today, their greed truly knows no end!
And, another thing, he's lying about revenue not being raised if you raise the rates on those making over $250,000. It's just not true. Raising taxes brings in more revenue--period!
And, before he gets to small business being hurt by Obama's tax plans--let me reiterate that less than 1.4% of small businesses have an AGI (adjusted gross income) of over $250,000!
Greedy, greedy liars! We must call them out at every opportunity!
(Jack Kemp was on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell. Now she has the bipartisan lobbyists Trent Lott and John Breaux, who are partners in a lobbying firm. Their big push is for offshore drilling.)

1. K&R -- GOP pulling out all the stops. Get the likable liars out there too. |
|
Kemp has less negatives among Republicans. A likeable guy. Guess they hope his likability rubs off on McZombie and can help peddle Republican lies.
But how many lies will it take to paper over the massive disasters wrought by 8 years of Republican rule?
Democrats had a lead in Congress? Not as big as it actually was if votes had been counted properly. Margin allowed by Republican vote counting enabled Republicans to block lots of Democratic legislation.

3. Oh, and one more truth, John McCain. All earmarks total less than 1% of the federal budget! |
|
A drop in the bucket compared to our total debt which has ballooned under Bush/Cheney from $5 to $10 trillion dollars. We are truly a debtor nation.
The price of gas was $1.46 a gallon when Bush took office. Today it hovers around $4.00 a gallon.
And, the unemployment rate was 4.2% compared to today's 6.1%.
Yes, let's elect more 'free market' Republicans, why don't we!

Before your very eyes, history is proving Jack Kemp WRONG.
