Bush Lies in his radio address today. Press immediately calls him on it!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A2611-2004Oct2.html

WASHINGTON - One month before Election Day, President Bush sought Saturday to make sure Americans know he is signing into law a fourth tax cut in four years. On Monday in Iowa, Bush will sign legislation extending three popular middle-class tax breaks and reviving some expired business tax incentives.

The tax package Congress passed last month will affect an estimated 94 million Americans, mainly through its provision to extend a broader 10 percent tax bracket, which helps reduce taxes for virtually all taxpayers. The package also keeps the per-child tax credit at $1,000 and retains the provisions providing married couples relief from the so-called marriage penalty.

The package extends the child credit for five years, the marriage penalty relief for four years and the expanded 10 percent tax bracket for six years. All were to have expired Jan. 1.

Bush said his Democratic challenger, MassachusettsSen. John Kerry, had opposed the tax cuts to be extended Monday. In fact, Kerry agreed with Bush on the need to retain the personal income tax cuts.

2. Finally...Kerry Needs To Scream About This Scam
DeLay has set a bomb for Congressional Democrats and Frist can't wait to do the same to certain (Daschele) Senate Democrats. They're gonna be forced to vote against a tax cut in the waning days of an election...or end up supporting another giveaway to the rich.

We've already received spam mail from our decrepid Repugnican Congresslimer bragging how he's gonna bring home a tax cut and keep electing him and he'll give even more. All the sheeple here is tax cut and don't realize they will see nothing and end up paying more.

Kudos to my accountant who pointed out this tax cut scam when he first saw it in 2001. The provisions of the cuts "sunset" or die by 2011...thus can be used as political footballs in every election by the GOOP. As long as they control Congress they can throttle and play with it...doing these pre-election giveaways to the rich.

Be assured, if this regime loses, and loses big, DeLay won't hesitate to ram through one more "cut" in the lame duck session to make the cuts permanent...thus screwing state and local budgets for years to come.

C'mon John...the media is listening...BROADSIDE!
