President Bush right now is in Kutztown, about an hour from where I live. I am listening to his townhall meeting on the local radio station.
He is talking to people; business owners, families, and other citizens who have gained from the tax cuts which have stimulated the economy. One man who talked to Bush during his speech, a self-employed "wealthy" man was able to invest into his business, increase productivity, and hire several more employees.
Many people who are 'rich' (at least according to John Kerry's definition) are actually wealthy because of the businsses they own. What is defined as their wealth, is actually the wealth of their company. John Kerry wants to "roll back" those tax cuts. Doing so will inhibit those business owners from reinvesting in their companies. No longer will they have money to buy new equipment, modernize, hire more employees and stay cometitive.
All Kerry knows of wealth is the sliver spoon lifestyle he was born into. He married twice into extreme wealth, and believes that all rich people are idle socialites like himself.
Posted by psugrad98 at July 9, 2004 12:00 PMPlease accept a slight emendment to what you say above. Kerry-Edwards identifies "wealthy" as the top 2% of the tax bracket. That includes people like Kerry himself but not folks who consider themselves wealthy but really are upper middle class, like small business owners, doctors, and yes, even most lawyers. Thus, people seem to be wrongly identifying themselves, when if fact they would benefit more from the Kerry economic proposals than the Bush "plan" that has managed to ensure that all but the top 2% pay for the enormous deficit we now have.

Apparently it is Robin Hood. huh?
Socialist pig.
