29. Are we correct in saying that Kerry supports Bush's irresponsible tax..
Are we correct in saying that Kerry supports Bush's irresponsible tax cuts that did away with the fiscal discipline of the Clinton Administration?

Let's remind ourselves that Clinton's fiscal discipline is what reduced Reagan's deficits and brought the nation budget surpluses and an economic boom.

So when Kerry flip-flops in the Fall and endorses any elements of Dean's proposal to rescind Bush's irresponsible tax cuts, then when can truthfully say that Kerry is trying to increase our taxes. Kerry labeled Dean's proposals as a "tax increase," echoing the same line the GOP will use against him when he does the same thing.

Restoring fiscal sanity is not a tax increase, but since Kerry already labeled it as such, why should we be shocked and hurt when the GOP refers to Kerry as a tax-loving candidate when Kerry demagogued the same issue with Dean?
