3. He voted for the 2002 unemployment benefit extension and temporary
stimulus package:

Senator John Forbes Kerry voted YES.

Vote to pass a bill that would provide temporary business tax breaks and extend for thirteen weeks unemployment benefits that would cost $51.2 billion in fiscal 2002.

HR 3090 Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002

Vote to pass a bill that would provide temporary business tax breaks and extend for thirteen weeks unemployment benefits that would cost $51.2 billion in fiscal 2002. The bill would provide incentives for rebuilding the area around the World Trade Center in New York City and include a 30 percent equipment depreciation deduction for three years. The bill would also reauthorize the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families grant program, prolong several of the expiring tax provisions, and extend for three years the net operating loss carryback period.
Note: Bill signed by president on 03/09/2002.
(Bill sponsored by Thomas, R-CA)
Bill passed 85-9: R 47-1; D 37-8; I 1-0 on 03/08/2002.

4. Lots of variations
It's hard to tell which tax cuts he voted for that got into an actual bill and which didn't. Scroll to the bottom of the link and you'll see what I mean. But I know he voted for the marriage penalty one. And he wrote an Alternative Minimum Tax one, he's been supportive of some capital gains and dividends tax cuts, and there's an estate tax repealing the estate tax on less than $100 million that he voted yes on. I imagine he voted on the 10% bracket and child tax credit too, but I don't know how they got in the bill specifically.

7. Let's hope not...the most unfair deficit increasing bullshit to ever to
pass through the American peoples lives.

Now because of the Bush tax cuts there's no money left...so we gave it all to the republican donating corporations and CEO's....No money left, so let's change " Education & Social Security, meaning vouchers and privatizing. privatizing for Bush corporations like Halliburton (in Iraq) stepping forward, to steal our tax dollars to give to private organizations, (who lie and insist private business is more efficient, more lies and spin)

Do you get it yet we must change the fact that corporations are equal to us, individuals.

Got to get angry and want to fight these fascist!!!
