http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=669&u=/usnw/20041001/pl_usnw/george_w__bush_s_choice__tax_cuts_for_the_wealthy_over_protecting_the_homeland__says_kerry_campaign148_xml&printer=1WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- George Bush (news - web sites) chose giving tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans ahead of making America secure. Once again, during last night's debate, George Bush made his choice clear. John Kerry (news - web sites) made it clear that, as president, he will put America's safety ahead of tax cuts for the wealthy. One of the fundamental choices of this election is whether we can afford more tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of keeping America secure and investing in education and health care.
A FUNDAMENTAL CHOICE:
John Kerry Supports Funding Homeland Security Over A Tax Cut For The Wealthy. "This president thought it was more important to give the wealthiest people in America a tax cut rather than invest in homeland security. Those aren't my values. I believe in protecting America first." (John Kerry, Presidential Debate, 9/30/04)
Bush Is More Worried About A Tax Cut For The Wealthy Than Protecting The Homeland. Bush said, "I don't think we want to get to how he's going to pay for all these promises. It's like a huge tax gap." (George W. Bush, Presidential Debate, 9/30/04)
JOHN KERRY CHOSE HOMELAND SECURITY:
John Kerry Has Voted to Lower the Tax Cut to Provide Additional Funding for Homeland Security. On March 21, 2003 Kerry voted to "To raise the 2003 caps by $3.5 billion for homeland security funding through a Domestic Defense Fund at the Homeland Security's Office of Domestic Preparedness in FY 2003 and to reduce the size of newly proposed tax cuts in the amount of $7 billion to pay for this amendment and for the cost of previously passed homeland security funding."
