Does he even read his own speeches?
“The Bush Tax can take $3,500 or more from the pockets of America’s middle class. And they can’t afford that price.” — Kerry
“Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry … pledged to retain the Bush tax cuts for the middle class and even add to them.” — AP report.
Kerry “has voted for higher taxes 350 times… His campaign trail promises mean that he is going to raise taxes by at least $900 billion.” — Steve Schmidt, Bush-Cheney campaign
Kerry 2004: The Government giveth and the Government taketh away. But mostly taketh, in order to giveth. Really.
