Democrats and Obama continue lie about Bush tax cuts claiming Bush offered no relief to the middle class. They have done this to dissuade voters from pulling the lever for McCain by linking him to Bush.
Please read the following from FOX news, September 24, 2004:
Congress Extends Middle-Class Tax Cuts
* WASHINGTON Legislation extending three popular middle-class tax cuts for the rest of the decade sailed through Congress by lopsided votes in both the House and Senate, giving President Bush a major legislative victory on his signature economic issue, tax relief. *
* Many Democrats complained during debate Thursday that the majority Republicans who control Congress should have offset the lost revenue to keep the nation’s soaring deficits from getting worse. *** But in the end large numbers of Democrats supported the package, something that Republican tax-cut proponents had counted on occurring with a congressional election only 40 days away. *** The $145.9 billion tax cut package was approved in the House by a 339-65 vote, with 125 Democrats joining 213 Republicans and one independent in voting for the proposal. In the Senate, the measure passed by a 92-3 vote. *** The tax package Congress passed will affect an estimated 94 million Americans, mainly through its provision to extend a broader 10 percent tax bracket, which helps reduce taxes for virtually all taxpayers. The package also keeps the per child tax credit at $1,000 and retains the provisions providing married couples relief from the so-called marriage penalty. *** The package extends the child credit for five years, the marriage penalty relief for four years and the expanded 10 percent tax bracket for six years. *** When added to the tax relief Bush persuaded Congress to pass in 2001, all of the provisions will have the effect of keeping the popular provisions on the books through the rest of the decade. After 2010 all of the tax cuts are due to expire. *
Obama lies and the media sweas to it. And by the way, has anyone noticed that when it comes to the Obama plan suddenly not one democrat seems concerned about the deficit? Honest mistakes are one thing…intentionally deceiving the public is another…please vote wisely on Tuesday, November 4th.
