KERRY'S DIVIDENDS

Sen. John Kerry's campaign Web site has wiped out past information about his record, including a 2002 speech opposing the income tax on dividends. He changed his position after President Bush in January 2003 proposed repeal of the dividends tax.

In a speech prepared for delivery to the City Club of Cleveland on Dec. 3, 2002, Kerry said: "We should attempt to end the double taxation of dividends." That position by the prospective Democratic presidential nominee goes back to 1990 during his first Senate re-election campaign in Massachusetts, when he claimed pro-business credentials by saying: "I supported ending double taxation of dividends."

However, Kerry never has actually voted to end double taxation of dividends. Last May 23, he voted against partial repeal of the dividends tax pushed by Bush.
