The problem with your approach, and the typical Kerry missive, is that it paints everything that Bush has brought as bad, basically you are anti-Bush.

One can find excellent proposals from Bush followers and from Kerry followers. The problem is that each side is so busy attacking the other side that nothing happens.

The Bush tax cuts should not be rolled back except for those who make say > 200,000, do not have unusual gains, and who do not have estates over $10 million. That would be a very specific approach and would show courage by Kerry to delineate in specifics instead of the "we'll roll back the tax cuts on the super rich...." crappola that is spouted.

Yes - go after tax havens, charitable foundations, generational trusts and other vehicles that favor billionares who can afford hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax planning. But Kerry doesn't talk about that in specifics.

We all know that the "super rich" are you and me and everyone else who busts their posteriors working hard.
