Kerry has made statements, but has not offered a plan. That is a game politicians do, as they know the longer their supporters do not know what they support, the better the odds they will not leave them when the plans are disclosed. This is not limited to Kerry, by any means, but I am surprised every election year that people will be so excited about a candidate, and not know what they are saying. The tax issue is but one case.

Kerry must increase tax revenues, which means tax increases. There is an argument for this...but the candidates know it is the kiss of death if they are honest so they talk about cuts, confuse most, and people vote for them. A silly way to elect someone, if someone wants the job, put everything down in writing and let us decide from clear concise information. I know it makes too much sense, so we continue to do it the bogus way...and people continue to support a candidate and not know the facts.

Let's take all of the pork barrel projects out of the budget and see where we are. I want someone from any party to get a handle on spending BEFORE we work on the tax side. All of the pork projects belong to congress, not the President. The American people need to make congress fiscally responsible.
