Bush's Economic Advantage
There's an important contrast between George W. Bush and John Kerry on economic policy, too.

THERE IS AN OLD POLITICAL SAYING: "It is better to be lucky than good." This week, President Bush was both: He gave a well-received acceptance speech to the Republican convention, and now he gets a jobs report that suggests his economic recovery program is working.
In his speech last night, the president laid out his vision for America's economic future. If re-elected, he will make permanent the tax cuts he introduced to fight the recession, and will reform the tax structure so as to lighten taxes on dividends and earnings. That means that taxes on consumption will have to go up. The word from insiders working on these reforms is that detailed plans for a shift to some form of consumption tax have already been drawn up.
Senator Kerry has a far different plan for the economy if he takes over the White House. He would repeal the tax cuts for families earning more than $200,000, and return the rate on top incomes to 39.6 percent from the Bush-created level of 35 percent. He has also promised to raise dividend and capital gains taxes on high earners.

Westi, Aren't the voting records of legislators supposed to be available to the public, without any special effort? My Son sent me a list of many of his votes by email, so they must be easily obtained. The Bush camp should copy that list from the congressional record, and blast it all over the media. Since it is something that is factual, the Kerry bunch should have nothing to say about it, but just whine, and wail, which they are so good at.
