STATE OF THE UNION '08: Bush on Taxes

Excerpt from Bush's final State of the Union address - Jan. 28, 2008:

"We have other work to do on taxes. Unless the Congress acts, most of the tax relief we have delivered over the past 7 years will be taken away. Some in Washington argue that letting tax relief expire is not a tax increase. Try explaining that to 116 million American taxpayers who would see their taxes rise by an average of $1,800. Others have said they would personally be happy to pay higher taxes. I welcome their enthusiasm, and I am pleased to report that the IRS accepts both checks and money orders.

Most Americans think their taxes are high enough. With all the other pressures on their finances, American families should not have to worry about the Federal Government taking a bigger bite out of their paychecks. There is only one way to eliminate this uncertainty: make the tax relief permanent. And Members of Congress should know: If any bill raising taxes reaches my desk, I will veto it."

Should those that voted for this idiot feel any responsibility for the deaths of hundreds of thousands, the injury of more, and the displacement of more yet? Maybe you can blame it on the best propaganda money can buy.

Try not to make the same mistake again. Please!

McCain is just more of the same.

NO MORE!
