This Video is part of Pat Meagher's Campaign for Congress in the 41st District currently held by Jerry Lewis.
On April 1, 2008, The Big Bear Valley Democratic Club hosted the Debate for the three Democratic Candidates running to decide who takes on Jerry Lewis in the General Election this November.
The three Democratic Candidates are: Tim Prince, Rita Ramirez-Dean, and Pat Meagher.
In this video, Pat answers the question on Taxes and the Middle Class and the Bush policy of giving tax breaks to the wealthiest citizens while cutting services to the rest of Americans, such as education, public transportation, health care, etc.
Jerry Lewis has not only voted for the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy but in every way he demonstrates contempt for the American worker.
