Bush raises Taxes

This week, the White House blocked the extension of tax cuts that affect a majority of Middle Class Americans. The House bills would continue the $1,000 child tax credit, (it would be reduced to $700), along with continue the so-called "marriage penalty," which pushes two-income families into higher tax brackets (which is actually good - but more on that later), and an expansion of the 10-percent tax bracket to cut taxes for more middle-income families. So why did the Bush Administration, who has been harping on Kerry's supposed tax increases, kill a popular tax cut?

(The Bush White House was) fearful of a bill that could draw Democratic votes and dilute a Republican campaign theme, Republican negotiators said.

That's right, the Bush Administration is willing to financially hurt a large portion of America in order to stay in power. If we use the same standard which the Bush Administration holds Kerry up to (a specious one, by the way), President Bush just raised taxes 3 times.

This is exactly what is wrong with the Bush Administration. It favours political self-survival and partisan politics over governing America. Similar to when the Bush Administration failed to apprehend or attack Abu Musab al-Zarqawi 3 times because:

Military officials insist their case for attacking Zarqawi's operation was airtight, but the administration feared destroying the terrorist camp in Iraq could undercut its case for war against Saddam.

Do you really want your President to play games with people's lives and finances, only to keep their job?
