Apparently "Kerry is going to raise taxes!" is the best old Shrub for Brains can come up with. Apparently he thinks we're going to forget why it is that taxes need raising, and apparently we're not going to realize that they aren't being "raised by Kerry" at all - its just the end of Bush's temporary cuts that are sunseting as planned, and were in any case funded by huge deficits that have lead to the jobless recovery to end all jobless recoveries.
I mean after all, Bush was the one who sold the tax cuts to all the sheep in Congress on the basis that they were temporary. It was a case of "we'll cut your wool, but don't worry, it'll grow back with the economy". If the economy was on the mend by now he would be the one up their blurting "Told yer so!" wouldn't he? But I'm sorry, it doesn't work both ways. When the cuts don't bring the instant viagra like recovery you promised you don't get to criticise others for cancelling your voodoo prescription. Your temporary cuts end up being just that, temporary, and you get to like it, or lump it. Then you go on to find some real solutions.
So GWB, step down and shut up.
