The problem is that they cut taxes disproportionately in
favor of corporations and the wealthiest few, which is exactly
the wrong thing to do. Not only do we have a record deficit,
but our local taxes are skyrocketing to make up for the federal
cuts in state aid. Bottom line is that corporations and the wealthiest
few are taxed less and the middle class is taxed more.

The bu$h regime is cutting federal aid to states to help
fund obscene tax cuts for the elite and it's war profiteering
in Iraq. The tax cuts and corporate welfare handouts have to be
covered by increases local taxes. Meanwhile jobs are leaving,
wages are stagnant, and health care costs are skyrocketing...

In September and October 2003, McClellan said he had spoken
directly with Rove about the matter and that "he was not
involved" in leaking Plame's identity to the news media.
McClellan said at the time: "The president knows that Karl
Rove wasn't involved," "It was a ridiculous suggestion"
and "It's not true."
Yet another in the endless stirng of bu$h's lies.
