No he wouldn't have. But in 2001, the child tax credit was refundable and your friend would have noticed it in his year end tax returns. If you had kids, you would have too. And everybody benefitted from the 10% tax bracket. And by the way, these are Democratic tax cuts.

And Dean is not the only candidate that's going to fund various programs. Do you know Kerry is the one who wrote the nurse reinvestment act for nursing students? He worked on SCHIP? He worked on AIDS funding? He's been working on health care for years. He knows as much about federal health programs as Howard Dean does, probably more.

And my daughter is in school and I understand all your costs. So why in the world would you want to increase your taxes on top of it all? BEFORE the State gets the money and MAYBE reduces taxes and tuition? You know Oregon as well as I do. Let's keep our tax cuts and make sure they do what they're supposed to before we let go of them.
