Cheney Says Kerry Would Raise Taxes, Choke Economy

May 3 (Bloomberg) -- Vice President Dick Cheney said Democrat John Kerry would ``choke'' the U.S. economy with ``a major new tax increase'' if elected president.

Kerry's record as a four-term U.S. senator from Massachusetts shows ``that he expects that billions of dollars in tax increases will somehow create new jobs,'' Cheney said in a speech to about 700 Wal-Mart Stores Inc. employees at the company's Bentonville, Arkansas headquarters. ``Senator Kerry's tax hikes would choke entrepreneurs and cut the recent job growth in our country.''

Bush, 57, and Cheney, 63, credit the $1.7 trillion worth of tax cuts passed during their administration for helping boost the U.S. economy and restart job growth. Kerry, 60, says Bush hasn't done enough to stem the loss of 1.8 million jobs since taking office in January 2001.

``The truth is, John Kerry has proposed cutting taxes for American businesses that create jobs here at home and cutting taxes on 98 percent of Americans,'' Kerry spokesman David Wade in a telephone interview in response to Cheney's comment.

deflect, lie and spin....rove is falling down on the job.

THINK!!to create jobs here in the US! would create more tax payers.

Imagine all of the things we need education, infastructure, military, homeland security, clean air fuel DEVELOPMENT as a gigantic extra large Pizza that we all split the tab for. the more people that pay in the cheaper the pizza. The more tax payers in the economy MEANS LOWER TAXES FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!

they predicted a depression if Clinton's 1993 budget passed.

I trust him on that. My only gripe is that I consider anyone making more than 50k to be rich and they should pay more. The only way we can create a better welfare state for the needy and those that can't work is to raise taxes on the better off. I only make 30k but I am willing to have another 1-3k taken out of my paycheck to help the needy.

We can all do more.

I don't think that Kerry would raise taxes on people in your income bracket. One thing that is happening though, is that Bush's trashing of the economy is raising state and local taxes for everybody.

It's a fact that people with lower incomes are more generous and give a higher proportion of their income to the needy. T

equals lower taxes for everyone.

I don't see the shame in the title. Why are you against helping the needy?

Far left to a fault. So fond of the "welfare state".

It's not a fault. Try it sometime...you will sleep better.

,...let's move into decency and call it what it is,...a "Care Package for Americans",...instead of the demeaning, derogatory, right-wing, predatory bullshit.

The American people ARE this country. Love them or leave them. :grr:

but before I made my first post, I came here and read and learned and listened and went to suggested links for at least eight months, and I just want to mention to you that these are the finest people who you will ever meet. You got some nerve showing up and making a remark like you just posted. I hope one of the knocks you out of here. I wouldn't want to spoil their fun by doing it myself.

on edit: 800 posts! :toast:

from the article:
Vice President Dick Cheney said Democrat John Kerry would ``choke'' the U.S. economy with ``a major new tax increase'' if elected president.

Ok, given that Cheney/* predicted that their 2 massive tax cuts for the wealthy would generate jobs and increased tax revenues -- the opposite of the results -- shouldn't Cheney's prediction be taken as a sign that Kerry's economic plans would be a boon for the economy?

The tax cuts were first introduced as a way to give the surplus back to the "people". Then the recession hit, but rather than review the soundness of a tax cut under the changed circumstances they just changed the marketing mantra. Suddenly the tax cuts were to provide stimulus. I cannot think of any other time that tax cuts were pushed in a recessionary period. Maybe I missed something but I really can't think of any sound reason to believe tax cuts during a recession make sense, yet this Bozo pushed through 3 of them.

The big dick is funnelling the national treasury into his own bank accounts.

...wealthiest, and we all the know how badly that choked the economy back then, right? Please!

These goofballs need to be reminded of their Chicken Little predictions back then, and how vast prosperity occured instead.

listen to a word from Chainsaw. Anybody earning less that $100K in the USA is getting the shaft from Bushco.

Who exactly is paying for the Imperialistic Wars that are profiting the Multi-Corps and the Military Industrial Complex? Research who is profiting from the wars.

said we'd get a depression. No Republican voted for that budget.

which is what Bush has done to the economy.

And Kerry isn't raising taxes, he's going to allocate the tax burden fairly, which will REVIVE the economy.

He's giving the economy CPR. Or resurrecting it.

He is EMPTY when it comes to compassion or "serving" or embracing the WORTH of every American citizen. He is the epitome of an ELITIST. He only embraces "nationalistic" fervour when it serves his pockets and his power. He is one very sick mo-fo!!!

Clinton was going to wreck the economy too, wasn't he?

W.O.W. Must be mind-meld. <shivers>

Did Dipwad bother asking how many new entrepreneurs were in the audience he was addressing? I'm sure thousands of minimum-wage Wal-Mart employees have gotten the old "entrepreneurial spirit" and started up new business ventures with all the money they have saved from their tax cuts. Sheesh.....

bunch of fucking liars.

Bush and Cheney are strangling the economy.

So far so good.

But they are starting to lay the groundwork... "choking"..."raise"..."Dick"... it's only a matter of time!

Cheney raises his micro-phallus, orders Bush to choke on it

well and his savant economic consultant dr bush.

what a crock of bull.

Who pissed away the Clinton surplus? Who enacted reckless tax cuts? Who said that outsourcing is good?
