Subject: RE: BS: Bush-Kerry: Beyond the Personal Attacks
Hey Bobert, Responding to your post of 8/22 @ 8:59 a.m. I've got to say that I'd rather see a more progressive canidate than Kerry out there like Kucinich or Nader but Kerry is what we got and the prospect of another 4 years of Bush/Cheney is, well, as Kerry points out "America Can do Better". Kerry has trumpeted his proposed rollback of the tax cuts for the top bracket to pay for social programs so strongly that it's become the centerpiece of his campaign and if he's elected he'll have what amounts to a mandate in that area. Hence, he shouldn't have any problem readjusting tax rates, IMO (of course, wether or not he gets the kind of social spending he wants is another matter).

GUEST Frank, Re your post of 8/22 @1:39 p.m. Very well said.
