... but then again, they're taxed far too heavily now.

explain to me how that's fair:

top 10% of wage earners pay 65% of all taxes?

how is this fair you ask?? the more you make the more you pay. and when the tax cuts come around the more you put in, the more your going to get out. why should someone who pays a very small portion of taxes get back as much as someone who pays a great deal of the taxes?? thats why it seems like the "rich" get more of the tax break than others. THEY PAY MORE!

Its not fair - no taxes are fair. However we have to have a system that works.

Point 1: Notice in the very beginning that Kerry said that Saddam is not a threat, and by the middle to the end he's saying that he is.

Point 2: He mentioned that the troops are not getting the armors that they need to fight the war. That parents and troops are ordering stuff from the internet to do so. He's the one the veto the buget for special aided armor that Bush was trying to pass in Congress.

Point 3: He would work bilaterally with Korea. When in the beginning he said he would be in unisons with other countries, united with them. Bilateral would mean negotiations with these terrorist, that's why America don't do them. When was the last time America did that?

Point 4: How is his 4 point system different from what President Bush is doing? It is the same exact thing. Does he thing he would succeed because he's better looking with a great smile, according to what he said(jokingly in his campaign). The world hates us because we are arrogant, we proclaim ourselves to be leaders. His 4 point system is the same thing, no different.

Point 5: Coalition forces, especially Germany already have 160,000 Iraqi soldiers trained, 80,000 police officers trained and so forth. Now if that is not accelaration what is. According to Kerry that is lack of progress.

Point 6: There are 38 million Iraqis. Not even one percent is against our troops. Our troops are fighting small aggressive armed militias. Most of them wants peace and democracy to come through. According to Kerry, they don't know what they want.

Point 7: The biggest mistake Kerry said. There is not Al-queeda in Iraq or connection too. Heck, there are Al-queeda cells in living the USA. There are training camps, finances, and cells all over Iraq. Did he turned blind eyes to it.

Point 8: Kerry flip flops on issues, especially Iraq. He mentioned that he would get 6% of the troops out in his first term and then more as it progresses. This would indeed prematurely ends the war. See if you are a Senator, it's Ok to flip flop. But if you are a President, you are liable.

Point 9: He quoted general Tommy Frank. Well if you hear what they general is saying now, he totally disagree with that quote.

Point 10: He said we let Osama B. go and when we had the opportunity to nail him in Afghanistan. Instead we let the warlords do it. Wrong, it was the warlords that helped lead us to their hiding. Plus it was them that knew where he is. To top it all off, Osama might not have been there in the first place. Rumor has it that he fled right away when the fighting broke off. Or, wasn't there at all.

Pres. Bush is not a great speaker, I will give you that. Kerry is champion debater. He's been doing that since college and after his Vietnam services. What Bush lack in eloquence in speech, he makes up for it in action.

Did you guys know that Kerry got a pedicure, a hair cut, message, and nap before the debate. Bush, on the other hand, visited the tornado torn places and hospital. That was not mentioned in the liberal news media.

Kerry threw alot of curve balls and I was yelling at Bush to hit it. Unfortunately, he did look nervous and frozen. I hope next time he does better. But as a voting Democrat like myself, I am still voting for Bush. Why, because he has never changed and always on top of things. Plus, I was very disappointed when I voting for Clinton twice.
