Here’s a section from an AP story (reproduced on Fox News) – “Bush officially kicks off campaign in Florida”
Bush used his first negative ad against Kerry to contend that the presumptive Democratic nominee would raise taxes by $900 billion if president. The figure comes from estimated costs of the health care plan Kerry has proposed. Kerry has not yet said where the money would come from to pay for the new health benefits.$250 - $900 = a whole pile of tax hikes on YOU (yes you!)
Kerry also has supported rolling back the portion of the Bush tax cuts that go to those that earn more than $200,000 a year, which most estimates agree would save about $250 billion over 10 years.
