Lieberman says something right.......on taxes!
MANCHESTER, N.H., Oct. 13 — Democrat Joe Lieberman, hoping to jump-start his presidential campaign with a fresh attack on White House policy, is promising to ensure that upper-income Americans pay more taxes than they did before President Bush’s record-breaking tax cuts.

-snip-

AS PART OF what the Connecticut senator calls a major tax reform package, he also would adjust income tax rates to lower the burden on middle-class Americans, many of whom already received cuts under Bush’s policies.
By reducing spending and raising taxes on the wealthy, Lieberman believes he can cut the deficit every year he’s in office and balance the budget by the end of a second term.

1. I really like his tax plan
To bad I can't stand him. This makes me feel a little bit better about having to vote for him if it came down to it. I don't think it will though.

2. Yeah
But he'd just spend the extra money on helping Israel commit genocide in Palestine.

4. one track mind
"Balancing the budget" doesn't mean "extra money to spend on preventing genocide". Israel doesn't enter into it. Get over it.
