As per the standard Democrat line, Kerry is keen to prey on the ignorant masses and declare Bush a friend only of the rich who taxes the poor to put money in the hands of the few.

Of course, he is lying (as usual).

Check this out (from www.taxfoundation.org):

"Proportionately, the top-earning 25 percent of taxpayers earned more than 65 percent of the nation's income and paid more than three out of every four dollars collected by the federal income tax (77%) in 2001. There were 32.2 million tax returns in the top 25 percent, all with adjusted gross incomes (AGI) over $56,085.

At the other end of the income spectrum, the bottom 50 percent of the nation's taxpayers (everyone whose adjusted gross income was under $28,528) earned more and paid less. Total income for this group rose from $834 billion to $861 billion. That was up from 13.0 percent of all income in 2000 to 13.8 percent in 2001. Despite income growth, the bottom 50 percent's average tax rate fell from 4.6 percent to 4.1."

Do some of the math, look up the actual figures, don't believe the hype and stay away from the dirty liberals.
