You dont think he will lower middle class taxes just because he is a democrat? You really think the world is that black and white?

What? Producing oil is a business and in capitalism the producer is free to determine the price he wants to get from his product.
Consumer has several choices: Pay the price, search for alternative product, cut down your usage, quit using the product or try to negotiate a price cut.

Producing oil is not a welfare project;If you can't afford to buy gas buy a bicycle.

While gasoline is certainly part of the equation, its only a percentage of it. You see, any consumer goods that use plastic, from your computer, to the sexual toys on your dresser, require oil. Food requires shipment from the field, to the grocery store. The price of fuel goes up, so does your grocery bill. Just about every item in front of you right now required oil to make, whether it be glass (To fire the furnace to make the glass) to paper (if your generators use fuel instead of coal or nuclear power)

So, in conclusion, think outside of "MPG", as it affects all aspects of our lives.

The overall prices on goods wont go up that much. It will affect people who drive poor mpg cars more then anything. BTW kerry is calling for opening up the oil reserves for the summer while bush is sitting on it. So yes, if kerry was in charge oil prices would go that high.

I do not think John Kerry will lower middle class taxes, I do not think it is imposible that another democrat might.

I know the world is not black and white, but I dont think their is much of a gray area for Kerry on this one.

So you think his tax plan that he has been running on is just a lie?

Of course he'll lower middle class taxes.

But then to a Democrat, anyone making over $35K is "rich upper class".

Wrong anyone over 200k is in the upper class tax bracket.
Lets be realistic here.

Has he come out and clearly said he would lower middle class taxes?

If he did I missed it. But with Kerry, I am prone to think just about anything he says can change.

Toad · « **Reply #14 on:** March 31, 2004, 12:33:31 PM »

OK, I guess they think over $77K is rich. That's where the plans seem to start coming together.
