This just hit the wires:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney reaped tax benefits last year from the cuts that they pushed through Congress and that Democrats have criticized as a boon to the rich.
The government's top two executives, both wealthy men, paid smaller shares of their income in federal taxes in 2003 than in the year before, according to returns released Tuesday by the White House.
Bush and his wife, Laura, paid $227,490 in federal income taxes -- or about 28 percent of their $822,126 in adjusted gross income. For 2002, the Bushes paid about 31 percent of their adjusted gross income -- which was slightly higher at $856,056 -- in federal taxes, for a total of $268,719.
How so convenient? Of course this is no surprise but this FACT should be repeated ad infinitum between now and the elections.
Bush-Cheney Passed Tax Cuts for Their Own Rich Asses
or some cleaner variation thereof. How about some proposed slogans! Lets hear it!
