Guess what? Kerry and Edwards didn't vote for Bush's tax cuts.
Check the voting records:
Kerry and Edwards were both among the "Nay" votes against Bush's 2001 tax-cut bill -- the "Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001" -- when it first came up in the Senate on May 23, 2001. It passed 62-38.
And on May 26, 2001 when the House-Senate compromise bill came up for the final Senate vote required to send the measure on for the President's signature, Edwards voted "Nay." Kerry was absent but his vote would not have made a difference: the bill passed 58-33
The second Bush tax-cut bill came up two years later, the "Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003." And both Kerry and Edwards voted "Nay" when it was first considered on May 15, 2003. It passed 51-49.
And when the JGTRRA tax-cut bill came up for final passage May 23, 2003, Edwards and Kerry both voted "Nay." The vote was 50-50, and the measure became law only because Vice President Cheney cast the tie-breaking vote in his Constitutional role as President of the Senate.
Kerry and Edwards did vote for for an economic stimulus package in 2002 that contained a hefty but temporary tax cut for businesses, currently set to expire at the end of this year. Unlike the two much larger Bush tax cuts, this one contained no cuts for individual taxpayers.The measure also extended unemployment benefits for 13 additional weeks for individuals who had exhausted their 26 weeks of regular coverage. The "Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002" passed the Senate March 8, 2002, with only nine senators voting against it.
There you have it folks, the truth.
