Re: New Bush quote. . . - :-)
Bush also said high taxes on the rich are a failed strategy because "the really rich people figure out how to dodge taxes anyway."

No, not all.
That could be what we need: more stupid rich people.

Re: New Bush quote. . . - :-)
Later on, I read that this is an actual talking point. See, Kerry cannot tax the rich because their lawyers and accountants will successfully dodge the taxes.
Therefore, if we elect Kerry he will end up taxing the middle class because the rich will become invisible (through skillful tax dodges) and therefore IRS will hammer the next in line, the middle class.
Kerry's tax increase will necessarily slide down the rate brackets, no matter what he says so voting for Kerry will raise your taxes, no matter what.
Its not an intellectual argument, yet the focus groups seem to think it has traction.

Re: New Bush quote. . . - :-)
It probably has traction because Bush can point to Kerry himself as a classic example.
In other words, Bush isn't making a serious argument of any kind, merely whittling a stick he can beat Kerry around the head with for a while.
