25. it is not a simplification
The Bush tax cuts have contributed to the mess most states are in today. The tax cut that most people have gotten is fast being made up by states raising fees, state taxes, and cutting programs. Local governments are raising property taxes.

No matter who the democrats nominate Bush and company will try and peg them as a tax hiker. Even though Kerry says he only wants to dismantle the tax cuts for the wealthy it will be spinned that he too wants to dismantle the entire program.

As far as Kerry standing behind a portion of Bush's economic program he is. Just like he has been trying to have it both ways on Iraq.
