As the election comes nearer,  we must look at look at who has done the most to benefit hard working, middle-class families as well as the working poor. We must see through the fog of overly negative spin and distortion that the Bush campaign has been working overtime to produce and look at the facts about who helps middle-class American’s and who doesn’t.

While the Bush campaign attempts to distort John Kerry’s record, the facts show that John Kerry has proposed nearly three times as much new tax relief for middle-class families as George Bush.  John Kerry has innovative proposals to help families pay for tuition so their children can get the education they deserve and to create a health care plan to provide coverage to the hard-working families that deserve and to lower the tax rate for companies, large and small, that create good, quality jobs in America.

The record shows that George W. Bush has done very little to help the middle-class and working poor families that this nation relies on and instead has given almost all the tax cuts to the top 2% of the income bracket and has only hurt those in the bottom 98% percent of the income bracket.  As the election comes nearer, I am confident that more voters will realize that John Kerry is the right choice for them and for America.
