| Description | Bush Radio Address Raps Kerry's Tax Plans
The Honolulu Advertiser
President Bush used yet another forum to issue a thinly veiled attack against Democratic rival John Kerry, saying Saturday in his weekly radio address that higher taxes and new trade barriers would be "a recipe for economic disaster."
Bush never mentioned the Massachusetts senator by name, unlike new television ads that began airing Friday and several speeches over the last 10 days. But his arguments against the economic policies of what he called "some politicians in Washington" were the same ones he has repeatedly used against Kerry.
"They want to respond in old, ineffective ways," the president said. "They want to increase federal taxes, yet punishing families and small businesses is not a job-creation strategy. They want to build up trade walls, and isolate America from the rest of the world but economic isolationism would threaten the millions of good American jobs that depend on exports. These tired, old policies of tax and spend, and economic isolationism, are a recipe for economic disaster." |
