Political Quotes

“on April 24, President Bush visited the Timken Company, a plant in Canton, Ohio. He touted there his economic program and his tax cuts. Just the other day in Timken, Ohio, they closed the plant, firing 1,300 employees. The President went on to say on his visit that his tax cut would end the double taxation of stock dividends which would mean, and I quote the President, ``companies like Timken have got a better capacity to expand, more jobs.'' He went on to say, ``We can do whatever it takes to overcome the obstacles in our way. I know you're optimistic about the future of this company.'' Three tax cuts, $3 trillion in debt, 3 more million Americans without jobs, 3 more million Americans in poverty since he has been President, and 43 million uninsured Americans. I am not sure we can afford this much progress in America. After announcing his tax cut in Timken, Ohio, the other day, just 2 days ago, the executive closed the plant firing 1,300 workers. We can do better. There is a new direction in America that puts working families at the center of our economic policies rather than dividend tax cuts for contributors who support the President's reelection.”
