Democrats want you to believe that they "love" tax cuts:
Rep. Pelosi (D-CA): "Democrats have supported middle-income tax cuts. We love tax cuts, because when they are geared to the middle class, inject demand into the economy, create jobs, and also increase savings in our country. We've always been for them, whether it's the R&D tax credit, whether it's the child tax credit in a refundable way. I have told you in the speech what our priorities were."
FACT: 1993, 217 House and 50 Senate Democrates voted for Bill Clinton's tax hike, which raised taxes $241 billion.
John H. Cushman, Jr., The Budge Struggle, The New York Times 8/8/93 "Many people who are not wealthy will be affected by the tax increases, some in ways that have been widely heralded, but others in ways that may come as a surprise. Gasoline taxes are going up; so are taxes on many people's social security benefits."

My daughter is a junior at Mayo High School and she and a couple of her friends were having a discussion with me the other night about kids in their school. I am APPALLED that these girls all said that over half of their high school smokes dope. What in the world is going through these children's heads? With all the warnings and educational tools we have put forth for these kids to keep them from using, its astonishing to me that they would be using so freely.

I thank God every day that my daughter met the girls that she did when we moved to Rochester when she was in 7th grade. She had been surrounded with a group of kids that are incredible!
