WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on Tuesday pushed for the repeal of President Bush's tax cuts for wealthy Americans to finance the $87 billion the president is seeking for the military and reconstruction of Iraq.


As the Senate was poised to consider the aid package, Kerry and Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., planned to offer an amendment to the $87 billion request that would repeal tax cuts for individuals making more than $300,000 a year.

``The Bush administration is asking us to pay more and more for its failures - another $87 billion that the American people are being asked to shoulder alone and which America's middle class is being asked to shoulder disproportionately,'' Kerry said in a speech to be delivered at the Brookings Institution.

1. And The Press Seems To Like His Wilson Quote

``President Bush's father called those who expose the names of national security sources 'traitors,''' Kerry said. ``And this President Bush needs to start going after any traitors in his midst - and that means more than an inside once-over from his friend - and Karl Rove's client - John Ashcroft.''

Keep hammering them, Kerry!!!
