BUSH WINNING ON TAX ISSUES ACCORDING
TO ABC NEWS
For
a new kind of Republican, George W. Bush is getting serious mileage
out of an old-fashioned Republican issue. According to ABC:
- 15
percent of likely voters say taxes is their No. 1 issue, compared
to 11 percent in 1996, and among these voters George W. Bush
holds a commanding 62-point lead.
- ABCNews.com
reported "As noted in Tuesday's tracking poll, Gore's having
trouble maintaining the traditional Democratic advantage on
Social Security because of the popularity of Bush's proposal
to let people invest a portion of their retirement taxes in
the stock market."
This
clearly shows that voters are not buying into Al Gore's negative
attack ads and class warfare.
While Al Gore is clinging desperately to the status quo on
issues like Medicare and Social Security and embarking on a $2 trillion
dollar spending spree, Gov. Bush has put forth a new vision for
the future of this country, and Americans are buying it.
