| Description | On a cash-raising trip for Republicans, President Bush said Thursday that Americans will have less money in their pockets if Democrats win control of Congress.
"They've worked hard to sustain their record as the party of high taxes," Bush said during a fundraising speech in Tampa, Fla.
"If they get control of the House of Representatives, they'll raise your taxes and it'll hurt our economy," Bush said, repeating the same argument he made at a news conference last month.
He criticized a published comment by Rep. Charles Rangel (news, bio, voting record), D-N.Y., who is in line to become chairman of the Ways and Means Committee if Democrats win the House. Rangel was quoted in a news story this week as saying he "cannot think of one" of Bush's tax cuts he would renew.
"That's one way of saying they're going to raise your taxes," said Bush, who avoided naming Rangel directly. "You see, if you don't extend the tax cuts, your taxes go up." |
