(snip) Uh, Kerry USED Bush to illustrate that the Bush stats considered
Bush
a
small business owner.

The key word here is "used". Kerry used this as a diversion so the focus
wouldn't be on all the legitimate small business owners that would suffer
under Kerry's tax rollback. In essence, what Kerry stated was, "I want to
impose a higher tax burden on a man who's reported income is over $200k so
that rich people can't use these deductions to avoid paying miniscule
taxes
on "odds and ends" income. So what if that means a successful
self-employed
individual gets hurt?"

If he is successful, part of the tax burden will fall onto those
individuals
who run small businesses. In the rhetoric that's spewed about the
concerns
for jobs, what Kerry wants to do is in fact encourage the spread of
"corporate giants" and limit the ability for success for the individual.
Especially those individuals who keep potential workers from becoming
dependent on large corporations for jobs.

To put it in simpler terms..... Kerry doesn't want you to be encouraged to
start your own ketchup company.



That interpretation is plain wrong, crazy even.
