More Lies
I remember seeing this in the Washington Post a few weeks ago.
White House officials contend that preserving the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans is a major small-business issue. Three-quarters of the richest taxpayers, they say, receive income from "flow-through" entities including S-corporations, partnerships and sole proprietorships.
Okay, seriously, I know you're trying to cover your ass on this one, but if you're in the top 1% of Americans, how small can your business possibly be?
You gotta love the way the article goes out of its way to avoid flatly stating that Bush is lying on this one. That damn liberal bias really gets in the way of criticizing a Republican president, doesn't it?
NOTE: Link updated with original Washington Post story.
