BUSH BEGINS 2ND HUNDRED DAYS WITH CALL FOR TAXES ON RELIEF Midland, TX - (UGN) - President Bush, basking in the mixed success of his first hundred days getting to be president, added another idea to his tax program yesterday: a tax on relief. "People on Relief ought to be taxed," declared Bush, using an FDR-era word for welfare. "I say put those suckers in the 28% bracket, so they know how it feels to be an American," Bush said. Critics in both parties immediately questioned Bush's commitment to compassionate conservatism. "To give someone two hundred dollars in food stamps and then take fifty-six dollars back just seems mean," said one Senator, who wished to remain nameless. 
"How do you spell relief? Not B-u-s-h," said another. Bush called upon Congress to approve his idea, in the spirit of bipartisanship. "If you don't approve it, you're going to look pretty unbipartisan," he said. |
