Numbers

Our numbers Preznit strikes again.... Salon.com Politics:

Bush attacked Kerry for making tax proposals that he said would raise taxes on 900,000 small business owners. As the folks at Annenberg explain -- and that's factcheck.org, not factcheck.com, Mr. Vice President -- Bush got his number wrong, and his definition of "small business owners" includes all individuals who who file certain tax forms, whether they're actually small business owners or not. But even if you accept Bush's math and Bush's definition, 32 million small business owners would see no change in their taxes. Bush doesn't mention them on the stump. Likewise, when Bush talked about Kerry's health care proposals this week, he warned that Kerry's plan would force "8 million Americans" to change their health insurance plans. He didn't mention that 235 million Americans wouldn't have to change their plans.
